Build Week 3/9/15

[A Polite Canadian]

Did you order a specific option combo? If not id start browsing local dealers inventory trying to find something you like and just buy that instead if they are not going to work with you to find the car.

I ordered as Base GT as you can possibly get. Literally not a single option.

These are INCREDIBLY hard to come by.

So am I the only one who is still awaiting shipment according to cotus?
According to ford service I'm still in the 'in production' stage.
Why would I be in production for over a month?
I found a car that was produced this month and is already shipping to a dealer in my city...tempted to buy that one in stead, but its white instead of magnetic...

Well I just called Ford Canada and they told me that ALL mustang shipments have been put on hold and NO mustangs are shipping. Ford sure seems to like to lie a lot!!

Did they give you a reason?

Kind of troubling seeing as my car is only two weeks old...must be some kind of major issue with the cars that have just been built....I hope I'm not driving some kind of friggin ticking time bomb...

This doesn't seem right. There are many people who have had build weeks after yours and have gotten or are about to get their cars. Is this just for your build week?

Yeah I called BS. I said other people with the same build week as me have already received their cars, and people with newer build weeks have also received theirs.
They couldn't give me any reason as to why "ALL Mustangs" weren't shipping. I'm 100% sure that isn't accurate information....just that much more frustrating getting false information from ford.

What city are you in? If you're anywhere near Regina I can ask my sales guy to check around and see if he can find you something.


Also I get to pick my car up tomorrow at noon, has to go back tuesday for the window tint but at least i'll have it over the weekend.

Vancouver Island, not exactly close. Plus they said it was mandatory that I put $1000 down, non-refundable, in order for them to order the car.

I called Ford Canada. He told me there is a stop on all 2015 F150's and 2015 Mustangs, but that they should be shipping shortly. He said he didn't think it was a quality control or mechanical, as the cars are still saying they are ready to be shipped, and no other weird messages.

Then he proceeds to tell me my car could get here either 10 days earlier, or 10 days later than my EDD of the 17th. I think I can officially say it's not going to get here 10 days sooner.

My COTUS reads "0 Days to delivery".... I'm sure some do, but do you know how heartbreaking it is to see that and not have a car?:frusty:

Very interesting that you got told there is a stop on the shipping as well. I wonder what the heck is going on.
And I know your pain. my EDD was April 1st...now its seemingly never!
All these delays have me shopping around the competition. Anyone ever owned a BMW...considering looking at a 2014 BMW 435i xdrive instead of the mustang...would be way better in the winter anyway lol.

I would ask to speak with a manager and get a correct answer, since cars are DEFINITELY still moving.

My car didn't magically appear at the dealer this week, it clearly was shipped.. so there is no stop on at least some of the shipments.

 

[whoishomer]

yes I found similar mustang to mine. Build week was April 6th, and its already in transit and on its way to my city. really makes me wonder

When I called Ford Canada, I was told a manager would get back to me today or tomorrow.

 

[GordieBobfish]

I would ask to speak to the GM or owner of your dealer and challenge him directly that Heartland Ford ordered my car on Feb 9th and I took delivery of it March 31st.

It's crap that your car is somehow in permanent limbo.

What about other dealer stock? Nisku Ford looked to have 2 or 3 2015's on the lot when I drove by last night.

Denny Andrews had at least two in stock when I was there a month ago.

Funny thing is I ordered mine from the co-owner of the dealership...been dealing with him the entire time, but he hasn't been much help lately. Last update I got was that he has been trading emails like crazy with Ford Canada, but was unable to get anything concrete. For all I know, he is just as frustrated with Ford Canada as I am!!

And yeah I've found some similar ones in stock or in transit, but nothing that its spec'd out like I wanted... :( Not sure if I should wait to get exactly what I want, or compromise to drive now!

Tough call...a compromise will probably always feel that way.
