I'm crossing my fingers for you!

I added the comfort package about a month after my order was put in by the dealer on 2/14. No problem.
Of course, it was a month later until I even got a VIN and 2 months after the added comfort package when they actually got around to build it.
Maybe your close to getting a VIN.

 

If the order has been picked up by ford then no you can't change. Good news is that your wait may not be as long as others since half the battle is scheduling the order.

 

My dealer won't tell me if the order has been picked up by Ford. But I guess if I really can't change it then that is too bad.

I wanted to change the car to the MCOA edition with the performance package, instead of just the performance package. The Ford.ca site is pretty confusing and I did not realize that you do not get fog lights or a spoiler with the performance package. For the price difference I wanted to get them done by the factory because that is cheaper than trying to add them afterwards.

Thanks for the info!

 

Hmm. Why won't they tell you if ford has scheduled. It's almost like they aren't taking you seriously. Any money down??

 

FYI,

We dropped the car off this morning for the clear bra and stripes. We'll post pictures this weekend.

 

Can't wait to see them.

 

Yup - deposit down. I think it is a function of how much they are making on the deal. Would be different if I was buying a Boss or GT500. But not much margin in a V6 so why spend a bunch of time on it.

 

Any suggestions on where or what clear bra and or how you like it would be appreciated. Did you wax or seal the car before you dropped it off?

 

Emailed back and forth with my dealer. He says he thinks my car will be on it's way soon and he'll start to give me a daily update. Anyone wanna volunteer to hold their breath for me. Lol

 

Well my wait is over!!! I feel I got EXTREMELY LUCKY, I ordered my car on 5/2 and two days ago found the exact car I ordered ( kona blue v6 performance package ) sitting on a lot, my dealer got it on a dealer trade and I canceled my order today. I'll be picking it up Saturday!!

 

Good move. Congrats!

 

But now you don't get to experience the agony of waiting. Why would you do that?

 

Does that GT Power Upgrade Pkg include the Ford Racing 3" Exhaust System? I'd really like to hear a clip of that exhaust. Can't find it anywhere on Youtube. Right now i'm eyeballing the PYPES and STAINLESS WORKS 3" catback systems but would like to hear FRPP's 3" exhaust system before i make up my mind.

 

I had mine installed by a local outfit in the Bay Area - so that might not help you (but he has 15+ years experience and was trained by the manufacturer's course). He gives a lifetime warranty, and uses XPEL kits, covering the front 1/4 of the hood, bumper, fenders, mirrors, headlights/foglights, and rear lip beneath the trunk hood where luggage is often dragged. I discussed it with him prior to my car's arrival and he suggested I get it to him directly from the dealer. He prepped by washing himself - but not waxing. Be patient with it, as you'll see tiny air bubbles the next day - they will dissolve by themselves within a couple days. My installer was very thorough in explaining the recommended care (wash and wax such that you always move your mit/towel away from the bra, towards the rest of the car, to avoid buildup at the lip). Also, spend a few $ and purchase the cleaner/sealant sold on XPEL's site.

I'm very pleased with the outcome. I don't cringe while driving down the freeway - and have the peace of mind knowing the front end will be in good shape years from now.

Good Luck.

 

Happy day! Got my VIN, build day (june 13), and "ETA" of June 25th! Thanks Deysha for being awesome! I ordered April 8th-ish, so not a bad wait so far.

 

Well I still don't know when my car will show and now my $750 cash certificate has expired so I'm out that as well. I thought seeing though I obtained it after I decided to order the 60 days allotted would be plenty of time to get the car in. The original eta was 5/8 then 5/10 and since then there have been no new eta updates. I guess that the dealer can ask for an exception to the expiration but thats no guarantee. In the meantime I contacted Ford marketing and the guy is setting me up with another brochure (no guarantees it will contain the $750 offer though) so we shall see what happens. I know i haven't had to wait nearly as long as others but this waiting for 4 weeks after the car gets built and still don't have it is for the birds.... oh yea and I only live about 170 miles from plant.
I know it will be worth it when I get it but it seems like lately here all the cards are stacked against me.

 

well it looks good to me because I can't even tell it's on there..
what does something like that cost if you don't mind me asking??

 

I know how ya feel. Hopefully, we get ours soon.

 

Mine is set to expire on 6/25. My ETA is 6/21. I voiced my concern to my dealer and they "talked to their Ford rep" and were able to lock in the discount. Now I rest easy if the car is delayed for some reason. I'd check with you dealer again............
