XR64T Are we there yet? Donating Members 703 Member For: 21y 3m 11d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, NSW Posted 16/11/03 04:20 AM Share Posted 16/11/03 04:20 AM Order March 03... Dealer said to expect about 8 weeks.Delivered End June, 03.... I was very dissapointed and the information coming through was very limited.I think I was in the same boat as VG, I got a very special price because of the company I work for (which was a little below National Fleet pricing). They really seemed to be trying to get me to cancel, so they could sell it for full retail off the lot. At one stage the story changed completely and I was pretty sure that my original order was given to someone else who was willing to pay more.... Can be sure though.Cheers.

If anything it will only make the wait even harder as you can see it but still can't touch it. What specs have you gone for with your car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scootre Guests Posted 22/03/04 07:11 PM Share Posted 22/03/04 07:11 PM Ford can call the trucking company and give you delivery details from there. This is using just a SIDO because at that stage, the car has no rego. They did for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
