Ford blue blood Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Can one of you guys that are at a dealership explain the sequence of events with respect to order placed and how it happens. I ordered on 18 Dec. about 4:30 PM CST, the order was put in the computer as "special order, sold" (sales mans words), now what happens? How ofter does the status get updated? Are the updates nation wide or dealer specific? Are orders pulled by region or when recieved? Just anything that you can tell me that will help me sleep at night. Thanks.

Amen to that Joe :D There are alot of factors that decide when your order is pulled. It may be a few weeks or a few months. I actually sat and waited for almost 6 months with one dealer waiting for my order to get pulled and it never did. I switched dealers and my car should be here about 9-10 weeks after I placed my order. Big difference. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kstrong Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Just ask RPRETZEL. I think he waited almost a year and others waited a few weeks. The FAQ's help alot. Soon you will be suffering from PSDS. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford blue blood Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Thanks Joe, the link did answer many questions! The one thing it didn't address was the frequency of updates from Ford to their dealers with the status of orders and is the update dealer, regional or nation wide. I am suffering yes, PSDS (?), but the nights of lying awake and thinking about this car are driving me nuts! I am still in shock that the dealership owner called me himself and has agreed to terms that I am perfectly happy with (MSRP + great trade-in for my 03 Cobra). I'm relatively new to this posting thing, been hanging around many sites for a couple of years but don't do too much on them. I have no luck with the search function, not using the right words I guess. Get no items found or thousands of unrelated things. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From there it's just a waiting game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the upper right, click "search" A box will appear, but don't use it Instead, click on "more search options" Another search box will appear...but don't use it Instead, look down a bit and select "more options" In that box, do your search, but first, read the search rules help. It will tell u to put a "+" sign in front of each word, and don't search for words with fewer than 4 letters (which I think should be changed, as we have lots of TLAs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
