Update: The Ford dealer finally found the issue. It was a problem with the wire harness. Meanwhile, I picked up an identical specified car new minus the harness issue. One thing that I learned from this is that life is better with a GT350R in the garage.

Well....It will be three weeks on Monday and they have no idea what the issue is. The good news is that I received a call from Ford Regional Customer Service Manager, who was very helpful, as well as a Fed Ex letter last night telling of my upcoming buyback offer from RAV. That was...

"Ford engineering" is whom allegedly made the call for the new head. I'm supposed to get pictures and explanation after they figure out what went wrong. It just doesn't make sense. "If all goes well" I get to pick the car up by EOD Tuesday. It's hard to be optimistic if they still don't know...

BTW..."this is the first GT350 we've had to work on". Just what I wanted to hear. :)

Yes. I was told a mile away. My service guy said he would drive it and take good care of it. I do not think he did anything improper. I'm thinking bad luck but...yeah...how would you like to be that guy?

I dropped my car off on Monday to have a stripe replaced. While they were driving my 400 mile perfectly broke-in motor, my Ford Pass on my phone let me know I had a misfire code. I called and they said she's running perfectly but noticed the check engine light. They diagnosed and replaced an...

Thank you. I drive up with the family tomorrow and am very excited indeed about the drive back. I appreciate the heads up on these events and will set out to sell my wife on the ideas. I look forward to running into you at one.

by the way, I also got a call from some nice gentlemen up in Walnut Creek, Ca. Jaime and Kerry. They just had an R arrive. I bet they would be reasonable if anyone else is hunting.

What a great story. You sir, are an enthusiast! Congratulations! I think good things are in store for those waiting. I just made a deal yesterday and the car showed up today in Hollister, CA. It was an April build lost in the mess. It is the exact same spec the I ordered and was "balanced...

I'm hoping so. My lead just evaporated when the sales manager got involved - "negotiable $15k ADM" he says. I'm glad the '20's are getting closer and the pricing is now out for the GT500. The delay in shipping '19's may help me out as attention on them fades a bit.

Thank you Jesse. Guys like Harry make the world a better place. I happily accept his gracious offer of assistance. This is my first experience of this type - attempting to buy a specialty vehicle. It's not for sissies. Having a seasoned pro to help is comforting. I'll go to/from AZ for one...

This is why I have faith in human kind. I do appreciate your thoughts and consideration. Funny thing....that nice dealer felt so bad that he offered to let me in on the bidding of one of his GT500 allocations - "currently with multiple people at 10-15kADM". He also located me "other MY19...

I pinned them down twice after order regarding the "R" allocation and was told it was "confirmed by the Ford rep". It would have to be a near-conspiracy at the dealer as I spoke with multiple people including the owner - whom I spoke face to face with - my wife present. I never got the feeling...

I wish Ford cared enough to clear that up.

Yes, I did. Within a week or so if i recall. It allowed me the dealer code and order number so i could make a call once per week to FP to check up on it and get the same answer ever time..."on hold still". I was starting to look forward to Mondays....

I wouldn't be in sales if I gave up easy. :) I'm already working at finding another. I worked for a year to get that first, although useless, MSRP deal so it will be very difficult for me to throw money at my lack of patience. I do understand the value of time but I also "appreciate"...

Not long. As a sales-professional, it's hard to find the words at the moment. Silence....a moment of silence seems in order.

The VIN was the first prize i was waiting for. it never came.

Well, the moment I have been dreading has arrived. I was informed today by my dealer that 2019MY has been "balanced out for all markets". I was sent a copy of my order with that "alert" on it. Ford has had the order in their system since early March and allegedly assured my dealer we had a...
