I'm proud to say that our coveted '03 Cobra 'broke my cherry' Soon, I will be the proud owner of my first Cobra. Not only will this be my first Cobra, this is the first time I've ever ordered a vehicle and I'm not familiar with the process. I'm looking for a little insight into what I can expect. Don't get me wrong; I'm getting some information from my salesman but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask the question on this forum. After all, from what I can see, we (most everybody on this forum) seems to know/have access to more information that most dealers...
Here's the scoop...
~March 9th
I ordered a mineral gray 'vert. According to my SVT salesman, the order was 'firmed up' with SVT shortly after (~March 11th). I was told that this was the first 'custom' order placed from this particular dealer and that mine would be the first car delivered to the dealer. First question; is there any truth to this?
~April 15th
I received a call from my salesman. I was told that my car has been scheduled to be built on the 'Week of' May 27th. Last 4 #'s of the vin are 1058. Second question; is this considered my build number?
Third question -
I spoke with my salesman tonight to find out if SVT has contacted him about building my vehicle... I was told that he hasn't been contacted by SVT. He said that usually, SVT contacts the dealer ~1 week before the car is actually built. Has anybody else received a call 1 week before their car was built? So far, I haven't read any posts on this forum or BlueOvalNews.com where anybody claims that they got this type of call...
Finally... Last question...
Under 'normal' circumstances, once a car is built, approximately how log does it take before the car would be delivered to the east coast (Pittsburgh PA)?
If you can't tell already, I'm so damn excited about this. It's seems like it's been an eternity since I placed my order...
At first, I only drove my wife crazy with my obsession with the '03 Cobra. Now, I'm starting to go crazy waiting for it arrive
Any information would be appreciated.
