(I hope)I don't know what dealer you are buying your car from but they suck.When I orderd my car they told me what date they had allocated on the line for a particular vehicle (eg first week in March) and they were correct.Ford notified them (via system) the vehicle was built, dispatch was this week and delivery next.I don't like giving out names over the forum so just drop me an email and we can check to see if it's the same dealer.I have no problems so far, they have been very good. All the best,Creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TRACK Guests Posted 10/03/05 06:15 AM Share Posted 10/03/05 06:15 AM (edited) Same here,My car was 11 weeks overdue, dealer didn't call once. Two guys who work with me ordered XR8's the first was 5 weeks overdue and came up with the wrong wheels on it, and the other was 6 weeks overdue. The dealers didn't call, they didn't care, the only way we found out what was going on was by rining them.Hope your pride and joy goes well for you, because you should see how much they care if you need something fixed!CheersTrack Edited 10/03/05 06:16 AM by TRACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beside the dilema of what one to choose from a preference viewpoint. Has anyone got recent delivery expectations for the 3 models?I am in NSW and obviously ordering through Fleet..Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a search as there was an update somewhere on the expected delivery dates.XR8, T, or N/A is probably a 6 week delivery depending on options etc.Good luck.

The vehicle was done through leaseplan however I placed a deposit myself and made the order to expidite the delivery,Cheers Cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbjunior99 Member 4,359 Member For: 22y Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 15/03/05 09:54 AM Share Posted 15/03/05 09:54 AM I have got a MkII GT on order. Got a call from the dealer today to say that it will be ready in the last week of this month. Just went into FPV today. If it does turn up in the last week of this month, that will make it 5 weeks. When I placed the order they said between 6 and 8 weeks .. which is a hell of a lot better than when I order my T. That one took 3 months!!

That makes the decision a bit easier.. Not Waiting months.My AU XR6 is in the panel shop at the moment.. Had a fight with a truck and a pole.. Came close to a write off. Now driving a Suzuki Baleno, I miss my Ford... 3 weeks to get the AU back, then more waiting for a new one...Decision would be easier if they had a Turbo Territory.....
