Hi guys, With the wait times coming down now, I bit the bullet just after Xmas and ordered a GT Fastback Manual in Oxford White. I'm told I have an April 2017 build slot with delivery in (approx) July 2017. We'll see I guess. Still pretty excited at this stage.

Hi Ozhood welcome to our little group.
Wow that would be a very quick delivery! look forwards to meeting at a future gathering.
Cheers Danny

Lol another dealership lying to make a sale surely. I ordered 26th of May and still have no NSC, VIN or build date let alone a delivery date which I hope will be end of May or very early June.

I personally if I was you would take what your salesman said with a grain of salt as deliveries while they may have improved slightly haven't improved that dramatically. If you aim for 12 months that's a realistic goal.

Hi noboot,

You may well be right, and if so, theres not much I can do about it except wait, however its also possible Ford is catching up with their orders and so wait times are dropping.

I first enquired about a Mustang at Rebel Ford at Elizabeth in late Oct/early Nov and the salesman I spoke to told me the waiting was 12 to 15 months. He also told me that I couldn't test drive a car and I'd just have to order and wait and If I didn't like it I could just sell it for a profit. He took my details but I wasn't expecting anything. I think he thought I was just a tyre kicker.

In late Dec I got a call from him telling me "great new, the wait times have come down to 7 months, come and see him, blah blah"

As I was driving in to the city on a Friday night I passed by Stillwell Ford at Medinidie. They had an Oxford white one in the showroom, I went back the next day and it was parked outside the showroom. A salesperson came up to us as we looking at it and within about 2 minutes she offered us a test drive. I was pretty much sold at that point except it was an auto and I really wanted to try a manual. She explained that I was in luck because she would have a manual for me to test drive in the following week. I went back in after xmas and she gave me a manual to test drive and explained the the wait times had just come down to about seven months. So I ordered one then and there. I was still on the fence about an auto or manual though, so I went back the following week to drive an auto again. I took it for a good long drive and really worked the paddle shifters and decided I would stick with a manual. When I got back to the dealership I took an Ecoboost auto for a drive just for comparison(Great car by the way.. I was impressed)

Cant say enough good things about Stillwells, who let me test drive 4 different cars, although I had bought 3 cars from them in the past, so I guess I was an existing customer.

So that was 2 dealers who gave me similar wait times, and similar stories, so, who knows, maybe I'll get lucky.

Thanks Danny,

I look forward to catching up.

I did drop in to a Mustangs on the Move meet and cruise last night. There were a couple of S550's there, one Magnetic and on Ruby Red.

Cheers,

Richard

Noboot,

I ordered mine on 28/12/16 and got my NSC on 12/01/17 so, things seem to be moving along a bit. Maybe check your status directly with Ford Australia?

Let's hope they are both worth the wait.

Cheers,

Richard
