Just got a call from my guy. Said I got 2 options 1. Wait for my ordered car which will be in production 4/28/15 OR 2. Pay an extra $500 to get an identical car I ordered from another dealer either today or tomorrow.

That tells you another dealer in the area has the car you are looking for on the lot. Uunless you are getting some super deal just start searching inventory and find it yourself then go to the dealer that has it and buy it.

If not I'd want a very clear explanation of why they want $500 to do a dealer trade.

Before placing my order I searched and had 0 luck. Maybe a dealer got 1 a few days after I ordered? I forgot exactly what he said over the phone but I think he said something about dealer hold back?

Dealer hold backs are not something that should ever cost the customer more money:

If they can get the car from another dealer it must be out there, lots of cars could have been delivered in the last 5 weeks.

Interesting. I told him to get me the car since I just sold my car and Dont want to deal with the hassle of borrowing my parents car or ask for rides for work. Should I try and negotiate that $500 down? I dont want to end up waiting for my ordered car.

This thread makes me feel better. I orderedon 3/23 and have seen nothing yet except order in processing. I ordered at a small dealer. I'm thinking I will order at a big dealer next week and let them race. First to get the vin number gets the sale. I'm a-plan. No negotiation on price makes it easier to do this.

I ordered on 2/27, order date in COTUS shows 3/4, still not scheduled (no VIN). I think there are a lot of us in this same situation. I thought for sure it'd go quicker than this, I have a priority code of 11. I'm to the point where I'd travel anywhere in the US to pick up a car, but appears that there isn't currently a Magnetic EcoBoost PP w/ cloth Recaros and manual transmission in existence.

Just talked to the sales guy and said the extra $500 is cause the car at the other dealer costs more. Does this sound right

I got the same BS when my dealer tried to find me one local after ordering mine. He related it to holdback also.

What was the end result? I plan to go with my father tomorrow to get the car

Ordered 3-8 with a priority 10. Talked to my dealer and he said ford pulled no special orders this week (or something like that) said I should have a Vin next week (fingers crossed)!

Sounds familiar Magnetic. Mine was 3/09 with a Priority of 10 also. Jeff told me on Friday 4/10 that the VIN should arrive in a "couple of weeks". That would be 6 weeks to get a VIN and hopefully it will not show a similar delay for the production date.

Hate to say it, but have never had problems or delays like this with a Chevy.

Feb 20 was the start of the European oders. I ordered (germany) right away and got a build date on May 15. So I think they are currently a little beyond capacity with those overseas orders.
