Ordered but ??
So I placed the order for my Boss on Dec. 20. Called the dealer today for an update and they stated the order has not been picked yet by Ford. He says they have a January allocation.
How long does it usually take, should I be worried? Not that I don't trust my dealer, but... Thanks for the help! |
From the sounds of it... He's probably putting your order in a bag with like 10-15 others to submit. Rather than just doing 1 at a time. :dunno:
|
Did you get a DORA? That will give you confirmation, the order is in. Once you do, check the priority number near the top right of the page. We'll be able to tell you if the dealer is playing with you or not.
Mine was ordered on Dec. 9th with the dealer's best priority number. No vin for me yet, which suits me just fine right now. |
Dealers started submitting orders around November 19th. My order was submitted a few days after that and I still don't have my VIN. Hopefully mine gets serialized soon. I've seen VIN's and schedule weeks for the first four weeks of production and they are already into the first week of February. I have no idea how they prioritize orders but my guess is if it hasn't been ordered yet you are at least into February production. Good luck.

My order went in November, I have the confirmation, but I do not even have a build quarter at this point.
|
My order was submitted on 12/01/2010 with a Priority 10. That's the lowest number (highest priority) a dealer can give an order. I received a VIN and build date from the dealer on 12/17/2010 (not sure when they got that from Ford but presumably around that time). It had been moved to a Priority 01 by the zone rep which meant it was the highest priority build for my dealer. Apparently the zone rep has to intervene on all the Boss builds to get them scheduled and moves them to a Priority 01 status. I don't work for Ford or a dealer, this is just what I've been told by others.
It sounds like it's in the zone reps hands to get you scheduled. Now that said, the first quarter production presumably runs through March and everything I've seen reported so far has been from January 17th to as late as February 5th so there's almost two months of production NOT SCHEDULED. You probably shouldn't get too worried if you don't have a VIN yet. |
My order was submitted on Nov. 24th with a priority 10 and no VIN yet. Hopefully I'll have it within the next two weeks.
|
I am very anxious to see pics of the Q1 build cars...and dyno numbers!
|
Cobrasteve are you from SWMO?
|
I'd say you wouldn't see that car a least 6 months.
|
Just curious what the VIN's are for the first Boss builds. I'm scheduled week of 31 Jan with last four of the VIN as 2933. Anyone else that has a build date wish to share their last four VIN num's? Fortunately, live in the Houston area so weather should not be a problem hitting the road quickly.
|
Thanks everybody, I feel a little better now. I was starting to get the feeling I was the only 1st quarter build w/o a VIN. I'm in no hurry as the weather won't break until mid-April anyways.

Any idea how or when the BOSS serial / vehicle numbers are assigned (for the tag on top of the intake manifold)?

My VIN is 2683 and scheduled for 1/31 build. Priority code on my order confirmation sheet was 10; priority code on my build sheet is 19. I'm not sure whether a 19 priority code is good.

My VIN is 0331, scheduled for build week of 1/18. Current DORA shows it was submitted to plant, and the Zone Rep bumped priority to 01.

You have a build sheet? I don't believe that I've heard of or seen one of those. It says something other than "Dealer Order Receipt Acknowledgement" for the heading? Could you post a copy? (redacted as desired)
|
That's not a DORA. Across the top of a DORA it states "Dealer Order Receipt Acknowledgment". A "build sheet" in the old days was a printout that accompanied the vehicle down the assembly line that told the assembly line workers what options to put on the car. Often once you got the car home you could find build sheets under the rear seats (or other places).
What you have there is from "Track A Vehicle" from the dealers vehicle visibility system. Perhaps one of our members here who work at a dealer can shed additional light on this. I don't know how authoritative this system is for vehicle confirmation, but I would think that its OK. |
I think it is also different from CONCEPS, the ordering system.
|
That's a printout from Vehicle Visibility. It's not a build sheet, that's something different.
|
Thanks for the clarification. Does anybody know the significance of the priority number 19 on the track a vehicle sheet?

Mine will be a Q3 build date. When should I start bugging my dealer for VIN, etc? June?
Thanks |
I am also a Q3 build!! Congrats!!
Your dealer won't be able to see scheduling until a district rep does it sometime before/or during the quarter. The Boss is manually scheduled at the plant vs. regular Mustangs IIRC |
