Mustang Migration to Oz

Gibbo said:

Three weeks since build and still not on a boat. But the interesting thing is I was having a little sook to my mate from the Ford dealership yesterday and he calls me a few hours later and says the Boss is cool if I want to change my order....

1. Cancel and get a full refund of my deposit. Walk away.
2. Wait 7 -10 weeks for my car - no change
3. Move my deposit to a 2018 model, but wait around 10 months.

From this I'm assuming they must already have other buyers lined up for 2017 shape GT Lightning Blue auto's ..... possibly even prepared to pay a bit extra.

Its not uncommon. Mine sat for a month before being moved to the docks, and sat another month before being put on a ship. Patience is a virtue

Yeah, I understand. Of note, my mates convertible Dealer ordered March, built first week of May is currently docked in NZ and should be here next week. I just figured with the ramp up of the RHD spec production it would start raining Mustangs! :clap2:

It's usually 4-6 weeks from build to a boat mate. Trust me the wait is worth it :ford:

Where is yours now? Mine went "in transit" on cotus 8th of June, but etis doesn't look like it's settled yet.

Really sympathise with you guys going through all this. Not sure I coulda done it. Wanted something specific - see avatar - kept checking the spreadsheet here. Figured initial demand would be soon sated.
Waited until "my car" appeared "in stock" on Carsales.
Convinced the dealer to put black wheels on someone else's car for my Nickel Lustre Alloys.
Kicked him hard in the guts. Really hard.

Got car maybe 9 months earlier and over six grand discount.

When you first see sun glistening on lightning Blue you know it's all worth it. Blink and changes hue as sun rises.

I've got a Boat!! On the Tonsberg departing next Wednesday 28th June!!

Same.

Just checked & my GT's on the Tonsberg as well.

Built on 25th May, departing Baltimore on 28th June.

Mine is on Tamesis be here end of July )

Got the VIN for my "second" Mustang today. They'll have built 69921 Mustangs between the original order and this one. Hope practice makes perfect.

^^ Surprised you didnt shop around for dealer stock, that way before signing anything you can check it out with whatever your issues were with the first.

I got mine 2 weeks ago after waiting 4 days, only because it was on show at a shopping center and they could only get it out Monday mornings.

There's not much actually in stock in manuals and none at the time in the colour I wanted. Could've had an auto GT or a manual EB in the right colour but didn't want either of those. Actually hadn't planned to buy it at that time. After rejecting the first one I'd had a look around and couldn't find anyone in Sydney with stock of what I wanted. Needed a car as I'd sold my other one expecting to pick up the Mustang so was at this dealer the same afternoon buying a Ranger they had in stock and just happened they already had the right colour Mustang ordered for stock. Got a better deal than my first time around anyway and a few months doesn't matter to me.

Is this thread dead or what?? Can someone post an updated migration table??
