Amazing how some dealers either don’t know what they’re doing or just straight up lie.
I did reach out directly to Ford.com chat and they confirmed I was at a Priority 02. That being said, it clearly has not helped. My dealer also said they have an allocation of 22 more mustangs so they are sure mine will be scheduled this week. I have no confidence in them at this point as I seem to know more than they do. I was told that because 3,000 ford employees were laid off recently that many of them were "schedulers" and it is all automated now and they have no control over anything. It just seems like one of those stories that keeps changing and getting more ridiculous.
Sometimes it’s just a matter of speaking with the right person. I was in the business for many years and each dealer usually has only one or two managers that fully understand the ordering system. Most sales people don’t have a clue. They only know what they’ve been told. Many of the mega dealers will have whole depts devoted to ordering vehicles across many product lines. This forum along with the Blue Oval forum and the FP people are who we should be using for our information, unfortunately!
I orderred dark ceramic seats too... but my window sticker says the car has ebony seats. I wonder why..My mustang was shipped and delivered to my dealer same day 8/4, and I picked it up from the dealer 8/5. I ordered it on May 5 and drove it off the dealers lot August 5, exactly 3 months.
Apologies for the late posting of the photos, it's been raining here in Chicago the last few days. So not had the chance to take good photos outside. Instead, been installing various parts on the car. Most visible being the hood vent. Roush axle back exhaust is going on tomorrow.
Well, here is my Mustang GT premium in Carbonized gray with ceramic color seats.
I agree. I usually look for the sales people that have been with the dealership for a good amount of time. If they don’t have one, I go right to the sales managers. I refuse to deal with sales people that don’t have a clue. I guess I’m lucky I’ve got good relationships with 2 local Ford dealerships to the point where I only deal with the GM at one of them. My sales person that I bought my ‘22 from has been a Ford sales person for 20 years and mostly with the same dealership.
Congratulations! My kiddo came with me to pick up ours after my PPF and ceramic coating appointment. An incredible feeling. I hope he's as into cars someday as I am. Enjoy your ride!Here she is! Also one with my 13 year old who also has the car bug. Dealership left everything untouched outside and inside just as I requested. Also did NOT drill the front plate as requested. Beyond excited, such a fun car. Track mode is louder than I expected and sounds fantastic. Hopefully everyone that’s still waiting gets theirs soon. Also thanks to everyone that helped inform me of the process along the way and for all the kind words. I’ll still be around to provide words of encouragement and provide any helpful info that I can.
That’s awesome! Enjoy as well, gotta start them young!Congratulations! My kiddo came with me to pick up ours after my PPF and ceramic coating appointment. An incredible feeling. I hope he's as into cars someday as I am. Enjoy your ride!
That came out really great...really pops. Did you do a full or partial PPF?Congratulations! My kiddo came with me to pick up ours after my PPF and ceramic coating appointment. An incredible feeling. I hope he's as into cars someday as I am. Enjoy your ride!
I don't blame you; I'm fairly certain that I'll be sleeping in the garage the first night or two after mine is delivered!Thanks! I did a partial PPF. The whole front end is done, A pillars, partway up the roof, rockers, and the flares on the rear quarters. Everything else got paint correction and ceramic. Here's a shot outside. Ive been out to the garage several times just to take it all in too.
What is that? It looks terrifying
Not good. Gut feeling is that this will happen. :(
