It's not XR6T but we ordered a New Fiesta back in mid Feb told end of March "cool no worries".End of March comes and goes. Rang the dealer the other day and we were told end of April. Let’s wait and see hey. Ford should over estimate the delivery date to be on the safe side and have a happy costumer in the long run rather than an unhappy one. Plus if the car arrivals before estimated delivery date bonus for both party’s and one very happy costumer.That’s my 2 cents. Enjoy the car when it arrivals mate. What colour did you pick?

Dealer probably doesnt care, he has made his sale and that's all he is worried about.

hdj80 Member 76 Member For: 18y 4m 19d Posted 19/04/09 11:06 AM Share Posted 19/04/09 11:06 AM Sign of the times...reduced staffing in all suppliers, reduced shift times. Keep the line moving but at a reduced speed rather than filling the yards with unsold stock.In the end if it means the blue oval survives then we need to accept the delays. At least Ford got off their asses and did the hard work before the deck or cards tumbled as they are still in a far better place than GM and Chrysler.Took 4 weeks for my order/build on an FG 6T ute.

Posted 19/04/09 10:28 PM Share Posted 19/04/09 10:28 PM when I ordered my ute I was told 6 weeks, but really I was expecting 10 and ignored their figure. Then when it came in bang on the 6 week mark (surprising) I was really happy. Dont get your hopes up, that way you cant be too disappointed.

Nechromar Member 104 Member For: 16y 3m 2d Posted 20/04/09 09:14 AM Share Posted 20/04/09 09:14 AM One week would only be if the dealer had the colour u wanted in a holding yard..So one week sounds unreasonable.Mine took 5 weeks after factory came back to work in January.Was right on the date they said too!
