The people who post this stuff on BO generally know better what's going on than some guy at the dealership. This information has also since been posted on Donlen.
So it's possible that you can get an order in later than 3/02 but if you want something that is going out of production this MY, I wouldn't chance it.
Dealers are often clueless unfortunately. According to this production schedule, which can also be found other places as well, this Friday is the last day to order a 2018 so if you want to order a triple yellow, I'd do it this week. I'm sure your dealer might be able to source you a triple yellow somewhere else but it won't be an order. 2019 production starts in June so it sounds like your dealer doesn't know about the shortened production schedule for the 2018s and is just basing his comments off of when ordering has closed in the past few years.
Just do the order now, what’s stopping you? Production for 2018s will go into June iirc, but that’s filling orders already made. The time to order is now and asap if you want a disappearing 2018 color choice.
This, based on the information that I can dig up specifically on this site, I have always gone into the dealership more informed than they are. Trust what you see here and you will not be disappointed. Just place the order!
UPDATE: I was able to get the order in on 2/14 for the wife's GT Vert. The waiting begins.Yep, and we're in the same boat my friend. We're out of town for awhile, and I was planning on ordering the wife a 2018 when we return March 4th. Well, that ain't happening now.
Got the VIN#, a TPW 03/26, and an EDD of 04/21. Now, if everything will just stay the same.UPDATE: I was able to get the order in on 2/14 for the wife's GT Vert. The waiting begins.
From my understanding, the message you received above is an indication that your order has been submitted and accepted (if you try another bogus order number in your search you will get a different message that says check your input and try again). You can also call Ford Customer Service or open a chat on the build and price site and they can confirm your order is in their system. My order was submitted 3/7. I have received confirmation that my order has been accepted and is awaiting scheduling. I am still getting the same exact Cotus message as you. While it's still no guarantee that the car will be built depending on final build out and potential material restraints, there isn't anything more you can do now but be patient and wait. Scheduling should be done in the next few weeks. Best of luck!
awesome, thanks man
