And remember, it could be quite a few Thursdays before you get your VIN. Today is Thursday number 5 since I ordered and still no VIN, hoping to see an update by end of day. But as many of you know no Mustangs were scheduled last Thursday, hopefully thats not the case this week.

Priority: 10

Interesting idea. So pretty much a step by step from beginning to end using cotus and what all of the little things mean and how many days for each part, etc?
Glad I helped! :)
If you need, I have screen grabs from every stage (plus) through transit for my car. You're welcome to use them if you want. PM me and I'll put them all together in on locale for you.

Sounds like you need to talk to your dealer about allocation.

I haven't read through it, but mentioning allocation or the fact that your VIN won't get assigned until your order gets pulled which is based off your dealer's allocation and your priority #. (Or just reference back to it in the Buying Basics)

My GT was ordered 1-27-15. I ordered from GALPIN the largest dealer in the US.
Has of today still no vin on COTUS or calling customer relations. I just texted my salesman asking him what the order priority # was for my order. When I find out I will let you guys know.

I was reading that Ford was not scheduling for two weeks. This could be why no VIN yet.

I just found out my priority number is 10.
So I guess that is good.

I was just informed by Rachel at Ford that my priority number is been bumped up to 1 so hopefully something will happen this Thursday when they resume Mustang production.

I was just informed by Rachel at Ford that my priority # is now #1, instead of #10. So it looks like my dealer is trying to speed things up. She said I may get a Vin # this Thursday, fingers crossed.

Was it determined that Ford halted production? We knew they were holding cars, but that is quite different than stopping the production line. If that was not just a mis-speak.... Lucy, 'esplain yourself. :lol:

Hi Guys!

First time poster!

I was curious as to what the difference is between www.cotus.ford.com and wwwqa.cotus.ford.com. The www.cotus.ford.com is telling me that it is currently awaiting shipment with no EDD (part of the 2/2 build week unfortunately) but wwwqa.cotus.ford.com is telling me that it is delivered.

Any input on this matter would be greatly appreciated!
