9/5 Build Week Thread

[priext]

Picked it up today!

Here was my experience at Apple Ford of Red Lion in PA:

The dealer was able to honor both the original MSRP and plan. So that was a big win off the bat not have to deal with waiting for a $2000 price protection check that may have never shown up.

Then some roadbumps...they had no idea what Ford Options was and almost had me signing lease paperwork but I reiterated "I do NOT want to lease the vehicle". I showed them the basic Ford Options web page and then they dissappeared for a while investigating. They came back stating they were unable to do ford options due to limitations with their system and would be a MONTH wait if I insisted on that route. The interest in this Options plan was communicated 2 months before vehicle arrived via email exchange so it wasn't a last minute thing on my part.

Waiting any longer was not an option for me so I was able convince them to up the trade in by 500$ to compensate for the missed options incentive. Still a loss on my end of $500 but I'll take it with all of the other horror stories I have heard.

Lastly I was shown a 3.9% interest rate for traditional financing. Asked for Vincent from time of order to get what I thought would have been 2.7%. Ended up getting 1.9 @ 60mo.

Also, had to remind them doc fee was capped at 100 for xplan.

Overall, not a terrible experience and excited that the 11 months wait is over!

Congratulations. Your Mache looks great. Thank you for detailing the experience at the dealer.

My car arrived at the dealer on Friday. They are in the process of completing the PDI. Hoping it will be done today or tomorrow for me to pick it up.

I am wondering if anyone from this build week has had their car leave MO yet? Mine has been sitting at ramp 6R for about 2 weeks now (9/19 build week).

Stuck there too. Chat and dealer are useless as to why and I got bumped to 2nd week of November.

Seems like I'm in the same boat

What was your original ETA?

10/9 - 10/16

10/9 - 10/16

basically it seems like any cars west of the Mississippi are stuck in KC... man this is painful

Just got an email from Ford saying it was time to complete my purchase, and it has a check mark on the shipped. Does that mean it finally arrived at my dealer?

I've got a delivery date between tomorrow and November 4 but my vehicle has been sitting in Missouri for a couple of weeks now. Called the dealership earlier today and the status hasn't changed. Based on that data, is it realistic still expect delivery in the next week?

Unfortunately probably not, if your dealer is helpful you can see if they can track via vinview and possibly give you automatic txt updates with that system, that would give the realtime location

From my experience reading here, I thought that email and checkmark does mean your dealer has the car. Often it arrives randomly with no shipping updates or warnings.

Did your vehicle information in Ford chat go from the dreaded ramp 6R to it suddenly being at your dealer (e.g. no Ford Chat data to show it was in transit after 6R)? Did you get your car? That would offer some glimmer of hope for the rest of us in the mountain west with cars sitting at 6R.
