Convertible Orders

[GT82-15]

Your right, not always first built- first out (but) something tells me that for a Vehicle to sit at the Plant 4 weeks after it was built is very suspicious. Something went wrong or QC had major issue(s).

Yes I would agree. Thankfully I am not at that point yet and am hoping I don't get there.

"Maggie" is IN Transit with and EDD of 1/4/2015 that's a Sunday so I figure at the Dealer (Loveland Ford) 1/5 or 1/3. Our two are probably on the same train. Looks like the weather is not going to be to bad either.

My EDD was this past Sunday and it arrived Saturday afternoon.

Pretty much have decided to abort what is turning into this 5 month nightmare. Kind of lost that "loving feeling" too much drama for me. Probably going to request a refund of my small deposit and let someone else have it when and (if) it ever arrives. Still going to purchase a S550 Base V6 Convertible but will now concentrate finding one within the State of Florida that is in Dealer Stock. If I can locate pretty much what I Ordered, I`ll simply use my X-Plan Pin# and drive it home. Its been fun keeping in touch with most of you over the past 4 months but, enough is enough. Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year. Cheers

Same to you man! With the limited amount of options on the V6s, I bet you'll be able to find something darn close if not exactly what you ordered. I would think V6 convertibles would be stocked very well in Florida! Sorry to see you go but I understand! :cheers:

Sorry that you've had so much trouble it's be nice talking to another V6er. Hope you find what you want should be plenty of verts in Sunny Florida.

Ughhhh¡ Deliver date changed again. 2/5 to 1/2 now to 1/3 further away from 1/1 bday¡ sadfaced¡

Heres a question about vehicle shipping logistics.

Ford has been doing this for a while now and something tells me they know what they're doing. (OK, OK its hopeful thinking)

If you can drive from Flat Rock MI to Miami FL in 25 hours, I assume (I know, I know) that the trains are loaded from point a to point b then unloaded and go by truck to their final destination within that trains region. Theres no reason to believe that it will take more than 3-5 days for the car to tom from shipped to delivered.

Again, I am in the wishful thinking mode, I just wanted to put in my $.02 here, I am sorry that Phil1336 decided to end his suffering and decide to look for another V6 Vert. To you I wish all the luck, you may find what your looking for, or you may wind up with your ordered car.

As long as you don't give up on Mustang!

I wonder if they are shipping only GT convertibles?

Have any V6 or EB verts been delivered ?

 

[Jeffola]

One more thing, Has anybody gotten an EDD that was missed by more than a few days?

I read one person saying his car beat his EDD by 1 day, but I haven't seen any complaints that it was weeks late. Even the ones sitting at FRAP, whats their EDD ?

 

[Jeffola]

ITS SHIPPED!!!!! My Edd moved 4 days from 1/6 to 1/10.

The dealer called to advise that its a realistic date and they anticipate delivery around 1/10 or so.

Congratulations on your your Vehicle being shipped. I don`t know the logistics of Transit from Rail to Car Carrier to Dealer. I do know that a Vehicle that was conceived and Built between 11/17 and 11/25 that hasn`t been released yet is a "Red Flag"! 5 weeks to remain at the Plant after production is (not) normal. I`ll take my chances on a Mustang Convertible I find In Stock that arrived without a "history" then await a Car that (mysteriously) was held for a month and a half, counting the Holiday shut down, to finally arrive. Not superstitious but there is no reasonable explanation for such a delay. Happy Holidays and I hope you Car arrives sooner then later.

It depends on a lot of factors. The trains make multiple stops. At every stop they need to load/unload cargo. This consumes a lot more time compared to passengers getting on/off a train for example.

My office is across the street from several dealerships and I've observed that loading/unloading a truck of cars is at best a half day job.

Not sure where in SoFla you are but autonation margate has two GT verts in stock.

All those factors that contribute to a short or long delay applies once the Vehicle is shipped and is in transit, correct? If a Vehicle is (held) at FRAP for 5 weeks after assembly, obviously the days it takes to arrives begins once it actually is released from the Plant, right?:frusty:

I`m in Palm Beach County but would drive out of the area if I located the right Vehicle. Want a Base V6 A/T Convert with Spoiler Delete and 051A Package with Spare Tire, not likely to find that Combo to quickly in Race Red, you think?
