Default Factory Build Time

I just ordered my new black on black GT which will be replacing my '03 this past Tuesday, and it will be a factory order. My dealer told me that Ford has recently implemented a new process where they try and get them built within 3 weeks. I'm not sure that'll actually happen.

Just wondering what you guys have experienced for wait times if you had a 2010 factory order?

Thanks.

I ordered mine about 4 weeks ago and FordEngineer helped me out a lot with explaining the whole process. Our cars only take a day or two to get built, the biggest delay is the waiting time while your car is in que or the time it takes for delivery. Im hoping to see mine get here by Mid-September. That three week turnaround deal sounds too good to be true, although you never know..good luck!

Seems like my dealer didn't get any allocation for the next month or so. They basically said that they couldn't really commit to a date however it may be another 8 weeks or so before I see my stang, but no guarantees. Funny that before I put my deposit down, the salesperson was talking about Ford's new 3 week turnaround build time.

There's 2 dealers in my city and mine is the smaller of the 2, however went with them because I bought from them before.

They gave me the number to the regional rep, and suggest that I call him. Will that really do any good? I'm thinking I should have gone to the bigger dealership that sells more stangs. Am I the only one to think that this allocation system is really messed up and unfair to the customer especially now with the state of the auto sector and economy?!

So I FINALLY got my VIN number this past Saturday. Aside from 06StangGT, does anyone have any current examples of what the typical build wait time is once the VIN is assigned?

I'm getting restless, can you tell?!

Thanks.
