feechl Member 5 Member For: 13y 2m 28d Posted 20/09/11 06:15 AM Share Posted 20/09/11 06:15 AM Hi all,A while back I ordered a XR6T sedan with the luxury and at the time I was told "You can still change options on it, if you put a deposit down we can secure the exact one you want".... so I ordered it in the colour I wanted and in manual. I was told it's be *maximum* 5 weeks. About 3 weeks in I was told my car was getting sprayed and it'd be ready on the 5th or 10th of September... apparently 'Ford have two computer systems and no one knows which gives the correct information'. Those dates then turned into the 8th and 17th... and now I'm being told they have no idea when it'll be ready because they can't source the luxury pack wheels.They've BS'ed me so many times over the last month I don't know what to believe... Can a car enter production without all the parts available? is it possible for a car to be sprayed then 4 weeks later they're unable to find wheels for it? Are they able to give me a set of temporary wheels so they can honour their delivery date then switch over to the correct wheels once they come in?Has anyone else ordered the XR6T with the luxury pack and are also waiting on the wheels?(btw, I don't even know what the luxury pack rims look like, I get conflicting information.... anyone got a pic to confirm them?)Am I being taken for a ride?Thanks!

Not sure what theyre doing giving u all these exvuses etc. I cant imagine theyd be putting cars on the line without all parts ready to go. I have read a few people say when theyre being effed around, rang the dealer and threatened to cancel the order and possibly get legal action. Somehow their car has arrive very soon after. How coincidental..!! LolBest of luck with it all and keep us updated.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it has is a model number and dealer reference number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feechl Member 5 Member For: 13y 2m 28d Posted 20/09/11 11:06 PM Author Share Posted 20/09/11 11:06 PM I got the FG for $45k with the luxury pack though. Doubt I'd get near that with the new model.... even without the luxury pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
