I don't know guys (350Mike, passmog), I hope you aren't but it looks like our build week is cursed. I tried calling Ford Customer Service and they said they had less access to updates than the Dealer. The Ford Regional Rep said he would try to get my car fixed sooner, but still wouldn't provide an ETD.

I was told Monday or Tuesday on Friday. Ford customer service this morning said its scheduled to deliver tomorrow. I'm pretty sure since I haven't been told, that it's not being held for any issue. It take a long time for cars to get through Benicia. It's a large port for autos inbound outbound to other countries, not just domestic rail. After tomorrow I'm going to have questions though.

I just heard from my dealer and he contacted the zone rep. My car is definitely not in production but hasn't left the plant. EDD is still the same but it's not going to be here by 10/15. He said that when cars are held at the plant usually it's to correct an issue before releasing it for shipping. I'm fine with that, in my case Ford has to deliver by 11/17 as per the Lemon Law case.

Hi All,
Just joined the forum, its a great place to get all sort of info the stang's.
I'm almost on the verge of closing a deal on a 2016 Ecoboost premium Guard with a sale price of $26299 (MSRP 31590) and OTD of $28294. I was getting the Ford Retail customer rebate $500, dealer discount of around $4200 and Student rebate of $500. Do you guys think its a fair deal for me to proceed or shall I shop around and try to get a better one.
Thanks

Thanks Jeanne, I think I will go ahead with it.
It's an 08/15 Manufactured, one of the first production batches of 16's. Any specific things that I need to look into while checking it out before shaking hands with the dealer. Its an Auto tranny.

I second that, seems like a good deal. Few things to check would be panel issues, make sure everything lines up nice with little/even gaps. Check that the trunk closes easily (few people here had issues) Even check the AM radio! (other post it didn't work) Other people had issues with the light above the rear exhaust coming off a bit.
I made up a quick excel spreadsheet with all the areas that I want to check. I want to make sure that I didn't miss anything during the excitement of picking it up. I also explained to my dealer that I'll need time by myself to check it out without him over me.
You may want to consider asking them not to put dealer stickers or badges on it, also decide if you want a front plate holder drilled into the bumper (if your state requires it) I opted to go with the sto n sho plate holder.
Overall though, good luck and enjoy it, make sure it is a happy time.

Hi Brendan, thanks for the info, can you share the spreadsheet, it would greatly help.
Guys it was super quick, I made a deal with the dealer, will pick it up tomorrow. Super excited! The slowest 24 hrs has started and I'm sure will be having a sleepless night today pouring over all the threads on this forum. This is my 1st new car purchase in the United States, anything I should watch out for during the paper work and while taking the delivery?

Hi Ozzmosis,
Looks like you are located in Fort Worth, I am picking up the car from David McDavid Ford Fort Worth. Had a horrible time with the sales reps who never keep their words, but in the end it was a deal ;)

I am west of Fort Worth, I am not going through McDavid. I am using Autonation, I am refraining to pass judgement until after I take delivery.
What happened with McDavid?
