Aussie S650 wait List and deposits?

[DFB5.0]

Hmmm actually that carry handle doesn't look bad but you can always add one later.

Hating on those wheels eh? More crocodile tears IMHO. They look diabolically hard to clean and will hence give you hours of detailing happiness. What's not to like?

Not to mention there's even more of that delightful honeycomb

I will be swapping the S550 PP1 wheels that have been in storage back onto my current Mustang before I sell it, keeping the FP wheels and black lugs instead. I may end up using them again on the S650, sounds like a backward step but I really love those wheels.

Your S550 will never sell! If it looks too good to be true...

Yes very interested to see how the FP wheels look on the S650, that wheel design is . But yes very backward step and I can confidently say they will be rubbish on the S650 so you should sell them to me to avoid disappointment

Looks like the US Order Book Opening date has been pushed back to 23rd Jan 23.

I wonder if they delayed the Order Bank Opening to allow release of the Dealer Order Guide - Product Info or even pricing?

US Order Banks Open: 23/01/23

Scheduling Begins: 11/03/23

US LHD Production Starts: 11/04/23 ......(Aus RHD Production usually begins 4-6 weeks later)

Good one! An official Order on the Ford Au System or a Dealer PRE-Order, pending an Allocation ?

Any Pricing info?

It's the same info I posted on 7G 11 days ago.

I did ask Jarstang to create an Australian subforum on 7G weeks ago, but he never responded/acted. So discussion is fragmented all over the place.

Is there an expected time frame for pricing to be released for all variants?
If my car is going to be delayed for an extended period with this quarantine issue I may order an S650 instead.

The internet was expexting the order banks to open Monday, but that wasnt the case...The next internet theory is the orders bank will happen after the charity auction of Vin001.

Even when order banks open it still may be a while before we get pricing info here in Oz

TTT12, would they even allow you to change you order this far down the line? Sounds like your car is in Australia, just caught in quarantine.

I've got an order on a Dark Horse and a GT both pending pricing. I just wish they would release the pricing so I can decide which one I'm going to go with. (That is if I can even get a Dark Horse as well - allocations might be few)

What spec Dark Horse did you order?

My Dark Horse order is a Blue Ember, manual.
My GT is a Atlas blue, 10 speed auto, Magneride, black pack.

I've got a deposit down for a dark horse that was transferred from my Nov 2021 order that they never fulfilled...what a shit show that was...

I havent got to the point of discussing colours, options yet my deposit just puts me in the queue at the dealer.

Car is definitely in Oz. Well, in a boat waiting to land. It docked in Brisbane twice before being diverted to Melbourne. I will only order an S650 if they tell me the wait time is ridiculous. Plus I can walk away no questions and no loss of money.

Mate that's crazy!. We are all anxious but you are next level . Do you really think you can toss away your order when its this close and then put yourself through it all again?.

Just floating ideas. Haha. Honestly if they tell me it’s another 4-5 months I’d consider it. From what I’ve read about quarantine delays that’s not an unrealistic timeframe. Apparently there is about 10,000 cars affected by quarantine. Add congestion at the ports etc and the times start to blow out. Best case scenario is that this was due to Brown Marmotated Stink Bug and the issue might be able to be fixed onboard the ship and it gets transported straight away. The Vessel has been anchored off Melbourne since the 18th and likely not to dock until the 1st of February at the earliest. I think I am next level just because of how close I was to take delivery, literally days away, to then not know how long it’s going to be. Heck I’m even looking at the Hyundai i30N or similar as a back up option. Heh.
