HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 22y 2m Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 17/01/03 01:09 AM Share Posted 17/01/03 01:09 AM When did you order it?When did I order it? Hmmm, can I think back that far? :D Ordered it around late Sept. (Private not fleet BTW).1st Phantom XR was delivered to Bryan Byrt Ford last week in November (WITH THE WRONG INTERIOR - Plexis Grey, not Phantom)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Looked at the Plexis grey and sorry to the people that like it but it was no match compared to the plexis Phantom interior by a long shot. We knew we would be pissed off if we accepted the car "as is". Was told the next build date wasn't until Feb-March and was not happy. Insisted on a few free extras, negotiated for free stuff, scuff plates, etc...got what we wanted as a compromise. They tell us that a biuld for an XR had become available in January so here we are. Leaving Melbourne on the 24th this month. Now if anything happens to the car in transit, guess who may possibly appear on the news as a wanted serial killer!!!

This is a big improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that you get to mid Feb and it then becomes late April!l dont know how you can get any sort of 'meaningful' assurance on this though :blank: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMoffat Member 744 Member For: 22y 27d Posted 17/01/03 11:06 AM Share Posted 17/01/03 11:06 AM Thanks Mondie dear friend - I was all full of the milk of human kindness for a half an hour or so...Eventually it will be worth it. The car is a vision as such, fast but comfortable with leather, sun roof, big sound and the usual assortment of smaller extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only have to wait two weeks and you can break your contract and buy an XR6T off the floor as there seems to be a few around. But of course you may not get EXACTLY what you want, and if it is late March then its not too long to wait.l'm an impatient bastard so l dont know what l would do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrislak Donating Members 400 Member For: 22y 9d Location: Sydney Posted 20/01/03 06:50 AM Share Posted 20/01/03 06:50 AM I too have been getting the runaround from my dealer, I have requested for him to supply me with a SIDO number a couple of times now and nothing. Prior to leaving a deposit I was told that a car was in production and if I left the deposit that day it would be mine, SO WHERE IS MY SIDO NUMBER, if I find out that the dealer was lying to me I may consider running him over.Car dealer already have a bad rep, without needing to totally pis.... me off.WAKE UP FORD, YOUR COMPARING YOUR PRODUCT TO EUROPEAN MANUFACTURES, BUT you are employiong a bunch of f... wits to sell your products.I cannot stand being lied too, with me it's what you see is what you get.

I was told that a car was in production and if I left the deposit that day it would be mine, SO WHERE IS MY SIDO NUMBER....as far as I know, no SIDO means it is not even scheduled for production since the SIDO is the build number.perhaps someone from Ford can confirm this?
