Incidentally, I got my car from Power Ford via a cancelled order. ... I was extremely lucky.Brian Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/4660-extended-wait-for-my-xr6t/page/2/#findComment-36554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrew Member 65 Member For: 21y 10m 24d Posted 16/07/03 08:48 AM Share Posted 16/07/03 08:48 AM Heya, I ordered my XR6T way back on the 12th of February and have gone through a very similar experience, however here in Melbourne. And guess what I still don't own an XR6T!!!!That sadi I have been ringing the dealer every week for the past two and can now say that my XR went onto the production line YESTERDAY!!! WOOHOOO!!!The car will be delivered to the dealer on or near the 24th of July, by the time tehy tint the windows, fit the tow bar, send the car to Herrods for the suspension and do the other bits at the dealer, I think it would be safe to say I should have the car at the start of August.So, that would equate to a 5 and a half month wait, when I ordered the car I was told it would be a April build and April delivery car!!!!!!!!!!!Not too many sleeps now though!!

Guest Talon Guests Posted 16/07/03 09:19 AM Share Posted 16/07/03 09:19 AM I ordered one from Power Ford on April 14, Have been told its at FPV and to expect delivery in about 7 - 10 working days (I have been chasing them up every week for the last two months............)When I first ordered it was explained to me that being a part of a 10 dealer network that I would get a car fairly quick............ then I found this website and found out what the real delivery times are. Started pushing from that point on. (only got confirmation it was at FPV yesterday)On a side note, whats the turn around time at FPV?Dave Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/4660-extended-wait-for-my-xr6t/page/2/#findComment-36562 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has been on order for 3 mths and I was expecting to get it in August. I have now had a call from the dealer telling me that I will have to wait until October. that's a 6 mth wait from the time I ordered it and paid a deposit. he tells me that there allocation of cars has been cut from 6 a month to 3. This is a big dealership and I am not sure if he is telling me porky pies or not. If anyone else has a car on order from this dealer or any other dealer in sydney and has been told a similar story let me know. 3-4 mths wait seems to be the average from what I read on this forum. 6 mths is just f******g ridiculous. :( sh*te I ordered mine back in April, expecting delivery any day now. Its a fleet car too, so I assume it would take longer than private sale???

Guest BarraTurbo6 Guests Posted 16/07/03 04:20 PM Share Posted 16/07/03 04:20 PM Whats wrong with you guys, there is currently 2 XR6Ts in the forsale section of this forumThese guys are so keen to sell, you guys are complaining (rightfully so) about delivery timesSurely for a little sacrifice in not quite getting the exact options you want straight off, you will save thousands of dollars off the new price and have already had the little gremlins ironed outCancel the dealer order and buy one of these bargins Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/4660-extended-wait-for-my-xr6t/page/2/#findComment-36620 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about to squeak very loudly.Mvec - Which dealer did you order from?I may be being pushed back down the list because I am a fleet buyer or because I have not been a pest. Either way I want answers and I will get them. very Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/4660-extended-wait-for-my-xr6t/page/2/#findComment-36663 Share on other sites More sharing options...
