Default Ordering & custom specs!?

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there are there any delays in delivery of factory-built Mustangs, like what happened back in 2005/2006? I had '07 V6 coupe ordered on Monday (11/11) with Priority 10, the dealership had allocation today (Thursday 11/16), and Ford's 800# today says my car has been "serialized and is waiting for a schedule date and eta". I hope I don't have to wait >2 months for my custom built Mustang

TIA!!

ahhh that is the luxury of being lucky enough to find the perfect one at a neighboring dealer. i don't know if there is a back up, but it will be worth the wait, so dont get too upset!

Did you find the perfect Mustang at a nearby dealer? What do you mean by a backup?

Most of the delays were for GT's and verts. You should be OK. and if I remember correctly serializing is the 1st step.

I ordered my 07 Gt on the Oct 12 and got it on the 13th of Nov. The dealership had a priority of 40. Hope this helps.

I ordered back in august and still no update........the dealer says because i ordered the 18in rims it is taking this long.
there reason because they told me there is a supply problem with the 18in rims. can anyone confirm this or is this just some dealer bs story?

I'd say you're on the fast track. To go from ordering to serialized in less than a week is damn quick. Here was my torturous schedule:

Receipt Date: 8/17/2006
Serialize Date: 10/13/2006
Segment Date: 10/13/2006
Sequence Date: 10/25/2006
Blend Date: 11/1/2006
Produced Date: 11/10/2006
Gate Release Date: 11/10/2006
Ship Date: 11/10/2006

Hopefully delivered on Monday, November 20th as per the ERL.

Thanks everyone - yes, it was serialized (what does that mean?) in less than a week, so hopefully I'll have my Mustang before Christmas! [sm=bounceybounce.gif]

As you can see above, I went from serialized to build in 3-4 weeks, so if that is the same timeframe for you it might not happen before Christmas. Also, I believe the plant shuts down for a week in December for the holidays.

Here is some good reading on the whole order to delivery process and tracking.
