TurboCrazy Member 70 Member For: 21y 7m 13d Location: Cairns FNQ Posted 26/09/03 11:22 PM Share Posted 26/09/03 11:22 PM Yep Just happened to me. I am stoked but. Mine was three weeks early obviously not as early as yours but.The reason was that someone else ordered the exact same spec car but their finance fell over so they said I could have it. Of course I took it and had the biggest smile on my face all the way from Brisbane to Cairns. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waz_j Member 26 Member For: 21y 6m 15d Location: Parklea - Sydney Posted 15/11/03 03:19 AM Share Posted 15/11/03 03:19 AM I ordered mine mid September and was initially told it could be up to three months. In the second week of October I got a call from the dealer and was told 31st October. I asked whether the car was coming direct from factory or had they found one at another dealership and was told straight from the factory with Oct 03 build date.It was ready to collect right on time on Fri 31st and the build date is definitely OCt 03.

If your dealer is honest you shouldnt have any problems, if you end up in a situation like VG with his dealer though, l could imagine it could get very annoying. A good dealer should have nothing to hide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford was playing cloak and dagger because apparently they ran out of leather to trim the seats, but wouldn't tell dealer's what the hold up was. The dealer actually asked me to ring Ford becasue they were just getting stonewalled. Ford Customer was a mixed bag. Two of the people I dealt with were useless, one was the single most competant customer service person I have ever dealt with.Mine ordered through Strapp Ford Doncastor, really good service there, despite initially being told four weeks, and then having the car take eight. Not the dealer's fault though.I think I aged 10 years in that extra four weeks though!Overall, a very stressful time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
