Ford US have stated that the entire 2017 build allocation is ordered for AU. Its only a 6 month wait for NZ orders though.

So does that mean more than 8,000 orders?

If they dedicated 1 week to building rhd for aus they would have all orders built. Then one car carrier can carry all of those 4000 easily. So one month on the ship, one week to build them all, give another week to get them to the ship and another one for other bs they go through on this end.

Could have everyone who has ordered one in Australia driving their new stang in 2 months.

That one week of halted production of left hand drives would more than likely not even be noticed in the USA as their car dealers are full of them ready to be sold anyway.

Feel better about the wait now? :shrug:

source? The interwebs.

if you dont believe me G Rush, thats ok.
It's not about belief, it's about being a constructive member of this forum, where you post links to news that is, well, new.

At the moment I've seen claims the Stang is sold out "until 2017". Beyond that is anyone's guess, especially if they do ramp up production somehow, and unless you can provide a link then you're talking trash.

You didn't mention that US Customs would need to also stop inspections to prioritse these cars, likelihood of that happening = zero

WWL delaying other customer bookings to dedicate for those 4000? I doubt they can even book them until passing customs. Chances = zero.

Logistics of this process is so simple, build - ship - deliver.... unless you are the company relying on 3rd party suppliers and government agencies that run to their own timetables, not one group of end customers.

Ok? you can believe I am talking trash. :cheers:

Oh I don't disagree Ford US should do more RHD builds, and their claim they were surprised isnt really true, they had enough preorders to identify they were going to fall short in their planned build allocations.

But they cannot control the wait at the ports, for customs or for space on a ship. If your car is stuck at the ports, stop complaing to Ford and email the Baltimore ports, they are the only ones that control it.

If you want to know more about who to contact .. http://mpa.maryland.gov/content/roro.php
