Finally have my VIN

[DukeNukem1]

Is there any info I can collect knowing my VIN now? They are telling me 4/2/16 they should have my car at dealer, being built on 03/28/16. Its base CO with black stripes and car cover. Paid $1000 allocation and $1000 more so I think its really $2000 ADM just calling a thousand of it the allocation fee(real?).
:banana::banana:

In order for a dealer to participate in the Shelby program and have minimum of 2 allocations (1 for each year) the dealer had to pay $1000 to $2000 dollars (I forget the actual number).

It seems they are passing the fee to you.

I can live with it, even though its a base car, the engine and look of the car was what I wanted!

Good news! 2k adm isn't too terrible, I wouldn't feel bad at all about that. Most dealers have 5 to 10k adm on their 350s, but won't be suprised that they start coming down later this year to no adm or maybe up to 5. There will be the dealers that don't care and keep them at 10 to 20 adm... lol... oh well!
Now you can track where it's at and what's happening next. Me...i'm just a fish out of water right now.

Last year I could have gotten a gt350 for 2k adm. That's exactly what the dealer told me. You pay the fee and you can have the car. I just told them, " I'll wait it out."
It's something that I didn't need right now and I wanted to actually see if any changes would come about.

If your build date is 3/28 I would not count on it being to the dealer within a week. Delivery estimates are typically three weeks to a month out from the build date.

yea it seemed kinda close to me

Granted SW ohio isn't far from Detroit, but won't be quite that quick. My car was about 7 weeks from VIN to delivery (VIN on 12/9/15 IIRC, built on 1/19, and delivery was 2/1/16)

Some cars will ship right away after being built and some have just sat and sat. Also the rail company becomes another factor. My local railyard was only about 15 miles from me and my dealer

I'm sure it shows an ETA within a few days of build date. Once it gets built the ETA will get adjusted.

IF they go by convoy its possible. Mine was built 1/12 and arrived on 1/20. Another guy also with the same blend had his arrive a day earlier. The truck transporting mine broke down and was repaired in the depot before my car was delivered, otherwise it was due 1/18

congratulations man!!! cant wait till I put my order in. I just really hope they don't pull a 10k adm out their ass when the car arrives.
