How Long Must I Wait?
 

Hey everyone. I am soon to be a first-time Mustang owner:hyper:! I'm so excited I can barely sleep. I placed my order for a vista blue gt/cs on 10/9 and wanted to know about how long it might take to get here (Central Coast of California)? The dealer said about 6-8 weeks but it seems like it took longer for others.

Thanks.

6 weeks here, I know the feeling, I was the same way. My friends would not talk to me because all I wanted to talk about was my car coming...lol
Good luck my friend, you'll love it when it comes in.
there are ways to track your car from Ford... do a search for the ERL ( evil robot lady..lol. or go back in the GT/CS section to about mid July of 06 and find some of my posts. lots of details there.)

BTW, welcome to TMS. give us some info on what you ordered...ie: interior, extras, etc.

P.S. Gotta love the Vista Blue!!!!!

Thanks. I got 5 sp. manual, white CS stripes, black w/dove, nav, comfort pkg, HID, 3.55, GT app. pkg, and i'm going to be adding FRPP power upgrade pkg. I'll be sure to post some pics when it gets here!

would love to see the white CS stripes on a VB!!!

How long do you have to wait?

Too long. At least thats what it will seem like. Expect a year, and when it gets there sooner you'll be extremely happy. :nice: I just got my CS about 2 weeks ago, now has 800 miles and i put 795 of them on it.

Hey Ryan,
Congratulations and thanks for your service to our country! :patriot:

I ordered mine on 9/18/2008 Here is my dates from Ford...

Receipt Date:9/18/2008
Serialize Date:9/19/2008
Segment Date:9/19/2008
Sequence Date:9/23/2008
Blend Date:10/1/2008
Produced Date:
Gate Release Date:
Ship Date:
Arrival Date:
Sold Date:

Between the Blend Date and the Produced Date is about 7-12 days so mine should be built already or very shortly. The dealer called and said it would be in on October 28th but it could slip a few days... With the economy being what it is and also factor in they are only going to build 50k 2009's they are moving pretty darn quick... A lot faster than I thought...

Hope this helps...

oy yea congrats and Thank-you for your service. My Dad was USMC also Many many moons ago

Thanks for everything, guys. I appreciate it.

10 weeks for me but that was a couple of years ago. I hope you don't have to wait that long. What ever happens, it's worth it! :nice:

I have to say Ray Man that your pics of the FRPP exhaust is what convinced me that I had to get it. You have an amazing ride.

Build Date
 

All you need to do is supply your VIN number from the dealer and I can track it thru the system.:flag:

Vista Blue............

How do you do that?

Jeff got me all of my dates!! Infact mine was built on Friday!!! :metal:

Thanks Jeff!

That's awesome!

Normally about six weeks although it was seven months for me in 2005 as the creator of the IUP feature was in a lawsuit action with Ford at the time and those of us with the IUP feature had to wait.

VIN
 

Its a secret..........I could tell you, but I would have to kill you.........:D

Well, I suppose my security clearance doesn't apply to tracking Mustangs:lol3: I'll let you know when I know. Thanks.

Let us iknow when you order it... Good luck!

Every Thursday I get to see a new Office episode and then I know that I am one more week closer to my Mustang. This really is the longest wait! I can't believe its only been two weeks this Thursday. I guess that will make arrival day that much better. It is a little troubling that I have not heard anything from the dealer yet...

The dealer should get you your VIN by now... I would call and ask. I did and they got my the VIN and was able to track. Forget my earlier question you oredered on the 9th... I would suspect that yours should be built this week or next...
