I don't think [MENTION=7992]FordService[/MENTION] is active here any longer. That's unfortunate. Last login was 2/16/2017.

Hello,

I need some help to find some online European seller of Mustang parts like Brembo brakes, brakes pads etc.

Will be the best if i can put on that site my Mustang VIN to be sure that parts match on my car.

And i found this and i want to know if it is true what is say here : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Rear-...61727029:g:dw8AAOSw4CFY79cV&vxp=mtr#vi-ilComp

8 Brake pads + 4 Rotors only 220 $ ?!
It is first time when i try to order something like this for my car and i prefer to order from Europe not USA.

Thanks !

I haven't received a DORA and only just one order number, which is making me wonder if my order was rejected in the end. All I have gotten is these messages.

Just wanted to expand on this:

"Can I get an X Plan? Yes. Easiest way to get an X Plan would be by becoming a member of the MCA (Mustang Club of America). An in depth explanation of the X Plan and how to get one can be found HERE"

If you are a disabled vet and belong to DAV, you can get X plan pricing and not have to worry about the 60 day period from MCA.

I finally got my window sticker and it shows that the delivery method will be convoy from Flat Rock, MI to Statesboro, GA. Is there anyone who could give me an estimate of how long that process could take?

Not sure where you got the order number, but the 'A' shouldn't be part of it when entering into COTUS - only digits. If it's a three-digit number, put a '0' before the first three digits.

I gave the dealer a $1,000 Deposit Saturday, 8/18 and they gave me a printed copy of an "Order Preview" which show the costs but not the order number or dealer code. They said they will not have the order number until after the factory converts from 2017 to 2018 production. Does this sound like I am getting good info from them?

Jim that is semi normal, I also wouldn't neccesarrily read anything into it. Some dealers' orders are processed quicker than others. What I would do is call weekly, I chose Wednesday for my own order, ask for updates from the salesman or sales manager. A little pressure and or concern shows them you are anxious to get your ride. It actually helped mine get shipped special as they got it 2 weeks quicker to the dealership. Don't worry about being a PITA, as you are the customer, and are paying for service on a nice car, perhaps a high end car.

as for the dealer or order number ask for it on your first check in and keep at them until you get them so you can use cotus. It isnt allways super accurate but you will eventually get a blend date and VIN#

Has anyone got a priority Code of 80 on their VOC on a Factory order car? New to this whole process so I am trying to understand these numbers better. I see OP states "store inventory cars will be given a 20-89 number" but my car is not store inventory...

Does your VOC say retail or stock order? Sometimes dealers enter them as stock orders. My second order like your PP2 is retail priority code 10.

Order appears to be listed as Stock. Do I need to get on the phone with them and have that changed?

It doesn't really matter if it's stock of retail.

Just wondering if the priority of 80 can cause my order to take longer.

Priority code only matters among the orders from the same dealership, i.e. if your dealership never assigns 20-79 to stock orders, your 80 is as good as 20.
