Broken COTUS?

[Tim Hilliard]

Can you possibly look up mine? My dealer said he is giving it to me 200 over I just want to be sure lol

Just build it on Ford's website at X-Plan :shrug: You final price will be slightly more.

300A $33,383 400A $37118 am I an the zone? Invoice + $200 should be $33,440 to $37,190.

LOL at the OP freaking out, understandable but still funny even with RF posting his invoice.

An invoice does not imply perfection. It does not mean all is well. Orders change. Cars are damaged. Trucks and tracking can be wrong.

Am I the only one who sees this as more than a car? This is over forty thousand of my dollars that went unaccounted for for a while. What would you do if your bank made $40k vanish without a trace for a while? You'd make me look calm cool and collected.

If you have nothing positive or informative to contribute to the thread Tim stay out of it please.

Wow, you paid full price as a deposit?

I gave my word, in the form of a loan; to someone, in the form of the bank. Maybe I was raised differently, but yes... To me a loan is the same as my own acquired money. If you don't view it as such you have no respect for the value of the loan that exists beyond its financial value. "A person is only as good as their word" right? At least that's what they say.

Or you (collective) can try to continue to prove me wrong... Which is cool too. But, you won't be allowed to start a tab at my bar. ;)

I won't argue this further. I don't view the apparent (not literal) loss of a $40k+ car/item/thing/object as an overreaction. As far as I was concerned my GT got lost. It worried me. I did what was necessary to obtain the information I needed to relocate it.

Again, if you have nothing positive or informative to add to this thread, stay out of it please.

The price on mine was 39,420. I didn't know there was an X-Plan spot on their website?

Dude what the heck does this post mean? Getting approved for a loan isn't the same as spending it. Until that car is in your possession and you sign the title paperwork it's not yours and you didn't pay for it. I'd bet my own '15 and say rising force and COTUS is right and your car WAS delivered.

Guarantee you they have full coolant and oil, and just a splash of gas. They are driveable.

This is accurate. I used to turn wrenches at a Ford dealer.

I don't know what you ordered so these were just based models.

:lol: That's how I read it at first. Then I re-read that he did the paperwork ahead of time.

OP needs to chill out and not yell at me, I apologize if you took offense at my comment but grow up. 1. Don't pay for a car before you see it and then expect us to feel bad for you. 2. This is a public forum and I did contribute to it. 3. RF was trying to confirm to you that your car was delivered but you didn't even bother to read through your own threads comments. 4. You were never out a dime at anytime because the transaction was never completed due to not accepting the car, why you wouldn't sign off on it at time of transfer I don't understand...Did you actually hand the check to the dealer or just have the check in your possession?

I don't really care but this is a public forum.

As soon as she's here you all will know!

They have reported your vehicle as SOLD , dated 10/22

This means that your warranty of your car has already started now before you even took posession of the vehicle. IF they actually reported it under YOUR name and didnt sell it from under you

 

[RisingForce]

Gonna do some further investigation.

I apologize, I didn't see on the previous page that you had signed all the paperwork and secured the loan in advance. I've seen others here with the same reaction, but only after having put down a likely refundable deposit and not having signed the paperwork. Are you now forced into making payments on something that hasn't been delivered? I mean, did they get to the point of the process where they schedule your first payment and such? I would certainly hope not and also hope that they get your car to you ASAP.

Have you checked out the Ford inventory website and looked to see if it has been delivered to another dealer my mistake? I think that I'd do that if I were you to hopefully catch it if another dealer received it, before they have a chance to sell it. I also hope that Ford makes this right by you in the form of a discount, or a car with more features than you ordered if they can't get you the exact one you ordered because of some mistake (wrong dealer and then sold, car in an accident, etc.).

OUCH!

 

[RisingForce]

If you're Cameron then they reported it under your name.
Still doesn't make sense why they would report it sold before you take delivery of the vehicle.

 

[Ruin]

Yes, I'm Cameron - Cam (under my avatar) is my nickname. ;)

I'll condense the information I have smattered through this thread.

After failed attempts to sell my 2013 I agreed to the (not so great) dealer trade and went in Wednesday 10/22 to finalize my paperwork. I manage a microbrewery and work very odd and unpredictable hours. Before the COTUS source code was hidden I saw an ETA of 10/21 to 10/25. My boss was kind enough to let me slip my duties to go take receipt of the car when it arrives. I decided the way to return the favor was to do my part to make it as quick as possible so I can get back to work.

As of Thursday morning COTUS was showing me as In Transit. Thursday night, during a quick break, I checked COTUS again and it showed delivered (picture from first post). It was late, the dealership was closed and my sales rep wasn't answering my calls. So after closing the tasting room I drove to the dealership, spoke to the night watchman and wandered around. No yellow GT.

This is what put me in panic mode. My car had vanished. Even Rachel with FordService was showing it as delivered. Yesterday morning I was in touch with my sales rep, dealership owner (love small towns), and Rachel. It took some digging but what we found was the paperwork I did Wednesday marked the car as SOLD. Which, as far as the computer was concerned, meant the car had been received. So, late Thursday night, it shut down my ability to track in COTUS - furthering my panic early Friday morning. A lot of my guests are amateur comedians and have been teasing me all week about reports of a car hauler overturned on I-40 loaded with new 2015 Mustangs. If this is going to happen to any of us it's going to happen to me haha.

Yesterday afternoon a nameless birdie was able to track my GT to a rail yard in South Carolina with a scheduled delivery of tomorrow. Maybe I get lucky and it arrives today. Who knows. Either way, I now know that my car is in one piece, accounted for and on its way!

:cheers:
