10/03/22 Build Week Gang

[minders]

That is what I was thinking too but it has been 4 days already and the status has not changed. Wouldn't that transfer be only a few hours or maybe one day max? Is there a way to confirm this?

Just for reference, mine sat for 3 days at ramp 6R Richards-gebaur and then Jack Cooper took it to Muncie, KS then there were another 3 days after that for it to be marked shipped on the 2nd train. You'll probably be taking the same train route as Donnieboy over in our build week group 9/19. Might want to ask him how his tracking went. His just showed up today or yesterday. Also, the VVR is super slow to update with this information.

I was told mine was in kansas city and jack Cooper provided the last transport. Would this likely mean that it is past the "ramp 6r" that has seemed to be the sight of many of the delays?

got email from dealer:
"The vehicle transport was last updated yesterday (10/24) and shows at the railyard in Missouri. From there it has to transfer to a railyard in Kansas, and from there it comes to California. From what I've witnessed lately, the timing from Kansas to California is about 3 weeks.

I imagine the delivery date estimate will get pushed back slightly once it leaves Kansas. So we're probably looking more toward the end of November. It's possible it could be sooner, but I just haven't seen that happening lately. "

Any update from those that are scheduled to get delivered in October? Are they on track to be delivered on time?

 

[mache_matt]

Dude! where's my car. Any deliveries yet on this Build week?

No deliveries yet .. may start getting some next week

 

[mache_matt]

According to KCS, my railcar arrived at KC.
Although Ford chat does not seem to have any knowledge of it.. yet
Hopefully the transfer to Norfolk Southern is relatively quick ..

Ford Chat wasn't able to give me a meaningful update as well. My estimated delivery window opens tomorrow, but looking at other Chicago area deliveries, I expect it more like Nov 5.

No movement here. My delivery estimate window was 10/25 - 10/31. Ford Chat's last update has my vehicle at Ramp 6R in Richards-gebaur, MO with an estimate delivery date to the dealer at 10/31. I hope that's true as I have 2 really great offers for my current vehicle that expire on 11/1. Cutting it close ?

Where did you get the offers from? I’ll have to start looking around once it gets closer to my delivery date.

Heard that Vroom and carvana have been giving good offers earlier this year .. but not sure if the situation has changed now

Mine shipped on 10/10 and as per this morning 10/26 FC - it was delivered to ramp 6R for pickup at Richards Gebaur MO on 10/24 3pm.

YMMV and it will depend on your vehicle. I am selling a 2014 Mazda 3 Hatchback with 99,500 miles in great condition.

Driveway - $6,400 (srsly?)
Vroom - $8,627
Carvana - $9,439
KBB's Instant Cash offer was $11,475 but then they assign you a couple dealers for a physical inspection.
KBB (Audi dealer) - $10,500
KBB (Jeep dealer) - $11,355

I will be getting a quote from Ford once the Mach-E leaves Missouri. There is tax benefit from trading in a vehicle, but Ford will need to give me more than $10,500.

Ford chat told me today that car was in transit from Argentine KS. That made me very happy since many have seemed to have gotten delayed there. Some from 8/29 build going to same location said that was last update before hearing from dealer. That person just got there MME today so about 2 months from build week. I guess we will see if that timing holds true for our build week. Im scheduled 10/31-11/6.

This waiting game is getting too much. And I don't trust the dealerships to relay information upfront.
