On march 29th i ordered a grabber blue 5.0 manual with brembo brakes and 3.73, Im In puerto Rico right now and have leave between units from may18-june19th. I was starting to worry that I wouldn't have the mustang for ny leave, but dealer called me two days ago with an ETA of may15! So I'm pretty stoked.

 

Still nothing from my dealer after three emails to salesman and one to finance guy on a question of whether I should pay off a credit card prior to the loan or not. Nothing from them in a month. PM'd Deysha, hopefully she can come through with some good news.
Ordered March 7th. Not as long as some. But I'm not very confident in the 5 weeks the salesman told me. Seeing as that is already gone. And without a VIN yet I don't think the 6-8 weeks is going to happen either.

 

Got my VIN today too. My build week is 05/16/11. ETA pending. A big thank you to Deysha for PM'ing me the info.

 

Ordered a GT Premium on 2/9/11 and got word that it was completed on April 15, shipped on April 16 and ETA will be May 2, 2011.. Want to thank Deysha for all her work and help on this and other forums...

 

Congratulations and Good Luck.

 

Same to you.

 

I'm not sure if you would say my build date was moved up or not. Originally the build date was 4/11, then after the last 1 week plant shut down, I was told 4/25 for the build. Then this week, it was suddenly built and on the train I called Thursday for an update, and it was at the ramp of the local Ford plant, where they offload all of the cars for this area. Today, it's in my garage!!

 

Deysha comes through!!! Just gave me the VIN and a build week scheduled for May 16th. No ETA yet, but that is already the most and best news I've had so far. Order placed Mar 7th, 401A Yellow Blaze 5.0 Coupe, MT82 coupe. I can't wait. Also got word for my boss today I'll probably be gone the following week for training so knowing my luck, I'm betting that's when the car will show up. Thanks, Deysha! Happy Easter.

 

Beautiful car. Beautiful neighborhood. Kona Blue is a gorgeous color.

 

You have also had a very Good Friday.

For what it is worth, it cannot hurt to pay off a credit card, then refrain from using it while making monthly car payments. Can it be assumed that the financing was already approved? If you already have favorable terms, then paying off the credit card is gravy. If the interest rate is high, then paying off the credit card in time for it to appear on your credit report might help to lower it. Every little bit helps.

 

@ LaVARedOM. Thank you for the calming words and the hyperlink. I definitely was concerned to discover my initial Priority listing was miles behind the worst I had heard mentioned on this forum thread. I e-mailed my dealer the other day and he sent me a scan of the Dora. Apparently they have my order listed as a Type 1 with a Priority of 13. Finally some good news and fits what you were telling me as well. Thanks again. -Trenton

 

Sa-weet and congrats! Thanks for the pix!

 

Hopefully now that my lil V6 is out of the way, the rest of your cars can get moving! I needed a head start since I don't have as much go...

 

You are correct, we were already pre-approved, but unfortunately I was dumb with credit during college, and have only been 'back on track' for the past 4 or 5 years. We are still Tier 2 after buying the house last year so like you said, I figured every little bit helps so I was reaching out with the question. I was checking to see if it would be worth paying off the credit card, even if it meant some of my down payment or taxes or whatever would need to be put back on the card. It's only a 1500 balance, so I think I'll just pay it off anyway.

 

Build day Monday! Eta moved from 5-9 to 5-11, but I'll take it! Wait dice 1-3-11 almost over. Thanks for the update. Deysha and happy Easter to all! On a side note, visiting SEDONA Arizona this week I found some roads I would love to drive the stang on, too bad I live 2300 miles east

Delivery delayed again... was built on 4/15 and will not be here until May 6.

Its only 200 miles away and I cannot even go get it.

 

Very nice car! Grats.

So, on your window sticker, what was the actual build date listed? We are curious what it says considering when you thought the build date was, then the fact that you received the car before you even thought it was built. Let us know.

 

My salesman just called he ordered the wrong rear pedestal spoiler and didn't notice until they already had it painted black,so we will pick the car up today then when he reorders the correct one will have it installed . Always something

 

The physical sticker doesn't have the white band around the edge with the dates, state, blend number, etc. So I can't see anything on it that tells what the build date was.

My PDF sticker never changed - it always said 4/11 build date from the first time I saw it. http://services.forddirect.fordvehic...bp8am1c5214682

 

Timing sometimes works out. My car was biult on Monday and was at the dealer Friday. Picked it up today and it's raining like crazy. So here are some of the shots in the rain
