Is there a way with the window sticker to get a "potentially possible" delivery date? At the bottom center of the sticker it has a date 04/14/2011, is that when it was scheduled to be on its way to be built? Blend is 4099, it is missing the boot cover and car cover on there but those aren't necessary to the building process so I'm not worried YET.
Anyone?
Anyone?

Hey all, I have been following this thread since I ordered my 2012 on Feb. 7th. I finally broke down and signed up this week so I could join the masses and pester Deysha. I have a build week of April 15th, but my ETA isn't until May 12th. This seems like a long time in between compared to what most people post. Charleston SC isn't next door, but not exactly the far side of the work either. Anyone else has almost a month between build and delivery? Don't get me wrong, I am happy I know its being built and will be on its way soon, just seems weird. Thank you for the info Deysha, you do a great service!

Hi all,
New to the site, but I've been following since I ordered my GT on 3/17 (St. Patrick's Day), seems like everyone is in the same boat here. So I figured I would join in on this forum. I’ve been waiting patiently, but still haven't gotten a VIN yet and starting to get impatient! I hope I don't have to wait 8 weeks just to get a VIN, like some here. Well If I don’t have a VIN by May 20th I’m cancelling and going out to buy a new Harley. If Ford doesn’t want my business, I’m sure Harley does.

Wishing you the best of course. As an aside, Harley probably does want (and need) your business more than Ford. I think their sales took a beating and haven't really recovered following the meltdown a few years ago. It's difficult for people to entertain the idea of paying $25,000 for a motorcycle, especially when you can't take a second mortgage on the house for 0% anymore to finance it! Amazing how much and how quickly the mentality has changed.

I know I have said this before, but this has been a most frustrating experience. All I ask of a company is to give me a date and stick to it!
My mustang has been pushed back now three times and no one can give me a straight answer. Instead of saying, "Part "A" is missing" or "its more economical for us to build V6's right now" I just get a date and a feigned apology.
Even when I called Customer Service, they could not let me know if my car is to be built tomorrow like the window sticker, nor can they explain the delays.
As such, ALL I am asking for is a solid date, becuase like many here I want to take vacation and enjoy my purchase. I DO NOT care (I lied, I do care a little) if delivery is three months away, so long as Ford sticks to what they say.
After a dealer trying to back away from our agreed upon price, this is the least thing that Ford can do.

So here's a funny story: On the way home from dinner with the parents, and thought it would be cool to stop by and look at a lava red gt because they never saw the color. Thought I would show my dad a lava red hd on the lot after they saw the car. Was walking through the lot to go back to the car and saw a mustang with the saddle interior. As I got closer to the car I realized it wasnt black but lava red. Started looking at the options and realized it was my car! As of a day or two ago it was in the lot in michigan! I'm so happy, and surprised that it just "showed up!" Anyone else have their car arrive much earlier than expected? I was thinking late next week. Lol now hopefully don't get slammed on my trade in, hope to be driving the car by saturday!

My salesman checked the status last night, and my car has been built! The build date was 4/12. The ETA is 4/21, which would be about 6 weeks since I ordered (they said 6-8 weeks). So far, everything has been right on schedule.

Talked to my salesman last night, he said the owner of the dealership called Ford to push the orders they have pending. Ford told him that "they would do their best to get the dealers retail orders built." I didn't get any reason why there’s a hold up, not very encouraging. Well good luck to all who are still waiting for VIN’s. For those who have their VIN’s, SWEET! Wish you the best with your new ride!!

Woke up this morning, grabbed some coffee, got settled in at work, then did our morning ritual of checking the forums, and the status of our VIN (window sticker).
Our freakin window sticker is UP, baby!!!![Bowdown](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/bowdown.gif)
http://services.forddirect.fordvehic...BP8CF1C5218231
We are surprised we got it so soon, considering our build day isn't until 4/26.
Anyway, hope you all get as good a surprise as we did today!

@EvilPeppard. That is awesome. Im waiting for my window sticker now. It seems there are a few of us on here that got slotted for the 4.25.2011 build, and that is cool you got the sticker so early. I was expecting it next week-ish. Seriously im getting anxious. Picking this bad boy up the second day of leave from deployment. Hope I dont get speeding tickets, too fast....

Congratulations to all of you getting window stickers. And congratulations to all of you already driving your new Mustangs!!
My dealer sent me the status of mine this morning...
Status
Primary: In Transit
Secondary: Received - Rail (Auto Warehousing )
Vehicle Location: Ramp 51, Auto Alliance, MI
Status Date / Time: Apr-14-2011, 13:00 ET
ETA: May-01-2011
I'm not sure how accurate the projection is but I'm hoping it arrives before the ETA. Does anyone know how close they come to these dates or does it just depend your location? Thanks.
