UPDATED MUSTANG DELIVERY TIMING ESTIMATE

[Seabee1973]

Well I've been on order since 09/26 but no VIN yet. But I figured I wouldn't have one for at least a month and probably wouldn't see the car until late November early December. Just my guess. But I'm in no hurry. I'm in Florida so I'd have no problem driving in the winter!

Jump in line guy.... mine has been on order since May.... quite a few people have had it on order for some time now

Reminder for those calculating VINs for use with COTUS, ETIS, and window sticker sites. There are now additional vehicle identifiers in the VIN fields (convertibles added):

Vin starts with 1FA6

Next 4 charcters are the model and engine:

P8AM - V6 Fastback
P8EM - V6 Convertible
P8TH - I4 Fastback and Premium Fastback
P8UH - I4 Premium Convertible
P8CF - V8 Fastback and Premium Fastback
P8FF - V8 Premium Convertible
P8RF - V8 Limited Edition Fastback

Note there may be a code assigned to the one off LE convertible but I don't know
what it is. Likewise for the GT350 and the 5.2 V8 if it is released this model year.

Next character is the checksum (use Alton's VIN Calculator to find it)

Next two characters are F5 (F = 2015 and 5 = Flat Rock)

Next 6 characters are the sequence number

500001 - 501964 are reserved for the LE Fastbacks
2------ were used for pre-production cars
300001 - 3xxxxx are production cars other than the LE

Thanks for sharing. I was secretly hoping that you would post up something like, Ford is now scheduling Mustang orders for week of 10/9. The status quo isn't bad news right? ;)

Thanks for sharing.

Are we still unsure if that is ONLY for convertibles or if they just start on the 16th, and Fastbacks resume as well? If I missed it my apologies I can barely keep up these days...

Both will be scheduled on 10/16, not just convertibles.

I don't think you missed a definite answer to this, but it sure sounds like both to me. It doesn't say "only" Mustang convertibles will begin scheduling.

No way they will just do convertible runs. I took a plant tour in 2013 at flat rock. I was there for Ford Factory school. Anyway they where building coupes, convertibles, and FUSIONS at the same time lol.

Cool thanks guys, one less thing for me to be mad at

You mean "one more thing to be happy about "

You mean "one more thing to be happy about "

Much to be happy about:

• Final assembly appears to be finally ramping up to significant daily volumes
• Ford is actually doing QC and rejecting cars with serious issues instead of attempting to fix them
• Many cars are in transit now including some QC cars
• Some cars are in customer hands
• At least two forum member reviews to date
• Ford is running Saturday shifts at Flat Rock
• Local dealer advertising for specific VINs are showing up everywhere
• Almost all media reviews are positive in almost all aspects of the car
• Very few reports about price gouging except for the LE
• Convertible orders can now schedule
• No price hike since order banks opened
• Over 50% of forum members have VINs

Please add more as you think of them

so my dealer who I had mine ordered through at first REFUSED trade in of my 2014 Mustang GT Track Pack on a 2015, then they came back with an offer of $23,000. It's a 2014 GT Track Pack Premium, with recaros, shaker 1000, gotta have it green etc. Original MSRP was $42,600. That's over 40% depreciation in less than a year. WOW.

You probably shouldn't use MSRP to calculate depreciation against what a dealer is willing to pay.

A better method is to use the original invoice price and subtract an estimated kick back amount from it (good luck trying to get a dealer to tell you the kick back) and compare that to what the dealer is offering. Dealers buy cars at wholesale. MSRP cannot be compared to what a dealer will offer. You can compare it it to what a private sale will yield.

Wow I got $23,500 from my dealer on my '13 GT w/Brembo's and 26k miles...that was 3 months ago.
