Guest P'cisT Guests Posted 18/07/03 06:42 AM Share Posted 18/07/03 06:42 AM Over a month now, and still no SIDO for me. Dealer expects the delivery to be pushed back a month. Have tried ring Ford Customer Care, but the stubbon guy on the other end of the phone would not say anything, and that I can only get SIDO when my dealer decides to give it to me. He couldnt even give me an estimate.Not happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have spoken to the sales manager and expressed my anger. He has told me he will see what can be done and will personally ring me back Monday afternoon. I doubt I will get any joy.

At the beginning of this they were expecting a september build. On friday (4 or so weeks after order) I went to the dealer to ask whether my SIDO has come through and they didn't have it. However I was assured by the salesman that my car WILL be a September build. It's just a matter of which 10 day slot in the month my car is put in. He also said that his dealership "usually" gets allocated the first 10 days of the month. All that said, I am still very unsure. No SIDO number, no set build date. Oh well. I hope the 1 month wait so far is 1/3 :D of the wait rather than 1/4 or even 1/5 of the wait so far. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chief Member 166 Member For: 21y 7m 4d Location: Melbourne Posted 20/07/03 04:51 AM Share Posted 20/07/03 04:51 AM Oh man, I'm starting to get worried. :( I was expecting delivery for mid to late august. Now I'm not so sure. Also in Saturdays Age some guy has been waiting 22 weeks!! Now that's f*cked. Methinks I should go down to my dealer and have a chat. He is personal friend, but still a car dealer. Only "upside" is saving up money between now and delivery. I'd still take the car any day though.

jimmyboy Member 152 Member For: 21y 7m Posted 20/07/03 08:51 AM Share Posted 20/07/03 08:51 AM Does any member of this forum have a turbo on order from from Power Ford in Castle Hill Sydney? 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. :( I bought my XR6T ute from power ford castle Hill, I ordered the car on the 8th of March and took delivery on the 22nd of june Glen clarke was the salesman, his prodiction on the delivery was pretty much spot on in my case.

Be patient though guys, the wait is definitely worth it. BA XR6 turbo is fantastic! And I've been a Holden / Chev man all my life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
