I have a long wait.

Did you just get that? I ordered 4/22 and don’t have any confirmation yet that anything was actually ordered.

I got this last night, but I’ve been getting updates since about two weeks after I ordered.

Some dealers do the right thing and turn in your contact info so you can stay somewhat informed. I didn't get anything from Ford.

I don’t like waiting for my car, but I’m glad that it appears it won’t be built until they have all the parts. That’s not always the case. Kentucky is full of F150’s Ford can’t sell because they’re missing various modules.

In March when I ordered the Mach from a local dealer, he agreed to 2% under invoice to match Granger and $32K trade for my car, which was a good number at the time.

Since then I’ve been checking Carvana and Vroom weekly because of the crazy used car pricing from the chip shortage, and got a $37,300 buy offer from Vroom. (Carvana was $32K.) Forwarded that to the dealer and said if you increase your trade offer to $35K I won’t sell to Vroom. He said the deal was he gets my car because that’s his only chance at making money, and it’s harder to get a Mach now than it was in March too, so if he doesn’t get my car the deal’s off and I have to pay sticker for the Mach. He said he’ll buy my car now for $35K, I’d just lose the sales tax advantage of a sell now vs. trade at delivery which is around $2K.

So at a $35K sell now I’d be $1000 ahead of a $32K trade in July so I probably should have taken it but I said if you’ll split the difference with the Vroom offer and buy now for $36K I’ll bring the car up tonight. He said he’d get back to me, wouldn’t be surprised if he calls back in a few days and says see you in July for $32K.

No way I’m backing out of the deal because I’d never get one ordered for 2% under and receive it in July from anyone else.

Ah the negotiation dance…. I hate it.

I love the game. Also you should always negotiate the price of the new car before you ever mention anything about a trade.

My 17 GT is at $37,170 from Vroom and KBB puts the private party sale at 37-39k for one in my condition. It's getting to be that time to sell. I paid about 37k after TTL new 4 years ago.

Yep I started with the 2% under invoice and once they agreed to that we worked on a trade value. They offered $29K but I got them up to $32K, again back in March that was a good deal.

That’s sucks you are now tied to the trade even though you made the deal on the car before it.

When I first ordered my Mach my vroom offer on my truck was 29 now it’s 34.7. Hopefully that holds when I get delivery in 3 months,ish.

My order was bumped out. The estimated delivery was originally 6/28, then 7/5/2021, and now 7/14. Sad days.

I think I have good news. This morning my link said the M 1 would be at Granger Motors in 4 days. Just now it says the car is "in production".

Has anyone had this experience? If so, how long after "in production" to arriving at the dealership?

Here is my tracking timeline, notice how dates don't jive. Real timeline-- accepted 2/2/21--built 3/28/21--at dealer 4/6/21. And look at shipped, WTF, but at least I have it. Not all that accurate.

My car went into production March 23, shipped on April 17, and arrived at the dealer may 5. The tracking site said in production up until the car shipped. Had an estimated arrival date of may 27 right up until the minute it came of the truck the afternoon of the 5th.
Im still not sure what the delay was after production. I got an email from Ford saying they were taking the time to make sure my car was up to my expectations and that was the cause of it not shipping yet. Ultimately it showed up without any clue as to what held it up. I would say the fit and finish is better than I expected so maybe they had to address something that was caught before shipping

Damn Deja vu, I heard the exact same story, maybe there is something to it. Compared to my Shelby this car is a masterpiece.

The only thing I can find is the rear deck lid is not perfect. Doubtful anyone else would notice but I do. My wife thinks I’m crazy for pointing it out but it’s off slightly. Don’t know if it’s worth taking to the dealer because from what I see on the lots it looks better than most.
I was hoping the delay with my car was some extra attention and maybe that’s what it got because compared to some of the cars I’ve seen and what some members here (including the gt500 like you mentioned) have complained about I lucked out.

Hi, I'm new here. I Picked mine up a few days ago. I traded in my 2017 Focus RS which makes me a little sad, but I absolutely love my new Mach 1.
