cbr1000 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 My local Dealer tells me that if I want HID on a '10 GT500 it won't be available until August. Is this what everyone else is hearing too? For those of you that have already ordered (or are a Dealer) when do you expect to take delivery of your car?

Michael Morris Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I havent heard a date, but I havent looked into it. I didnt order it on our car because I wanted to go ahead and get it and have an earlier car MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeindog Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I ordered mine about a month ago with the HID's and I was told hopefully by May/June I should get the car but my dealer didnt know exactly when. He said he wouldnt have a good estimate until Job#1 which is slated for 2/26/09 now. I dont think the delay will be that long because it effects all 2010 mustangs but we will see come production day.

65427cobra Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 My dealer called me back last week and indicated that he had called a couple of connections within Ford and they truly did not know when the HID's would be available. I cannot understand how Ford would not have their suppliers lined up to meet Job 1 requirements.....I really like the looks of the HID's but the tempation to get the car in the March/April time frame is moving me back to the regular lights.

Decisions .....decisions.... With the current crisis in the car industry, Ford's supplier could have gone under, laid off a bunch of people or maybe Ford owes them money and they won't start producing the lights until they see some payment. Don't forget about the effect on the smaller companies that supply car makers. Next time a part is backordered it may not be readily available because there is no one to make it... It's a sad sign of the times. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yraegel Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I ordered mine at the end of January and the dealer didn't know when they would be available. I'm scheduled for delivery in May. In any case, can't they be fitted post-production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I was talking to a big birdy today. The HID's should be available in May or June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65427cobra Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks Grabber for the update. Did you order yours with the HID lights? I thought about changing my order to the regular lights but just felt like they looked dated on the GT500. I ordered the Sterling Gray with black stripes and just felt like the HID lights looked better on that color combination. Keep working that birdy and keep us up to date.

Michael Morris Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I was told a few day ago it looks like 3/3. Im going to call the guy I know at Auto Alliance and see what he says MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yraegel Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 OK, my dealer just called me and he said there was a commodity hold and that if I wanted them, it "could push delivery back months". I am scheduled for May so I said no. Maybe "months" is the timeframe that Grabber mentioned. I just don't want to wait and would look to change them out later. If anyone hears anything about an earlier date, please share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ordered in April, you should definitely have a VIN by now. I ordered in March and got mine in about two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldgus Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I ordered mine in April, have a VIN, a window sticker (showing HID's) and the dealer already has the title from Ford for the vehicle...

goldgus Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Spoke to my dealer today, and FORD posted my delivery date at end of day today, June 18th... Not holding my breath just yet, but at least its progress, FORD actually updated SOMETHING in their computer systems... Keep your fingers crossed, and I will keep everyone posted on progress.

I know I should have a VIN (ordered mine on April 22), but my dealer is a complete numbnut and say's "Until it's built, there is no VIN". I can't believe this because they sell Parnelli Jones and Roush with several in the lot. I'm ready to call them and escalate to the head moron. Help!!!

zeindog Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 I know that they had a month long hold on the shelbys during the month of April so thats probably why you dont have a vin yet, they are technically a month behind but you should at least have a DORA from your dealer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
