Guest Northerly Guests Posted 17/05/03 08:42 AM Share Posted 17/05/03 08:42 AM I am interested in hearing how many Estimated Delivery Date's members have had. That is, how many deleivery dates were you promised before you actually took possesion of your XR6T.I ordered ny vecchicle on 13/1/03 and so far I have been advised of the following EDD's:10 April 200324 April 20039 May 200324 May 2003On two occassions I have received an email from the leasing company (LeasePlan) 2 days before the EDD saying the vehicle has been delayed at the factory. In relation to the 9 May EDD I found out on the day that the dealer (Rex Gorrel - based in Geelong, Victoria) forgot to advise of a futher delay.As the owner of an XR6 AU2 VCT I know that Ford service can be poor at times (e.g the clunking diff problems was never fixed), but becaus I think the XR models are far superior to anything Expensive Daewoo produces I have decided to go for the XR6T (Mercury Silver, Auto, Premium Sound, Leather, Sunroof). Its just a pity that Ford and the dealer cannot be upfront about the real delivery date. Why create expectations you cannot meet.

So pretty good for timing. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/2979-how-many-edds-have-you-had/#findComment-23044 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So pretty good for timing. I was told the end of April, as an agreed estimate, then the 5th of May. Ended up being the 15th, but I didn't hassle the dealer, just got the info off a FF member :D It's hard to accept "Be patient", but as another ex-AUII VCT XR6, you'll be so happy when you finally get to drive it that you'll forget all about the wait.Lightning....

richdave SLOJAM, Gone but not forgotten Lifetime Members 1,841 Member For: 22y 6m 27d Gender: Male Location: Outer east - Melbourne Posted 18/05/03 07:32 AM Share Posted 18/05/03 07:32 AM The first dealer I ordered thru had 28th Feb, followed a week or so AFTER I ordered with a late April, or maybe even May/June delivery. Needless to say I changed dealers and the first date was 30 Jan, then revised to 19th Feb. I picked up the car on the 19th Feb :D Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/2979-how-many-edds-have-you-had/#findComment-23145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Glove Team Blueprint Member 532 Member For: 22y 26d Posted 18/05/03 12:08 PM Share Posted 18/05/03 12:08 PM Two weeks ago I got told 28 August as arranged through LeasePlan. My dealer told me they had over-estimated the time so they wouldnt have to keep changing it. So lets hope Aug 28 at the latest Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/2979-how-many-edds-have-you-had/#findComment-23265 Share on other sites More sharing options...
