DORA = Dealer Order Receipt Acknowledgment.
I can't track mine for some reason, because my order number is like X001 but on the order confirmation sheet they gave me, it says stock order. Does that mean i get it ahead of the curve also?
At this point, it probably doesn't matter that much. It mattered at the beginning of the production line because the weren't producing any retail Mustangs until after they tweaked the plant to perfection and work out any bugs. They used dealer stock orders to do that. When they start scheduling again, they will be building both stock and hopefully retail (otherwise the retail buyers might storm FRAP and build their own cars!)
If "Retail Orders" will begin to get "scheduled" for a Build in late Sept and Convertibles a month later in late Oct you would think that any day now, legitimate (Clean) Convertible Orders will be accepted with prices on DORA without the error message about (hold) For JOB 2 and missing parts report!
opcorn: On the other side, I do know that we who ordered the first Mustangs, will regularly visit our :ford: -dealers to fix some things they did not fit right. That's the trouble getting a new model in a production line. addle: And I hope that FORD makes a better paint job than Jeep on our white Grand Cherokee! :rant:
I knew people with first off the line 2005s that had ZERO problems. And people with 2006s with a bunch of problems.I hope for you guys on JOB#1 that you get an ESP plan.
Actually the first batch of 2005 mustangs had the fuel tank vaccuum seal issue.
I wonder when they switched to Job 2. :shrug:
Speaking of my own personal experience, I was one of those that Pre-Ordered a 2011 Fiesta SE Hatchback back in Mar of 2010. It was ordered with the Option Power Moon Roof labeled (late availability) too. It arrived "on time",July 20, 2010 with the Dealers first Car Carrier load of new Fiesta`s. My was (not) a Stock Order but a Retail Order using my Ford X-Plan. From day one until the day I traded it in 36 months and 10 days later for a new 2013 Ford SE C-Max Hybrid, the Fiesta had zero defects and no problems and always delivered excellent Fuel Economy (exceeding) the original EPA Sticker estimates. So much for "First year jitters".
I have one of the very first 2012 Focus SEs made in the new body style (purchased 4/11) and have had 90,000 troubls free miles too. I think theyre getting the QC worked out on the new cars now.
An order I place on 8/13 listed Job 2, so somewhere between our order dates. I have since decided to pickup one of the inventory orders from my dealer that is currently "Awaiting Shipment" since nobody knows really (or isn't saying) when Job 2 for Fastbacks is.
