Good reference and thanks for including all the dates. Were you notified of this automatically or did you have to chase?

I did the chasing. Funnily enough my dealer gave me my VIN way back at the end of the summer. I then chased Karen with a couple of emails and got responses on uplift, gate release, train to port etc. She said she was pushing mine along (not literally) because it was being quite slow.

I have since emailed: [email protected] (Stacey Powell). Stacey is good at responding quickly, although I only emailed twice to be told that I was booked on a vessel (Glorious Leader). I tracked the boat and could see that it was currently on the wrong side of the pond so had an idea that it would be a week or two. Then on 7th Jan my VIN resulted in the results posted above on the cargo tracker, roughly two weeks prior to sailing. Hope this helps.

Yep, I had tried this for a long time and then one day it worked. The date tallied with the 'booked' date of 7th Jan. In the image above I have scrubbed the latter part of my VIN, that's maybe not clear.

Having checked ETIS/Window Sticker sites for months (now working), my daily check is now WWL!

No joy so far, so seems like the car is with upfitters or waiting gate release.

Mines now all three.

Funny story, I called my dealer today, and asked him for an update on my car, he said 'It wasn't built and he's heard nothing about it', So I said 'Go onto your system and track the following VIN' Gave him my vin, and well, that's how you make a salesman squirm. Needless to say i'm sure he was bright red on the other end of the phone. Sorry bro, had to do it to you :lol::lol:

To give Ford a bit of credit, I got an unprompted email today from Stacey saying that my car was on its way to the docks, and should be allocated to a vessel in the next couple of weeks.

Great to get a useful update, plus it finally feels like the car is getting closer to being at sea!

Can't recommend anyone highly enough towards the work Stacey, Karen and Andy are doing, dealerships however, there are very few and far between, personally believe dealers should be doing what the dealers on this forum do (J-rowe being one), and in between meetings and sales, interacting with customers and clients, and the fans of specific cars and learning about them, rather than stood in closed circle groups huddled up gossiping.

Yeah, some dealers have some very questionable motives, I don't understand the whole 'we will all huddle round together and talk and u come to us' agenda they all seem to have, Like come on now, are you that socially inept to just say 'Hey, lovely car, what do you think about it' equally if they are going to stand around and not approach, closed circles never work, it's just shutting people out. Training needed me thinks ;). Granted you get bad eggs everywhere re your point Iron.

Some dealers are absolutely useless, I've messaged Desmonds about 10 times regarding a test drive and I still haven't got one. Obviously they have better things to do as they already have my money.

Hi yes karen gave the wrong date but after checking my vin on here www.2wglobal.com it showed the 25 Jan maybe this boat is for the V8s hence its quicker ! I'm just saying ;)

Dealers - or rather salesmen - are only interested in their wages. End of. The most shortsighted individuals on the planet, bar none.
