Waiting room

[Escape2Bronco]

Finally got the "YOUR VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED FOR PRODUCTION" email with a build date of June 20th. Too late for me to care. I have waited too long and moved on. This one will be available for someone else. Gone.

That’s too bad. Agreed, at some point you just want something.

Congrats Jubaea1!
I however regret to inform you, that you are out of the running as a potential winner for the "Has Anyone Been Waiting Longer Than Me?" contest. You gave it a good run, coming in at an unfortunate 7.25 months (order to build est.).

I had finally received a production date of early May, which was then moved to 4/18 (after ordering late October). I checked the tracker today and it's showing "In Production" with the window sticker available so that was surprising!

After rebuilding the same spec today after price increases took effect, I'll be saving just under $5k under MSRP when I take delivery, not counting any equity I've got in my stop-gap BS/OB. Worth the wait for sure.

Joining the thread, congratulations to everyone that received their vehicles and build dates! Just put my order in this month, so just starting my wait.

Hopefully Ford is getting parts in and getting better at scheduling during these unusual times, and hopefully you benefit from that with a quick turnaround.

VIN is normally assigned when it is scheduled to a week, but with everything being as dumb as it is right now their system may not be working in a normal manner. Having a VIN is a step forward, so rejoice in that at least.

Still no email so I called the dealer and my build week is 5/30! Finally got scheduled. The interesting thing is that i placed my order 1/22 and was confirmed within a day or so and I changed to an OB on 2/8. The dealer claimed that I "kept my original place in line" but the Ford website shows an order date of 2/8. Nonetheless at least its scheduled! Hoping for no more delays.

It's been a long wait since 11-27-21
Im finally scheduled for production

Almost went with Richmond Ford myself but ended up ordering from Sheehy only because I figured they were a larger volume dealer so that might speed things up a bit.

Great news!

Sheehy was marking up over list when I was trying to get one after my first one broke. However, I don't think they were one of the dealers that were marking up custom orders, causing the orderers to walk away in disgust but maybe check ahead of time to make sure you're locked in. I know there were two dealers I was working with in the larger DC Metro area that were doing this. Detestable.

They agreed to do Z plan on my order - it’s actually at the dealership right now, I’m picking it up when I get back from vacation. Fingers crossed there’s no funny business with all of that!

Oh, wow. Did you do the same build with the price increases to see how much you're saving over current MSRP?

Just did it! Fully loaded OBX looks like $39,485 with the increases, Z plan price on my order was $35,486.

It's a great feeling, isn't it?

I’ve got my fingers crossed for tomorrow.

My fingers are sore and I still don’t have an email.
