When is the first delivery to Oz?

Its really annoying. The last time I asked Ford and my dealer, which was a few weeks ago if they have my Vin, I get the same response which is "We can't provide a vin until the vehicle is in the country"

I receieved that response from Ford Australia quite a few times, I gave up hope then got a phone call advising my VIN. Go figure

My VIN is also now on PARSIFAL ... ETA Melbourne 2 December, then it has to get to Perth. Not sure why they wouldn't just leave it onboard and take it off in Perth. But then this is Ford we are talking about. No common sense prevails at that organisation !! The logic is clearly above my pay grade LOL

In that case they'd probably train to Perth??? wtf?

Perhaps there is some kind of Oz specific upfitting that they may have to do and they want to do it all together over east?

That's the only reason I can think of.

That is total BS you need to pushback and let them know everyone else has VIN's provide before build date. <sigh> I had my VIN from my dealer as soon as it was up in VISTA well before build date. My DP is very supportive !!! Great guy.

Now this is service. My dealer emailed me an updated VISTA screenshot first thing this morning to show a revised ETA of 5 December which had updated overnight from 12 December.

looking at the list - a couple of things to note:

The Port of discharge is Auckland for the NZ ones and Melbourne for the Australian ones. This may be due to additional checking and compliance needed to be done by Ford.

If this is the case it will add a couple of weeks to the delivery.

There are currently 150 cars. I believe (and hope) that there will be a 2nd lot transported to the port before the ship leaves.
This is based on my car not being listed - but it was built at the same period as these ones.

Interesting comments Aussie Mate.

I too am assuming (well hoping!) that more Aus cars will end up on the ship as mine currently isn't listed and I got confirmation from Deysha overnight that its been at the port since the 6th of Oct.

Hopefully the turn around time from being discharged in Melbourne to being delivered by the dealers isn't too long.

Finally feels like there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
