[Bobsp12]

First batch was always order by 6 March and receive the car October 2015 to February 2016. Well at least thats what I was told, never heard anything about May.

You can't beat Ford consistency....

Looking at the list of cars loaded so far, around 400 not including those about to go onto the Tarago, that will be close to all those coming out to Oz this year, probably 500ish with Tarago's lot. Being as not much news about builds in the last month have happened and I havent heard of any more.."Here's your mustang ".. emails since the september batch, I am guessing that the next build batch, in December is going to be the last coming over by February. I cant see how 1000 to 1300 are going to be built in December and delivered by Feb. I can't remember the figure quoted by Ford for the first lot, 1500 to 1800 , something like that...they are going to be seriously struggling to get the first batch of orders here by June at this rate.

Well Deysha has proven once again to be the oracle of ford info. I now have a window sticker... As well as a date it should be at the docks

Hah. If it actually is delivered within 7 days of the current eta I will raise the score to a 4... If it is on the day currently suggested they can have a 4.5:cheers:

Is that the wall of shame or wall of fame?

If you can't beat them join them? I have not jumped as far as a lot of orders. I would love to see how ford actually did the allocation

I dont think they know themselves....it is far too irrational for there to be any logical process involved.....all queue jumpers had better sleep lightly once they receive their cars...I will be donning a ninja suit and putting camry badges onto your cars at night.

I would hope the shame bit would come from Ford, but they don't give a fuck about fairness or respect.

so I know this topic has been covered already but given my car is supposedly being built this weekend how do I access Etihad or whatever it is called and what will it tell me.

Etis (aka Etihad):

https://www.etis.ford.com/vehicleRegSelector.do

Select the "Vehicle" tab at the top of the page and enter your VIN.

Window Sticker:

http://www.windowsticker.forddirect.com/windowsticker.pdf?vin=

(Copy/paste link & enter your VIN after the vin=)

Your window sticker should become available in the days immediately before your build is due.

Hi Drew,

So if it comes up with a message "no vehicle found corresponding to VIN ....." that would mean the car is still not due to be built?

That's what just came up for me; I've been given a build date of Nov 2015 by Ford.

Cheers!

That is correct RSPEC-015. As usual Ford Oz do not have a clue. Your Etis probably has a build date of 30.11.0002...that means it doesn't have a scheduled build date yet. I was told the same croc by FordOz....when I contacted Deysha from Ford USA, I was given a build week of December 7th to 11th. I am guessing yours would be around the same. The wait continues....
