Tho I hope everyone that ordered a 2011 doesn't give us the play by play on all 9 stages...
:shame:

You bet I will! :jester:









No, seriously

Well mine is now in Bucked status, build date of 3/30 still and a now shows an ETA of 4/10(was 4/4, so maybe this is more realistic of a date)

I'm really hoping that they stick to that date, I'd love to be one of the first to get one!

Congrats! I haven't heard anything on mine yet. :shame:

Clearly you were not around in 2004 We had plenty of that waiting for the then New 2005. It's all good!:nice:

Great news, Welcome to TMS forums !!

**** dude i ordered mine back in late january and I still can't get a VIN, my dealer really sucks, wish i would have gone somewhere else.

I'm starting to think I messed up by waiting to order mine until 3/20.:shame:

Hey James, did your dealer order your car Retail under the program? If so, your gonna get your car, you just may have to wait another month. It all works out in the end. Just remember, the early cars that dealers changed from retail to stock, these are the cars that will be severily quality checked and may take a few extra weeks to a month extra to reach dealers as they make sure they are all sound before shipping.

I waited 6 months for my car. Trust me, in the end its all worth it. :nice:

Hey bud, I'm sorry for your problems your having! Let me know if you have any questions. :nice:

I'm not exactly sure of the difference. I went into my dealer on Saturday morning, gave them a Z-Plan pin, and ordered exactly what I wanted. They claimed that I was the first person to order the 2011 Mustang from their location. Does that help?

You're right on, quality is always worth waiting for!

I remember those times. And in the end, i never bought one. Go figure.
To OP, good for you buddy. :nice:

Sorry to bump this thread, but I checked my e-mail today and received this from my sales person:
Our records indicate that the vehicle order has already been received by Ford Motor Company and is awaiting selection by Computer Order Selection (COS) for submission to the plant.

Should I be worried that they just e-mailed this to me? lol I ordered back in feb

Ok guys, I looked at some of my papers from my dealer and I have a priority or 40. Should I be concerned about this being such a high number? I understand lower to be better but does 40 have some other meaning having ordered with a z-plan pin? They said I was the first to order from their location.

I heard a high priority number from someone else; there are dealers that start their numbers higher than other dealers. Don't know why, really. I guess it allows them more room to order other models.

I just ordered my V-6 on March 17th from a very large Ford dealer and have a priority number of 10. I think its just a dealer thing and really doesn't mean too much.
