Ah no. I was fully expecting a wait, he knows I got a number from Ford for it, so it’s all good. Just the wait :/

Looks like everyone is affected by hold ups. My initial delivery was early April (car built on 5-Jan) and is now pushed back to mid May. Dealer advised all Mustangs getting delayed with no specific info on why.

Rumours 1. no trains from Factory to port (doesn't Ford run their own train rolling stock? When full the leave Factory was usual operating process) Rumours 2. Covid-19 funny given all the lack of distancing in US from general media coverage and positive cases 3. No availability of RORO boats, curious given the WW voyage schedule looks unaffected. Rumours 4. Late changes to cosmetics needing to be applied to early build vehicles and/or cars awaiting manufacturing approval for release after early build/assembly issues resolution. Rumours 5. Chips lacking (two other assembly plants furloughed but Flat Rock not advised as affected)

Take your pick, either way another case of hurry up and wait, for comparision my '16 convertible 5.0 was Feb 2016 build and delivered Apr 2016 in Brisbane. This time around build 5-Jan, Delivery 24-May a longer timeline.

There are massive shipping capacity issues globally, delaying all types goods. A scarcity of shipping is being compounded by port congestion and container location issues. Shipping lines are charging massive premiums and prioritising those who will pay above contracted rates. NB. RORO vessel carry container freight as well as vehicles.

Nothing from Ford or the dealer. I’m figuring it won’t come for a while and a mid year delivery

Window Stickers no longer work for export vehicles so will not generate. You can still use ETIS and get the basic details along with the German language page that details build date and status on shipping. Dealer has best info but even that seems to be changing (i.e. delays)

Just spoke to my sales rep, he says from what he knows, it won't start being built until late this month, but more than likely April.

When did they stop the window stickers for export vehicles?

Can't get window stickers as they are no longer released, can get info from ETIS when it is built as the PTI info denotes the build date after they download all the serial numbers from the car at the end of build. Alternatively you can goto the german language site and get a build date as long as you have a VIN.

Got an update today from Sales Rep, back to 24-Apr ETA in VISTA so the only thing for certain is that another day is one less day until (eventual) arrival of car!

When did you get your VIN? I was told mine would be later in the month, but I get the feeling it'll be later. I only got the NSC not too long ago.
