In the grand scheme of things your car wasn't ordered too long ago, Joker, nor was it built too long ago, compared to a lot of orders. The delays may just be due to the transportation queue, putting your car off until relatively later. I mean really they said they were trying to do things in order and have it done by the end of the month, that implies some cars won't get shipped until closer to the end of the month. It's probably just that it happened to be you. Dunno about Kahdir though, but his car got built relatively late for some reason.

It might be more useful to stress over financing. I should have looked into this better than I did and sooner, and right now I'm not sure I'll even be able to pick up my car. Why? "Insufficient Credit History."
I'd understand if my car was waiting to be shipped from Ramp 5P. Right now it's just been lurking offsite with no updates in almost a week. I made a promise to not bug my dealer or CS until next Wednesday. And when I do, I totally expect them to say "your car shipped two days ago".

Not myyyy fault the bank rep told me it would be no problem only for it to go higher up the chain for a denial based on insufficient credit history. Needless to say, my ninjas will be busy this weekend.

When my wife bought her first Mustang they wanted to lease it to her. The dealership said she's young and has too little credit history. She said if it comes down to paying rent or making the car payment, she will sleep in the car before defaulting on the loan. She never had to sleep in it and never missed a payment.

Pretty much the same boat I'm in. I know my finances and the payments are well within my budget, but it's just the credit history. What did she end up doing?

I don't recall. This was several years ago, and well before we met. She might have had her folks co-sign a loan.

very common note found on all ford vehicles. Not to worry. They pick vehicles at random as they come of the line, i would doubt this would cause any shipping delays. To Jokestars, my car was shipped offsite for a day then returned, and was shipped offsite a second time for about a week and then shipped to dealership as soon as it returned. I hope your car arrives soon, Mine arrived at the dealership within 36 hours of being returned from offsite.

As long as I had to wait for this beauty, and as much as I love it, I wouldn't take 10K ABOVE what I paid for it. That was a LONG 3 months........

Many years ago I bought a car that a salesman drove that had 6000 miles on it. I was able to get a very good deal and the car was in fantastic condition. It was one of those weird situations where I bought a "new" car with so many miles. Best part is I owned the car for 16 years, put 245,000 miles on it, no major repairs with original motor and transmission. I traded it in to buy my 2005 Mustang. Maybe I was lucky? If you take care of the car, you should have no worries. I always felt if a problem exists, it happens in the first 1000 miles or so. My 85 Chevy that I bought new with 7 miles on it had a transmission go in 3000 miles, new one put in, no issues ever again. You just never know?

It's all good. I would think of it as having extra QC testing by people who really know the car, at no extra charge!
