Long delay, Quick turn around
My order process was a hell ride too. I ordered the car in July and, since the order wasn't actually placed with Ford yet, I kept changing the add-ons I wanted. I asked repeatedly if any of these changes were going to alter my place in line and was assured they wouldn't. I found out later that it did.
addle:
When it FINALLY went into production on 11/17 I was given a EDD of 01/15/15! WTF!!!!! :shocked:
I went into panic mode because my current lease needed to be returned 11/27/14 - and that was with an extension. I called the GM at my dealership and got him on it. Great guy, very responsive and got things moving more in my favor. The best thing I ever did was go to the largest Ford dealership in the world (yes, literally, they are the number one dealership worldwide) so they had some influence at Ford and got my car on the first train out of town right after it was built. :clap2:
My car was built on 11/24, was Awaiting Shipment on the 24th and was In Transit on the 24th. That changed my EDD from 01/15/15 to 12/10/14! I just checked cotusb a minute ago and got a new update on EDD - 12/09! Another day sooner.
It's been five roller coaster months but the end is in sight. I'm now tracking the car on its rail car across the U.S. So far it's made it to Indiana.
I'll post pics when it arrives. CAN'T WAIT!!
