Ah man. Let's hope that's not my case. I guess at this point, what's another week of waiting. Been waiting since 3/21 when I placed my order. Thanks for the heads up.
Got window sticker today

Congrats...I know you have been a long time. Won't be long now.
Congratulation. :beer:
With your luck, I hope you double checked your color and options?

I did. Everything looks perfect!
I'm getting pretty ticked that folks who ordered after me are getting their cars before me; I ordered 6/13/12. It should be first in, first out with only a very few exceptions. Farmboy, I don't know how you and others that ordered much earlier then me are able to be so patient especially when folks are getting their cars in HALF the time as you. Since I saved quite a bit under MSRP I'm unable to really push my dealer to much to push their rep for more info and a build date. Which btw, the Ford rep who covers N. AL either sucks or does not care for my small country dealer.
It's not necessarily 1st in 1st out.
It's based on dealer relationships with the dealer rep- the number of options the car has- and the pecking order the dealer is in- based off previous mustang sales performance.
If you ordered 6/13- I wouldn't expect a build til late August early September. I ordered my car a full 96 days before you- and received my car 25 days before you ordered- they needed to build all of those out- and then figure out where you fit in the parameters I listed in the paragraph above.
Dont take what I'm saying the wrong way- just telling you how it seems to work
Definitely not Chris and I appreciate the information. I was only saying I wish they did first in first out ordering. As in they produced the first allocations they got with the exceptions being due to options that were on hold, etc.
I thought you got yours in just 8 weeks from order to delivery but again I know you had a fantastic dealer and rep.
I ordered 3/21 and it was my dealers second allocation. So I totally understand where you're coming from. Seeing all these people receive their cars is killing me.
I agree. It should have been 1st come 1st serve.
I had 8 weeks from order to built
Order 3/7
Built 5/7
Delivered 5/18 - w 21 miles on it and a "QC" sticker- so my car was one of the ones tested by for in the initial run.
Picked it up 5/22
I think you'll see a VIN soon
Congrats for you! But how the flip does that work? I ordered my car 5/3 and still no date, no vin, "order processing" status with a possibility of a late sept delivery.
That is awesome man! And thanks, I hope so too!
You need to have your dealer check with their rep. Reps know the quarter in which your car will build. They very likely also know the month as well.
So if you walk into a dealer with an allocation (that happens to have a 3rd quarter build), then it will be built before someone who ordered from a dealer with a 4th quarter build. These details are known by zone reps for sure.
At the end of the day, it is NOT first in, first out. It is based on allocation ordering.
I ordered mine also on 5/3 and am unscheduled as well. I had Deysha check my order to make sure something wasn't screwed up....she said its ok and to just be patient. This is apparently normal for SVT cars.
