Deysha was the one who gave me the information that it hadn't moved to Awaiting Shipment yet. I called Ford Service today and they said it is now in Awaiting Shipment but there's no ETA. So the waiting continues. Going to be awhile bc even when it ships, it still has to make it all the way to the west coast. I just hope it comes before my loan pre-approval expires next month, don't want another inquiry.Just a WAG, but may be waiting for some small part/sub-assembly that they didn't want to stop the line for. Could also be QA found a bad batch of parts. Easier and cheaper for them to replace it at the plant than pay the dealer to do it.
I'd suggest a PM to Deysha, if you haven't already. She may be able to pin it down for you. Better to wait and know it's right than have to take it back to the dealer, where they always seem to fix things at THEIR convenience, rather than yours.
At least you know it wasn't built on the last shift before a strike. The horror!
That is all...
DO know what you mean about the loan. You want to have it lined up, but if it goes beyond 60 days... gotta re-apply. That doesn't look great on a credit report. I'm OK for now on that part, but still wondering about when it'll show up. Got the check-dated Tuesday, so I've got 58 more days on that. Wheels are going to beat the car here for sure. Will have them Tuesday.

Desmondo, I'm in MetroWest area and have the same blend date and ETA of 9/29. My salesman told me as long as it goes smoothly, it should be on time. I asked about the convoy term and he said it's on the rails for a good amount of the trip then onto a truck. Not sure where the truck picks it up though.
Probably somewhere right in Boston. Rail service there is CSX, methinks. I know rail shipments down my way come right into the Norfolk Southern yard in Atlanta, offloaded into a storage yard, and then loaded on the trucks for dealer delivery. I found a web page that lists most auto/rail terminals in the U.S. back in November, but didn't bookmark it. And being an old fart, can't remember how I got there... wasn't from a search though. I'll keep looking, and should I find it, I'll post a link.
Shee!t! That's bigger than the Norfolk Southern terminal in Atlanta... by a lot! That's gotta be it. If you zoom in and look below the lower left parking lot, you'll see the "covered wagons" that transport the cars. The rail sidings are dead ended... ramps are to the right for offloading. BINGO!
Forget about your car my friend , i just hijacked the truck and it's now
:clap2:
