Wow - still over a year's wait. I thought the wait would be getting shorter by now.

But I think it's still worth it.
Apparently they are "working to reduce the wait". I asked how, and they said they weren't privy to that information...

Our dealers should be our primary point of contact with Ford, salesman enhancing the purchasing experience, and getting us on-side for free positive word-of-mouth advertising. It ain't the case, though I note that does seem to change when your car arrives!

Many of us have, at times, been apologists and tolerant of Ford dealers, not knowing, and being kept in the dark, about all sort of issues. Every little crumb of information we glean (and this is usually not from the dealer but FordAU Facebook, FordService here, and especially other members of this forum) eases our frustration with them.

Maybe the dealers should get off their backsides and demand to be informed. Had a long chat with my salesman recently (my car should be here within a fortnight so now I love him), both of us lamenting the lack of information from FordAU. It was, however, the same conversation I had with them 13 months ago when I put down my money. :frusty:

I guess it's still the case that when the car finally arrives the grin takes over and all the waiting is forgotten!

I expect to lots of photos soon Davo!

Correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't today be the day your baby is conceived and delivery in three months when you get the keys for him from the dealership when you take delivery?

The whole process from now till you take delivery would be the birthing process would it not?

Will you give your car some kind of exotic name much like the celebs when they adopt a baby from say Africa or somewhere in Asia?

Thanks for writing to us. We can see that your Mustang is due to go into production early in August. At this stage, there is no VIN allocated, however, if you'd like to come back to us at the end of next week, we'd be happy to check again for you.
Thanks, FordService^SB
