My parents are still waiting and the dealership hasn't given us a quarter build.....ford customer service said its still in material hold..I want to get the quarter build!!

 

Welcome to the club. I've got a second quarter car with no scheduled production date yet. Hell, we still have 1Q cars waiting for VINs.

Be patient and get comfortable.

 

You should at least be able to get what quarter the car is scheduled for from the dealer. Have them call their zone rep and find out that information

 

That would be me!

 

Heck, I still have 1st quarter car that was built and ready to be shipped on February 23rd, and the car still sits at the plant waiting to be delivered!

 

i have this feeling that there are a lot of folks out there that think they have ordered a boss and the dealer didn't have any allocations hence several posts i have seen here and other places where they don't eve know an allotment quarter. I personally explained how the process for allocation works to four dealerships on my hunt that swore to me they could order me a car and you needed no allocation. the dealerships that know what they are doing know what quarter the cars are due, you cant have an allocation and not know when it is being built to my understanding. being told you have allocation comes with the quarter build details. some one correct me if i am wrong there.

 

Somewhat. For some reason my dealer had a lot of trouble getting this info. Not sure if he was just being lazy or really couldn't get it. I had to call FCS and escalate a claim. Which resulted in a call back from the zone rep with assurances that they have a 2nd Q allocation and due to be built in April, barring any production holds. It was very frustrating from Jan to march when everyone had build dates and Q allocations and I didn't. I pm'd Deysha yesterday and am waiting for a response. Hopefully I will hear some good news!

 

Orderd Boss in Dec. Got build date of 2-4-11, Got vin#202587 Car built 2-18-11 Dealer receives MSO. Looking for Delivery in a couple of wks. Sales manger so sure it would be here by 4-1-11 he reported it sold to make march Nos. look good for the month. Still no Boss. don't know where it is at. Think when it gets here I will tag it LOST BOSS. Maybe Deysha will see this and find out something.

 

You can have an allocation and not know when it is being built. It isn't the dealers fault either. My understanding of how the system works is that the zone rep knows the allocation details and passes that along to the dealers in his/her zone. So if the zone rep doesn't convey the message correctly, or not with all of the details, then the dealer may be saying "well we have an allocation so I can order you this car" while not actually knowing their build quarter. On the flip side there are also dealers who think they can order this car allocation or not...and they truly don't get it, but think they do for sure.

 

im waiting for the offiical notice from ford that the Q build dates are "estimates" lol

all i know is if my Q4 goes on as long as these other cars im not sure i can make it

 

If it goes on to long, you' ll have the option to wait a little longer and get a 13

 

well the dealer we went through has two coming a LS and ours, ford customer service has acknowledged the order but no one seems to know what quarter!

 

I know the frustration. I only found out mine was a 2nd Q in the last week of march

 

Mine was built 3/16 and shipped 3/23, should be here next week!

 

what color and options did you get. it seems most of them are going to be just line mine CO with R/T options

 

I didn't know what quarter mine was until I got a VIN. Yeah, it was a frustrating time, but I had a lot of trust in my dealership when they told me not to worry.

 

Mine is CO with the R/T options.
Just like yours, but may be the only CO in Alaska.

 

What are most people getting on their boss. I'm pretty sure most aren't ordered stripped down.

 

these cars are pretty stripped comapred to a premium gt or gt500. no options but recaro seats and torsen or the matts and cover package. they ahve single cd radio, power windows, and AC. the big feature is the car load of awesome it comes with.

 

Yellow Blaze with recaros and torsen
