Correct. If that was my order, I'd want to know the reasons for holding the vehicle that long or I am out. I'd prefer to get one of the cars which go through extensive QC despite the higher mileage, but five weeks without an explanation is a red flag for me.
Yeah it's a definite red flag to me. And even more so since the verts being shipped have all been produced in December as near as I can tell. I believe I saw one in transit that was built just last week and mine still sits well over a month later???
Exactly! I`m still all in on getting my S550 Mustang Convertible (eventually) but I must say, this has been a absolutely screwed up Special Retail Order. So much for transparency for a 4 decade Ford X-Plan buyer. I`m getting my Dealers GM to contact our local Ford Regional Area Rep and put in a Urgent Re-Order Priority "1" and we will try it one more time. Of all the dozens of previous Special Orders, this has been without a doubt the absolute worst experience.Ordered 9/2 and now COTUS shows built 11/25 and over 4 weeks later, poof! Much like the Malaysian Airliner that disappeared from the sky and dropped into the Pacific, the mystery continues.
My problem is that despite the fact I want a 2015 Mustang Base V6 Convertible with A/T, finding one in Race Red should`t be too much of a problem since they all come with the same boring Black Cloth Interior with Black Fabric Top. My problem is I want the optional Spare Tires as well as the upgraded 051A Package too. Still possible, huh? Oh, I forgot to add, I require "Spoiler Delete" too. Attempting to find that particular configuration will be near impossible. Special Order it must be. Curious, I wonder how many other (early build) Convertibles also fell into Ford`s Black Hole of Mystery? Must be Top Secret. Regardless, I don`t want mine now. I`ll await the next one.
Wow, great news. I am excited to hear about a November build being on the way!
My Dealership informed me today that (many) Convertibles, early Builds in Mid to Late Nov have experienced the same mysterious hold. Later built Units are not being held and are being released for shipment immediately. Nearly all early and mid Dec Convertibles are being released frequently for transport the same day they are built! Guess the logic of first built, first shipped only works when there are no issues and QC doesn`t put a Stop Order on Vehicles built between certain dates. Suppose its better to have the Factory attempt to correct a production defect at the Plant then to rely on a local Dealership to have the expertise to perform the fix right. Personally, I`d rather have a later built Unit that wasn`t retrofitted or "fixed".
Was perusing through local dealer inventory and saw these guys...not exactly what you wanted but close! Spoiler delete seems to be the tough find....1st one due at the dealer on 12/31!
