They lie... .I ordered on 11/24... still In Order Processing... Build date of
Interesting, just checked mine and mine is Priority 19 also. Who knows.So I just ordered a Deep Impact Blue V6 Convertible last night. They said it would take ten weeks. At one point, Sales mgr said he would move it to #1 or something like that. I have no idea what that means or if it was just sales BS. From what I have gathered talking to several dealers about availability, it seems when a particular dealer orders a car, it's slot in the build schedule depends on that dealer's next allocation opening. So if one dealer historically sells a lot a particular model, Mustangs in this case, they get allotted more of those models. My (Silicon Valley area) sales mgr said that they were not a big dealer nor small, but they do sell a lot of Mustangs, so they get allocated more than a lot of dealers.
When I was plopping down my $500 deposit, I noticed the order said 'Priority code: 19'. I joked to him, "Hey, I thought you said you would make me #1!" He said that was #1. That the higher the number the better. Anyone know what this Priority number means?
I wonder if the factory needs to bundle specialty cars (like convertibles) to run down the line together because maybe the production line needs to be reset for them. I was told 10 weeks, which would put me at at about March 16.
Have people seen a correlation between delivery promises or actual times based on the size/volume of their dealership? I drove 1:20 to see and test drive my first 2015 convertible. I knew it was not the color I wanted, but obviously had to see and drive this car before commiting to Fly to L.A. to buy the Conv. V6 only Deep Impact Blue V6 w/ 050A group actually on a dealer lot in Calif.
Bottom line... any insights from your experience (or your crystal ball? ;) of how to read the tea leaves on a particular car from a given dealer (size/volume) about wait time is appreciated.
The "best" priority you can get is 10. The "worst" is 99 (a 99 priority order will never actually be made; it's a placeholder order number until the dealer decides to shift the car to production). A 19 priority is a retail order that's behind previous orders (which may have already been filled) that particular dealer put in.
Nice, my order sheet has a priority of 10.
Actually the best Priority you can get is a 1 (Only Ford can give an order this priority). The best priority you can get from a Dealer without Ford's say so is a 10.
So is the priority # based on the priority for that specific dealer's placed orders? Like each car they order gets the 'next' Priority # of the orders they have written from their dealer? SO if someone entered an order 15 minutes before my salesman hit enter, They would be Priority #18?
Could be but in general orders that get 19 priority are X-Plan orders.
You should see something in the next week or two, you ordered when everything was shutting down for holidays so there will be a bit of a wait, i think end of Feb is quite possible though if it goes through like it should.
