Have you tried granger yet?Tried to order one a Mach 1 at the dealer today and was told they couldn’t order any more until November. 2 more bad experiences at two different dealers later and I am beyond frustrated.
Ive got a quote from them, and I’m going to call Monday. I had been trying to avoid the hassle of ordering out of state, and it’s just caused me more lol.Have you tried granger yet?
@Jay at Granger
just view it as a fun road trip. you can either drive it back, or do like I am and tow it home.,Ive got a quote from them, and I’m going to call Monday. I had been trying to avoid the hassle of ordering out of state, and it’s just caused me more lol.
Save yourself the trouble and just go with them. I’m as far away from them as you can get and it was still the best buying experience I’ve ever hadIve got a quote from them, and I’m going to call Monday.

As I have cried like a little girl about multiple times in various threads, order priority has very little meaning when it comes to Mach 1's. I was originally a 19, dealer upped it to 10, then the regional Ford rep changed it in May to a 1, and here I still sit over 6 months later waiting for it to be built.It sounds to me they are ordering your car at priority 19 which is dealer stock. You have to inform them it should be a customer order priority 10. They maybe allocated only two for dealer stock but there should be no limit on customer orders.

Not sure why the first dealer would not offer that. They had a deposit I want the car. Why not take the sale? The second dealer I talked to the GM of the dealer group. Told him what I wanted. He said he was concerned about getting the one they had ordered and could not place another order. Also I wanted his assurance that I would actually receive the car if I put down the deposit. He was super nervous about adding the changes I asked for and reluctantly did it. He was surprised when they took. No matter which dealer in my area I go to they don't seem to know Mustangs. For example I ordered the Ford Performance Cat back system for my 2017. I got the euro spec version (I gave them the correct part number for the north america version). Why would i want another resonator!!!! I bought my 2017 new off the lot because it was the spec I wanted. The Mach 1 order was my first experience placing an order. The dealer did not give me any confidence they knew what there are doing. It was not a smooth process and they did not seem to know the Mach 1. They had no idea there was a handling package for example. The Ford Portal where you can see your reservation. They did not know that existed or how it works. I cannot tell you how frustrating this process is! Perhaps this a Canadian dealer issue. I live in Ontario outside Toronto which should be the largest volume dealers in the country.It sounds to me they are ordering your car at priority 19 which is dealer stock.

That sounds like bollocks. Dealers here ordered on end of November 2020 or so, all the allocated cars at once (possibly they secured few more allocations later). They won't manufacture 2021.5 in 2022 March and forward, VIN will have N, same for the dash plaque, it'll be 2022 model, but they really will be pretty much identical anyway (I bet).I talked to dealer about Germany orders. He said that no orders were accepted for MY 2021.
Mustangs are not built in January or February so it would be March until it is made.
Jay.....just to clarify, it's only Mustangs that use the Michelin Sport Cup 2 tires that are not built in November, December, January or February (so, Mach 1 Handling Pack & GT500 CFTP).
All other Mustangs are still built during those winter months. This is because the Cup 2 tires may lose traction during the certification dyno run at the end of the assembly line, which is performed on every single Mustang built.

Of course, other reasons may see trims (Black Accent Package, PP1 etc) not available to order, but that's most likely down to unforeseen parts shortages.
