AMoffat Member 744 Member For: 22y 4m 22d Posted 06/08/03 10:36 AM Share Posted 06/08/03 10:36 AM Boy, reading that letter bought back a lot of not so happy memories about the BS I was fed over five months.I feel sorry for you. And yes, you do just get sick of dealing with the dealership (sic) and the Ford Customer Line, who really can't mediate the solution to the bloody problem at all.

spadnium Member 49 Member For: 21y 9m 15d Location: Sydney Posted 06/08/03 12:05 PM Share Posted 06/08/03 12:05 PM Hang in there clyde.I'm waiting too. I needed to lease a car from March, so I started looking last November. Got stuffed around by bureaucracy and by the time the order was placed it was March. I'm told now September delivery but of course I'm sceptical. Original quote was June.But the glass is half full, because I heard about the brake problems and upgraded, found some new bits to add like the aux input for the stereo.... Just think, by the time we get ours, Ford should (better!) have mods to iron out some common wrinkles like oil/water leaks and maybe the brakes too with any luck.Three of us were up for cars at work this year. My mate got his B4 (it was in stock, he just drove it out) and The Boss gets his bloody Calais Friday (it's got the best cup holders, he declares). Lucky they're the kind of wonderful people that would never rub it in. Much...When it arrives and I drive it (never got a test drive), I'm sure I'll be glad I waited, and not settled for anything less than what I really wanted. Don't think I haven't been tempted by one of the TEN - count'em - TEN!! XR8's at my local Ford dealer with no owner. Take pride in your determination to wait for it. From what I've read here, you won't be dissapointed.Chin up!

clyde Member 71 Member For: 22y 18d Location: Sydney Posted 15/08/03 04:15 AM Author Share Posted 15/08/03 04:15 AM I haven't had a reply to my letter to Ford but Ford has been in contact with the dealer and have given them an extra vehicle for Sept and they have been told it is for me. So I have a SIDO and the promise of a Sept build. They haven't given me an actual build date but I am a bit happier now.

(And that's not the pilgrim type grey)However, make sur you keep some on hand (Johnny, Jack, Bundy etc) to toast your bird once you've got it.Enjoy........
