Putting a Deposit down is good. As long as they did not charge you an ADM (Additional Dealer Markup) then you did ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywickedshelby Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Im not sure when Job 1 starts (the beginning of production) for the 2011 model year.... but I dont think its till May or June........so delivery in July to Sept sounds about right. I would contact Michael Morris (that his name and his screen name) on this site. He is a very trustworthy Ford dealer that many on this site have bought cars from and Im sure you can answer any questions you might have. He also loves that I volunteer him for this sort of thing constantly! And welcome to the site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010 Grabber Blue Shelby Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I ordered my 2010 in Mar 2009 and took delivery in Aug, but its weird on how they allocate in that some people who ordered after me got their before me. It was a long wait, but if I waited until now I could have had a choice between a 2010 and 2011, so your almost better off waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
