GottaHaveIt

If everything is on the ball that is the general statement that seems to be given out from every sales person.

For me it was 3 1/2 weeks from this point on. But man, it's already been 10 weeks for you huh?? Wow, that's a lot. I ordered mine on 8/30 and they told me that the car will be dropped here on the October 26th. So 8 weeks total basically. I really don't have a clue how Ford prioritizes orders to tell you the truth. There's no pattern from one order to the other, looks like chaos. Plus mine was a manual with a 3:55 ratio and it's supposed to be a drag on turnover... turned out that NOT. The only thing that *may* have speeded up the process is that I paid cash for it but again I wouldn't understand why that would make things go any faster.

I'll post pictures on here once I have received and customized my ride, story of helping you wait. Anyways, good luck, hope time flies by for you

You will most likely be scheduled for a built week of November 6th...I was serialized last week...Check below...ETA should be November 21 for you...Some where in that range...Check my information below...Feels good to finally be serialized...I am counting the days also...

I contacted my dealer and the advised me my build date is October 23rd and due around mid February. They still can't give me an exact date. I sent an email to ford inquiring why a customer ordered vehicle would take so long, this was their response...

I don't know where they got the idea I had ordered a GT500, I said in my email I ordered a California Special. I guess further proof that morons work at Ford.

Ford had a Love Spat with one of their Plastic Parts Suppliers. That may be part of the problem. I know the GT/CS Side Scoops are Next to Impossible to get at the Moment!

Someone at Ford pushed the wrong form letter button - not very professional, to say the least.

I'm sending you a PM.

I ordered my GT/CS Aug. 15th under FFP from Coastal in Burnaby, BC after 8 weeks which was just the other day I went in to get an update and was told don't expect it before Xmas. In fact he said the order was in, but not yet accepted by the factory so it would be 8 weeks after that occured. He said the problem was Cdn specialty cars such as the CS, Shelby GT500 and the $$$$GT are very limited and Cdn orders take alot longer than the standard 8 weeks in the US. It now looks like it will be in the new year before I see it and the spring before I get to drive it.

Have other CDN orders for the GT/CS come in quickly? and is the dealer jerking me around, or is this the truth?

GottaHaveIt

That's what I'm thinking when told the standard 8-10 weeks, but it may depend on what is being run through the platform at the time, one week say Fusion the next maybe Mustang something along that line, and let not forget Chistmas plant shut down as well ? If under four months like with the 05's I'll be suprised , but at that time Dec 04 Law suit / short on IUP parts / Chistmas closure.

It's santa Clause he was going to upgrade your order until you blew the whistle

GottaHaveIt

What ! Plastic you mean I'm buying a Tonka and not a Hot Wheel ? too

GottaHaveIt

If You order lugs let the dealer install them , why I say that as a freak of nature would have it they were rotating tires on my 05 GT and one lug had a hair line crack in it and the duffus was using an air gun with the key ( Always by Hand ) and it cracked, they said ah it will cost you $ to fix ah not you put them on to begin and it was fine before you touched it ! so if I had put them on I woulda had to pay !

My dealer just called me to say my car has been shipped today and will be here by the end of the week or next week. Kinda strange since they told me the build date was October 23rd and planned on having it arrive mid November. They must have allocated one destined to sit on a lot. Oh well can't complain, I'll be driving her soon.

GottaHaveIt

Hey I know a lot of the haulers as they are on the our Ferry Details I could toss out a question to them in return for one of my special favors,
(but the LOADS but slow on Ford my dealer has been calling and like ok we have an empty sort of lot where are the goods)
Your lucky though if there are to be ten steps you are at step 8 so that means arrival then SOLD date. wOOO Hoooo

tuco

That is good news, Chilliwack.

I got really lucky, i ordered mine a month ago and made a change, it was dropped and arrives the week of halloween. I am days away. Going nuts. I feel all your pain.

ljzippy

I hate this, I am now waiting too. Its drop date is Now Nov. 6 and Delivery date is the week of the 20th. or 27th. A Thanksgiving baby instead of a halloween one. I now feel your pain.

HOTLAP

That's just not right - I'd start looking around for one on a lot...waiting until the new year....what's that make your order window....FOUR 1/2 MONTHS
