I got a VIN! I got a VIN

[Fuquinay]

I ordered my Heritage in robin's egg blue back in April. Meanwhile, I kept tabs on everything that was arriving within 100 miles. Finding a car with a moonroof is next to impossible, and that's one of my three needs (heated and adjustable seats are the others).

I got a build date of July 3 from the dealer, but my email address was never added to the order, so I have gotten nothing directly from Ford. It wasn't until I pestered my sales guy that I learned my date was changed to July 24. (Note: I am now working with his manager.)

Yesterday, I called to see if there was news, and my car has a VIN. It's listed under Primary Status as "In Production," though the status is "sent to plant."

Does this mean my car is on track to be delivered in the next three to four weeks? Because my 12-year-old Subaru Forester's AC has been broken all summer, and now I have a piece of steel in one of my year-old tires. I am READY.

Wait—it was shipped JUNE 23rd? And it still hasn’t arrived?

I was told delivery is typically three to four weeks from the build date.

Yes it was.....but remember i live in the far reaches of the earth....NL Canada.

It has arrived should be coming home Monday or Tuesday next week.

Congrats! Unless the Cartel hijacks the train, you should have your Heritage soon.
I have a 23 BL scheduled for week of 7/31. I'll be curious to see your delivery time.

Well, I keep checking the status like a monkey pressing a button for more cocaine. Last week, it said week of 24th, in progress. Now it says week of 28th. I don’t know if it means they delayed it again or if there is just a weekly update.

Annoying.

Mine was built on 2/27; shipped on 3/3; arrived at the dealer in Granger, IA on 3/15. That was only 16 days from built to arrived. Now, it took another couple of weeks for me to get to Iowa to get it and drive it back. That was so much fun. Can't wait to do it again.
