Was due to take delivery of my GT this week, been chasing the dealer all week for info but he never had any updates.
Emailed Ford Online Sales today and they came back with the below response. Technical Hold what could that me for

I am writing regarding your request about the delivery time for your vehicle. The vehicle has arrived our Dagenham location and is currently under Technical Hold. The new Estimated time of arrival for your vehicle will now be approximately between the last week of October and the first week of November. We appreciate you so much for your patience.

Now i need to decide what to do, is it worth waiting for a car that obviously already has problems or damage!

Technical hold could mean any number of things. This is a 6-7 week hold. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

I believe it "technically" has problems or damage... ?

Many of us emphasize with your situation. My 2021 became a 2022, started production on 1/17, completed on 3/1, then sat in lot for 2 months under Ford's FILO methodology (first-in-last-out) and was delivered 50.4 weeks after ordering.

Hang in there!

Ford Dealer contacted me today, told me the GT is undergoing extra checks in Dagenham and they will update me further on Tuesday.
