UPDATED MUSTANG DELIVERY TIMING ESTIMATE

[dubster99]

Contact you dealer, but it will be after 9/22

So the build date won't show until 9/22, or the build date will be after 9/22?

No, just thought it may mean that, but Tricia's PM makes me believe it's retail. She didn't seem like she wasn't sure in her reply.

That doesnt mean anything i dont think. mine is S355, but I have priority 10 so its not stock.

My priority is 10 as well.

production is full until 9/22 i think. So if you got your vin, you will be scheduled for a build date on or after 9/22. Some people today are seeing a build week of 10/6 so :shrug:

 

[dubster99]

Yeah, I'm just wondering how long it takes for the date to show up on COTUS...not what the build date will be. Week of 10/6 would be a great day late Bday present.

Is this within Ford's dealership rules? According to my dealer, any car with a retail purchase agreement MUST be placed as a retail order. They refused to place my X-Plan order as stock due to this restriction.

It's actually very open. Ford leaves dealerships a whole lot of leeway. They could order a stock car and sell to you at x plan, or invoice, or even give it to you if they wanted. That's between you and the dealership. Ordering retail only puts your name on it from the day it's ordered. The price is still between you and the dealership.

Technically, even x plan participating dealers are not required to x plan the mustang, or even any ordered car. Those decision are strictly up to the dealer. X plan requirements are that it be chosen from dealer stock, and only things like fusions, trucks, etc. I don't remember the actual list. Disclaimer: it's been a long time since I read the rules from ford. Could very well have changed, but I don't think so since many people are not able to get x plan on same car from other dealers.

^ This, it's completely up to the dealer weather to accept x-plan or not.
They could even turn it down on retail. My last order was stock & so is this one, both x-plan

You could buy stock with x-plan

True! I am buying mine at invoice.
As you can see I've been awaiting shipment since 8/27.

You guys don't understand. Yes any order can be sold at X plan price. But if a dealer puts the order in as an X-Plan order (order type: X) it is a retail order not stock. That is what mine is and I ordered May 20th. No VIN yet.

 

[dubster99]

I ordered mine as dealer stock and also got X plan.

That makes sense. Can anyone with a stock x plan order check on their dora and see if there is an X on order type?

Patience....long suffering.

My name is also on order. See VOC below.

^ This is also correct.
If they place an x-plan order as "stock" it won't indicate x-plan anywhere except for on the written contract that you sign.

yes, when Tricia from ford service looked mine up she saw that it was ordered as x plan and priority 10 so mine was definitely ordered as retail.

What my guy did for me (he's the fleet/ordering manager) is put my order in first as a stock order. Then he did a secondary order that he didn't put through as X-plan, just to give me a second dora with the x-plan price.
