ColdwaterHotrod Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Coldwater: My status is Released from Plant. What will be my next status code? Thanks, hsurb Coupe or Convertible? What build date & options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETSOLVER Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 HSURB, The only updates I get now are from CS. I call them everyday Morning, Noon & Evening (almost 8 pm before they close) to see if their has been any new info added into the system. I think I'm stuck at maximum RPM for PSDS. On Saturday, I was in town doing many little things & cruised the lot several times just looking for a sign of it. I even went out of town for dinner & checked at 4:30 pm & again on my way home at 10:45 pm just to know if it came in while I was gone You are going to have to consider cooling it a bit or somebody is likely to call the police just on general principles. :wacko: I remember being excited and all in the past with new cars, but you folks are raising this to a real disease. Its kind of scary in a way. I can see it now, "Honey, I'm going to take the dog for a run. But dear, we don't have a dog...? O.K. I'll get one of those too."

HSURB Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Coupe or Convertible? What build date & options? Coldwater: It was a coupe with the stripes. It had all options except the red seat inserts. It was to be built the week of October 16th. It shows a delivery to dealer of November 3rd as of Friday, October 27th. hsurb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So more than likely it has already had the stripes put on & is waiting to be shipped out just like mine. Don't expect it a day or 2 early before NOV 3rd ( and I thought I had it bad ) ....this rarely happens from what others have said on this board. Put you mind at ease & say to yourself....As long as it's here by Thanksgiving then I have plenty to be thankful for. It will come grasshopper, it will come.

rmustgt Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Hey guys!! (Coldwater,hsurb,svtbird) Does anybody think there is any validity to what my dealer told me Friday. "all Shelbys are on a quality hold". I know I've asked this question several times this weekend, but I haven't gotten a clear opinion from anyone yet. Any opinions/ideas????

svtbird91 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Hey guys!! (Coldwater,hsurb,svtbird) Does anybody think there is any validity to what my dealer told me Friday. "all Shelbys are on a quality hold". I know I've asked this question several times this weekend, but I haven't gotten a clear opinion from anyone yet. Any opinions/ideas???? I have not heard anything to indicate this other than what you have reported. This type of hold up is not unusual though if a quality control issue comes up. Sorry nothing definitive. I look at it this way if this is the case: (1) Ford wants to resolve the problem quickly and properly. (quality is job 1 ) (2) They don't want all these cars hanging around ,its costing them money. (3) I don't want the car until it is right ( I hate dealing with the dealers service dept) In the mean time I will keep myself busy doing things to keep my mind off it .

CobraCrazy Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Well, my Shelby was unloaded from the railcar today in Laurel, MT. When I talked to my salesman he said, "They could have it at the dealer by the end of the week. " I just checked and my dealer is only 145 miles from the railhead!--damn-it. When I talked to him this afternoon I said he needed to push to get it sooner, but now I know just how close it is, I'm going to call and really raise hell tomorrow. I'm thinking my dealer would like to have a show-room magnet for a few days, but I want my damn car--now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobraCrazy Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Have him pay you ADM (Additional Delay Money) for you to let him Don't think I haven't thought about it! Up until this point, actually, my dealer has been straight with me, but today's info and tone just felt a bit "off." If they were honest, said hey the car will be here Tues. would you hold off until Thursday so we can show it off, we won't let people crawl all over it, I'd probably be ok with that, but as I said I think I'm getting a bit of BS.

rmustgt Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Well, guys, as most of you know I reported this past weekend that my car is on a "quality hold". I called Ford C.S. this morning and they said my car was to be delivered to the dealer on 10/26. Then she said "oh,that was last week". "Hmmmm, that car should be at your dealer". "Are you sure your dealer doesn't have the car?" "Well, I suggest you call your dealer because he has more information about the car than we do , at this point!" So I hung up and called my dealer. Before I hung up, though, I asked the lady if there were any "holds" on the Shelbys. She said there were no "holds that she knew of!!! When I talked to my dealer he was as confused as I am. So he called his contact at Ford again. His contact told him that there was a batch of Shelbys that came off the line at about the same time frame and that there was some kind of problem with 1 or 2 of those cars. His contact said there are about 20 or 25 cars caught up in this "quality hold". He was told all of these cars are being re-inspected to make sure that the problem is limited to the 1 or 2 cars. He again tried to find out what the problem is but was told there is no further information available. That is all I can find out at this time. If I hear anything else I will post up asap. Maybe this explains why some of you other guys have gone past your estimated delivery date!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmustgt Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 hsurb, those are the exact terms that customer service gave me last week before my estimated delivery date.

HSURB Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Florida actually. Some reps are pretty smart and helpful, some leave a lot to be desired. You are correct. In fact, I think it's New Delhi, Florida. On a serious note, I have had some CS reps that were willing to provide much more information than others. And then, there are always those that I simply can't understand. hsurb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in Missoula. What color did you order? I heard there are three of them in Helena, there was four but one guy sold his on EBAY already. I can't tell from your name if you're somebody I know, but I'd love to see your car. Mine isn't gonna be here until probably January, so it's gonna have to sit for a few months before I get to drive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

442forever(noolds) Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 The happy wheels are rolling now for me. As of today my order has been submitted to the plant. I guess a vin should be coming along soon. I got a chance to see a vert back in July, and listen to it. I am taking rufdrafts advise. The patience will be worth the wait. As long as it has been qc'd well before being shipped that is. 10/25 -from material hold to unscheduled. 11/01- submitted to plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Red with White Lemans stripes on order, but I had a really hard time deciding between that and Vista Blue with White stripes. I think the Tungsten will look great as well. Do you have snow on the ground? Are you trailering your car home? Our car will be here in probably mid January, so it's gonna have to sit in the garage for a while. It's gonna be a long winter!

Red/White combo looks sharp no doubt about it. Colorado's winters resemble California's anymore, but we have had a couple of wet snows already. I grew up in Casper, and lived in Buffalo for a while, plus I have relatives in the worland area so I know how bad the weather can get up there--that's part of why I was hoping to get the car in Oct--oh well. I kills me that the car is two hours from my dealer and I might not be able get it even next week (it's supposed to snow!). Like you said it's going to be a long winter!
