Very lone

I ordered on 12/15, and just got notice last week that it is on COTUS with a VIN and an expected delivery date 3/20.we’ll see how that changes between now and then. Good news is order banks for the Bullitt open 3/12, so I can decide whether to switch or keep the original once we see what markups are going to be on the Bullitt.

So many variables. One big chunk of time is probably transit from factory to dealer which is probably fairly consistent for dealers in or near a city. Dealer Should be able to tell you what that is.

But aside from that, you can have delays before its built. Dealers prioritize their own orders; so try to insist on the highest priority for your order. Dealers don't all get the same preference in build order based on things like allocations. Parts or even paint can have holds due to sourcing problems. In the past at least, things like stripes were put on at another location than the factory, that adds time. Some vehicles are randomly selected for special tests.

My experience is dealers will not be up on some of those things and unreliable for informing you.

8-12 weeks is the official claim by Ford Dealerships. Usually closer to 8-10.

I ordered car on 1/6/18 with a dealer whose owner is a friend of mine. I got a VIN within a week and Cotus is telling car is in production and delivery is estimated in the 16 days. All told for me maybe 5 weeks that is much faster than expected

Seems like it's mostly dependent on if you find someone through connections and if you find a dealer with an available allocation. If you don't, it looks like 3+ months is the wait time.

Most are nearing delivery off the second order wave.

I waited a little over 5 months from when I originally ordered my car till I took delivery. But I ordered it before they were building them. But I think people usually wait 3ish months now that they started to build them.

I got my window sticker :). Does Special order mean anything? I ordered car on 1/6/18 and estimTed delivery is in less that two weeks. Seems pretty fast

Means not ordered for inventory but for a specific customer.

It also means the MSRP won't include any price increases by Ford before it gets built.

And the dealer can get you the better of dollar incentives at time of order or time you take delivery; in the past they had to take action up front to get that but incentives don't typically go down so more a peace of mind thing.

May be other things.

Mine was ordered 11/30. Went into production 1/24 and has been waiting for transit ever since. My EDD was deleted on 2/7 when it was due to be delivered and hasn't been updated since... The 2 week shut down starting 1/26 must have inserted some cars ahead of mine for delivery. Dealer thinks I'll get it this month. Hopefully...

I was told 3-10 weeks. The dealer didn't want to nail down a date but that was the ranges they see.

What I don't get is how it takes so long. You'd think they would want special orders out the door to minimize the chances that someone "changed their mind". Hopefully Ford cranks the line up to get the dealers stocked for spring and summer.
