...and this REALLY makes me question the way they "say" they aren't pulling orders like they did in 2016. It's who you know - it's the big dealers getting the first allocations, just like last time. Waited almost 11 months for my R because my dealer isn't huge. I feel like the same thing is about to happen here.
FWIW my build date is the week of October 21st and I’m nobody famous ordering from a small, rural dealer in Minnesota. I have done a fair bit of bugging my dealer about things so maybe he and the regional manager are just tired of my shit.
Wow. Jaded much. I don’t know the guy nor never met him but calling him a low life is pretty strong. Appears to be a fellow Mustang lover family man to me.
Did he (Stangmode) swap with #1? If so, that explains it.
Also for what it's worth, I too am a nobody who ordered from a very small dealership in New Mexico with a build week of 10/14. I also ordered late, on 7/29.
Pretty much the same scenario here. I pestered my salesman to talk to the regional rep, he did and next thing I knew my car was pulled.
Agreed. Nothing wrong with being a YouTuber and monitoring your channel. Grinding is grinding. StangMode will do a great review of the car and he definitely brings a “real” feel to car reviewers. We don’t need another Doug or Matt.
No Stangmode jumped from 3 to 1, while 1 & 2 patiently wait for our VINs.
Maybe there aren't any huge dealers in the area? Don't know. What I do know is that the local giant had 3 GT350Rs delivered 7 months before mine was even built.
I’m in the mid part of nowhere USA. Smaller dealer and I got a 10/7 build date. So some orders must be random. I did get order in day 1 though.
Ninjak: Your logic is sound and I don't think the point can be argued, the corporation is always thinking about expenses and if they can get free advertising for simply changing the order of a few vehicle builds, they will do it every time.
