Just picked it up.

1/24 order. 6/4 blend date. 6/16 shipped. Got to dealership last Saturday.

Had to beg and plead to pick it up ASAP because Im leaving for an extended work trip tomorrow---if i didnt pick it up today I would have been back way after their deadline. So just one night together for now. Chapman was great to work with.

Car looks good, nice options.

I ordered a Mach 1 from Chapman, arrived last week as well. They sent me an initial email about the price and other stuff. Haven't heard back from them since. They said they were busy with all of the orders they just received.
Sounds like you got lucky or at least they were nice enough to push your purchase through.

Good luck with the car and enjoy.

Thanks. Yeah, I got the initial email saying to respond to them and they will let you known when it is ready, and the email says the car needs to be picked up within 14 days of initial contact. I'm going to be out of the country long after that so I called them and became kind of a pest until they were nice enough to find a little time for me. Really nice and helpful when I arrived.

Apparently plenty of people order cars with them and then ghost when they arrive, so the 14 day limit allows them to list the cars as dealer stock if there's no response. There seems to be quite a backlog there.

There was a GB M1 in the showroom, didn't see any others. A few green GTs that looked sharp.

Expected... However I am hopeful that deliveries are going to keep coming in allowing them to build a stockpile of parts so that we all get our build dates...

Yes. There was a cutoff date of mid-April; all orders placed before mid-April received price protection.

Yeah I’m glad I had the original sheet (from 2/3/2022) because today when I picked up mine they were going to sneak in the new msrp. I said wait a minute and showed the old one. First thing they said was they would file a claim with Ford while I paid the new price and likely Ford would cut a check which they would give back to me. In a matter of minutes they changed their tune and honored the old sheet which was 2000 less on a non HP Mach1. She’s home now :-)

The Ford dealer in Tampa here was first class. Appreciated it.

I'm glad things worked out. It's unfortunate so often the burden is on us to clarify matters such as these.

Once Skye's build date had been secured, I volleyed an e-mail to my salesman, asking if the dealer supported price protection. They later confirmed yes, with a dollar amount.

I'm grateful I was able to draw on the experiences and information from everyone here to confirm my status so it would not become an issue. Makes me wanna testify!

Took delivery from granger today and was at the dealer for literally 5 minutes. Ordered Feb 10th.
If you want a great deal that's quick and painless, granger is the way

hi fam, update:

Ordered April 7th and dealer received July 7, not a bad turnaround time.

Unfortunately I did not purchase my order and let the dealer keep it! My salesman said the employees were all checking it out. Car looks extremely nice in person, the glossy black accents really set it off. After I released it my salesman literally handed the keys to an employee who wanted to buy it.

The reason is during my wait I kind of fell out of love with the car. I’m still fairly young and still getting established and have a wedding coming up in a few months. I can afford the payment but it’s an amount that I am not comfortable paying at this time. Had this car been on the lot in April, I’d probably be driving it right now.

edit: I do give props to the ford dealer for shaving off some of the price and lowering the finance rates. I honestly do feel they made an attempt to keep me knowing they could mark it up, or in this case let their employee buy it.

I hope I can rejoin the Mustang family someday in the future <3

Your discipline is commendable. I hope your marriage lasts longer than any of your cars!

I hope so lol!

I know I made the right decision financially at this point in my life but I am still a bit upset. I’ve always loved Mustangs. It’s still my dream car.

Another rookie error (keeping loose things in the trunk on a RSD car), another save by the claw!

I've GOT to stop doing this s#@% !

Decades from now when trying to sell the car..."There certainly seem to be a lot of rattles coming from inside the car. What's up with that?" Defense response, "Nothing. It's sounded like that since the day I picked her up!"
