My 2011 GT says it was produced (or started to be produced) on April 13th. Well, that's if I read the bottom section of my Window Sticker correctly !(AD131 N REC2X 115 001326 04 13 10)

The halt on the 2011 Mustang GT 5.0L was started this morning, April 14th, 2010!

 

Not the date BELLOW the sticker (04/14/2010) but the long text string above it !

 

Well if i'm not mistaken your build date is next tuesday (4/20), look at the upper left corner of the sticker.

 

From my understanding, April 13th is the date that the build order was finalized. You build date is April 20th, as shown in the 9 digit number at the upper left.

 

OK, I don't think the marketing people had anything to do with this one.

 

I just called the ford customer service number and they stated the car was sent to production on 4/8 with an ETA to the dealer on 4/26.

 

I agree that if they are just waiting for the 17th they should just announce it. But as far as your response of just cancelling it, that's just plain impatience on your behalf. Things like this happen all the time due to quality constraints and the ever increasing demands of consumers. Your cancelled order would make another sale for another salesman, but you now have wasted your salesman's time, who ordered it for you. All because you want something right now. And will now settle for something else, maybe even wait longer, just to spite them. Hopefully you understand that the time they spent with you checking options and getting it ordered just the way you wanted it, he made NOTHING. You kept him from making any sort of income at that time by selling a vehicle to someone else.
I'm sorry for the rant, but I hate when people only think about themselves, when if they just understood what goes into something first, they may approach it differently.
You talked about how you don't understand how we let the manufacturer's get away with this, I wonder how they put up with you cancelling it on a whim?

 

Hehe, that is great news for me too !!

My dealer told me this morning he got an ETA of April 21st. So I might get my GT500 end of next week!!

 

If there is a problem with the GT, will they fix all the cars already built before shipping or push it off to the dealer to do it? Fixing the GTs on their lot sounds overwhelming with how many there probably are by now!

 

I finally got in touch with my dealer and he told me to expect my GT the week of April 30th.

Here's the link to the window sticker

Where does ti say when it will be produced?

 

It was built on the 12th. Grats.

 

Your manufacture date was 4/12/2010.

 

Thanks guys.

Of course my dealer told me to expect it the week of the 30th and I'm going away on a trip on the 5th of May.

 

Aww I'm so jealous of you guys right now...

 

Could you hint to the reason why?

 

Looks like GT's are also being built.
My dealer sent me an status update on my GT yesterday the build date was 4/12 its status on 4/13 early AM showed "In Production - Body Shop".

 

So, I guess if they're holding up GT production, my already built one won't ship until they release, correct?

 

Correct!
