2016 Mustang Orders Placed Thread (Vote/Share Here)

[ElAviator72]

This is going to be very interesting.
I placed an order on 1/29 and the dealer indicated that they thought I would see it mid to late April. I started questioning the dealer last week because, to date, no VIN has even been assigned to the order. They informed me that I had one of two allocations. Yesterday I asked to for a copy of the DORA so that I could see what “PRIORITY” number was assigned. When I received the copy, I noticed that there was no “PRIORITY” field on the DORA. Contacted them again and they admitted that they were just given two allocations last week just before I called. If the order bank was closed the 1st week of March, will they still process my order? Inquiring minds want to know. :shrug:

A dealer allocation should be safe. The reason the "PRIORITY" field was blank is because a dealer allocation is technically the dealer ordering a car for themselves for sales lot inventory...

Thanks ElAviator72!

You make me feel somewhat hopeful that a VIN will appear shortly.

I had asked about the "PRIORITY" number due to the line in the Mustang Buying Guide + COTUS Guide thread that reads as follows:

What’s a priority number? When you do a custom order from Ford each order is given a priority number. The lower the number means the sooner it will get built. Retail orders will generally be given a code from 10-19, store inventory cars will be given a 20-89 number. Regional managers have the ability to give orders numbers 1-9.

I just assumed that since there wasn't a PRIORITY field on the DORA it meant that it wasn't going to be processed.

ElAviator72: If you haven't yet, you many want to pester your Dealer for the railcar number. Mine was also built on 3/01/16, was loaded on 03/08/16, is traveling West via UPRR and is currently in Tuscon AZ!!

Wonder if mine is on the same rail

Well, I just pestered my salesman (on his day off!). I learned that my car has been in the BNSF railyard in Laurel, Montana for the past two days, and they're expecting it into the Portland Auto Warehousing terminal next Tuesday. They estimate it will be Friday by the time the dealer has it and has it prepped.. :love: Couldn't get them to divulge the reporting marks of the auto rack that it's loaded on, though...my salesman is a nice dude but I doubt he even knows what I was talking about

Thank you Deysha, for all your help!

You’re very welcome, machsmith!

So is it true that orders for 2016s are done?
If so, when can 2017s be ordered?

We still have more time to order 2016s, 69mach1-395. Please contact your dealer for more information.

Hi Deysha [MENTION=7992]FordService[/MENTION],

Sent you a PM last Thursday, just wondering if my car has been put on a railroad car yet (and if so, which one... ).

Thanks!

Thanks, ElAviator72. We’ve been on and off the forums lately, but we’ll get back to you soon.

I ordered my car from a dealer here in Jersey on Saturday the 5th of March and they assured me that they would have no problems getting the car as they are a big Mustang dealer with lots of allocations. I still haven't gotten my VIN but I'm constantly pestering them. ;) Anyone know how long it usually takes to have a VIN associated to my order?

Check my signature below for details but: My dealer also had allocations and my order was submitted with a priority of 10 on Jan 8th. I received my VIN on Feb 18th. Good Luck!!

Thanks for the info. So yours took over a month so that makes me feel a little bit better as so far I have only been waiting for a little over 2 weeks.

Hello to all. First post. I have been obsessively reading this site for the last several weeks and ordered my new Mustang on 3/11. Here is a summary
2016 EcoBoost Premium
Summit White / Ebony interior
201A
Automatic
Performance Package
Premium Trim package
Navigation System
MSRP $36,720
X-Plan $34,862
A/Z-Plan $33,388
NEGOTIATED PRICE $32,778 + $295 dealer fee +ttl - $500 rebate - $750 Ford cash

Deal was done completely thru email. I never stepped foot in the dealership until this past Thursday to give $500 deposit, which they did not require, but I didn't want any surprises when it came in. Order was transmitted to Ford on 3/14 with priority schedule 13. All is in writing on their purchase order, including rebate and Ford cash.
Might could have done a little better if I continued to shop but this was EXTREMELY easy and I like the dealership. And they are very mod friendly. In fact they are putting an Eichbach Pro kit on for me before I pick it up for $650 including springs and allingment.

Expected delivery is end of April hopefully.

My EcoBoost Premium was produced last night and is released awaiting shipment today. Exactly one month from order to release to shipment.

I just got word from Ford Service that my car is on rail with an ETA of 3/26. I'm stoked!

Hey guys,

Today, I finally got to see my baby in the flesh. I got a message at work from Ford Service this afternoon saying my car had been delivered, and needless to say I looked like a fool dancing and carrying on like a kid on christmas.

Went and checked the car out after work and was completely thrilled. Looked amazing, came exactly as ordered, and had no weird body fitment issues which I was kind of worried about but had figured Ford would've worked out by now. I will be taking my new mustang home with me on Thursday.

Here she is:
