How many have ordered and still waiting?

[Rogue]

I'm cancelling both my orders.

The 2017's are way better. Just by colors and the fact that track pack is standard (albeit higher MSRP most likely)

The 2017 is the same car as the 2016 GT350 Track Pack - "Way better" :lol:

Asinine.

Actually, the 2017 isn't the same car as the 2016 Track Pack, according to the documents that have been leaked so far and are causing all the angst. There is no mention of the Integrated Driver Control System (IDC) or the Heavy-Duty Front Springs - or the narrower "Economy Performance" wheel-and-tire package that will be standard. :eyebulge:

Ford moved back my scheduled build week of 02/22/16.

So as of the February 17th update:

In Production - Sent to Plant - Flat Rock Assembly Plant, MI - ETA Start Date Mar-08-2016 - ETA End Date Mar-14-2016

If its already been sent to the plant, it should be finished next week

The ETA date is the estimated time to deliver to the dealer, since you are in Michigan it will likely go via convoy which is pretty quick once its released for shipping.

Well, I abandoned my order today. I asked to be first in line for 2017 orders once the details are available. Between the heat issues, improved 2017 config choices and lack of movement on my order, there just didn't seem to be a good reason to keep sitting on a 2016 allocation any more.

I'm with you. I emailed my dealer today and asked if I could pass on the 2016 I ordered and put my deposit toward a 2017. I ordered mine 9/18/15 and it has not moved in Ford's system. Still no VIN, nothing. Meanwhile the number of cars sitting on dealer lots continues to grow. On cargurus.com the number has grown to 333 as of today. Some have been sitting for months. I think the oldest one was 159 days. Just doesn't make sense. It seems Ford cares more about their dealers than the end customers.

If you call on those you'll find the majority are sold.

BINGO! Someone just last week on Rennlist tried to say that the GT350 was not selling because there over 300 or so on autotrader. SOLD! or ADM at 20k over.

Not from my experience. I've called about a dozen trying to get an MSRP deal, and ONE was sold. There are three cars within 50 miles of me that have been on the showroom floor for over a month. I've looked at them in person. Dealers want ADMs. There are a lot of these cars around, dealers just want too much money. Again, that's what I'm seeing. Guess if you're on the west coast or something maybe it's different. BTW the number of cars on cargurus.com is growing steadily. From 3 or 4 back in Sept of 2015 to 334 today.

Received a call from Serramonte Ford (San Francisco) that the car I ordered back in August, 2015, finally is being built and wanted to know if I was still interested (I cancelled my order in November) and they still wanted 10K ADM. Told him I had already purchased a car last year for less and would pass. Obviously, the allocation they claimed last year was not valid and only now, these orders are being filled.

Just because it's getting pulled now doesn't mean the allocation wasn't valid. It just means the allocation has been pulled. It's possible that it was an additional allocation but saying they didn't have one in the first place is a bit of leap.

I think a lot of them are sold as well but even if they aren't. 300+ cars...so 10% of what's been built (I'm just throwing this number out there, I know it's not accurate for delivered cars at this point but it will be eventually ). So if 2000+ have already been delivered...eventually 300 people are going to simply want one and not need to wait. They will sell and likely with some kind of ADM, if the dealer sits on them.

Now, the flip side is. Dealers get calls all day long on these cars. They treat people differently if they walk in, ready to buy. I think a lot of these cars at $5k and even $10k ADM would sell for MSRP if you were there in person.

I think that applies only if the dealer has had the car for a while during which he has been waiting on the highest bidder to arrive. There comes a point when the dealer needs to take what he can get (MSRP still nets several thousand dollars profit), but I can tell you from my experience, if they are asking ADM, they will ALL tell you about the astronomical offers they've had on the car, but they'll sell it to you today for just $X,000 over...just because you're you. ;)

And back to the OP topic: I am still waiting. I am in the last stages of it, and it is by far the most excruciating part of the wait. My car is somewhere within 150 miles of me right now, as of Thursday on schedule to be delivered to the rail yard yesterday. However, all my tracking sources (including Ford Performance, which was closed yesterday afternoon for some reason) are AWOL at this point, and my dealer is still quoting me an ETA of 3/4 that hasn't been accurate in over two weeks.

I don't know if the car made it to the rail yard, I don't know if it has been picked up by a transport, and I don't know when it's going to be delivered to the dealer. I could very well get a call this afternoon, or it may be the middle of next month. Just know that for all of you waiting, it doesn't get any better as the time gets closer...it gets WORSE!

True. Still, there's a percentage of them that would have no problem dropping the price for a NOW deal. Might not completely eliminate ADM but still better.

Personally as a sales manager, if you called and offered $5k over I'd probably tell you it can't happen, and try and bring you in to pay the full adm.

If you walked in and showed initiative and we could count on selling a car that day - you'd have a much better chance.
