Just added my info :cheers: Hopefully very soon I can update it with blend date, date built and DELIVERED
I agree wholeheartedly. My order started as a 2015, then morphed into a 2016, so I was worried that the options might get mixed up. In addition, it was built on "day one" of the 2016 model year, so I was concerned that there might be quality control issues. My fear was that I would have to wait a long time, and still not get the car I ordered.I just want to give Deysha a thumbs up here. I PM'd her with a delivery question and she replied with information the dealer didn't want to be bothered or don't know how to get meI bought a V6 that was ordered for dealer stock that just got on the train so is not something I can track on COUTUS from what I understand, though the dealer can with the right information.
Deysha you're a real plus for the Ford Motor Company and probably helps it sell more cars :ford:
. Deysha, I can't speak for anyone else, but I really appreciate the info you passed on to me :first:.
Added my info as well. Should we add a column for whether your vehicle is being shipped by rail or by truck? Would be interesting to see what the difference it makes in time of delivery.
The way it used to work was the negotiating company was struck first. Been away from the business for quite a while now though, so don't know if that still holds true. I did have earlier information that it would be Chrysler, and the same source told me that the first plant they'd strike would be the Chrysler transmission plant in Kokomo, Indiana. The reason being, it'd shutdown Chrysler's whole operation within a week. I just hope it all works out and the union doesn't want too much, and the car companies don't get too stingy. Bad for everybody that way. Besides... I WANT MY MUSTANG!

Awwwee!! Thank you for the kind words, guys!! You’re very welcome!! :love:I agree wholeheartedly.

The guys at my dealership were friendly, and I think that they tried to be helpful about my questions, but most of the time they could only give me an estimated delivery date, which kept changing. Deysha always responded to my status requests, and gave me answers when I couldn't get them from the dealer. This really helped to assure me that things were going smoothly.
In the end, everything turned out OK, and my car was delivered two weeks BEFORE the estimated delivery date
Did my part as well. Where is this order list located in the forums ?
Tell the dealer you want a copy of the priced DORA, pronto! That's Ford's acknowledgement that they received the order and it is in the Ford system. No promise of being built at this time, just an order receipt. The DORA (Dealer Order Receipt Acknowledgement) will have everything Deysha needs to track it down. AND SHE WILL! Order number, dealer number, and a breakdown of what was ordered including options. Some dealers just don't want to be cooperative, or salesmen just to ignorant to get with the program. Have them e-mail you a scanned copy ASAP. If need be, remind them that YOU are the customer, and they're not doing you a favor. Favors don't cost $$$, and you're spending yours!
