Cam Member 397 Member For: 22y 10d Location: Brisbane Posted 26/04/03 11:11 AM Share Posted 26/04/03 11:11 AM I ordered my XR6T in January and had a confimred build date of 26th April with an expected delivery of 2nd or 3rd week of May.On Wednesday of this week my family am I took my current car to the dealer to let them have have a look at it for a trade in.As we approached I pointed out a Blood Orage XR?? (couldnt tell from a distance what sort) in the dealer driveway. I explained to my wife that is the same colour as I had ordered. As we pulled into the driveway I noticed it was a Turbo....hmmm... that when I started to get excited. I was thinking "how many Blood Orange XR6Ts could this dealer have waiting delivery... So I jumped out and had a look.... does it have leather....yesside airbags....yespremium sound....yesBy now I was pretty sure. Then I noticed all the stickers on the window, one of them had a SIDO on it......it was my car!!!It turned out that it had arrived that morning and it will be detailed and accesoriesed ready for delivery by next Wednesday.The salesman even gave me the keys and told me "you can take it for a bit of a squirt if you like". So off I went. It only had 22kms on the clock.He told me that Ford have been having all sorts of build issues that have resulted in May cars being delivered in early April..... So fo reveryone still waiting this is a little ray of hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FlashingRED Guests Posted 26/04/03 01:54 PM Share Posted 26/04/03 01:54 PM Nice to hear Cam. Now that's a bonus ! ! !I too, have a confirmed 14th April build date, my dealerhas told me a month to delivery.( Ordered March 11. )I hope I'm as fortunate as you to get del. so quick mate.As it is , we were originally told at time of ordering, that 3 months would be the likely wait.That was'nt hard to understand, being as popular as our choice of excellence has proved to be.( Just cant hang on much longer anways, so this is welcome news , that's for sure.. )Enjoy your new beast, and may thus machine reward your choice.

Ordered end of January devlivery end of April... that's 3 months, sounds about normal from what most people are getting. The bonus is I was expecting closer to four months.

I ordered my turbo ute 16th Dec and took delivery 7th Feb and Ford were closed for nearly 3 weeks of that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
