How long did it take for your car to arrive?

[bwhinnen]

Just a question whilst I pass time awaiting the arrival of the new car...

How long did it take for your car to arrive from Ford?

Order placed mid / late March, still waiting, car has been 'in transit' from the factory to Brisbane for over a week now.

Whilst I'm at it, how many K's was your car delivered with ??

Thanks
Brett

I was lucky, mine took about 5 days. This was the time it took to get the windows tinted, scuff plates, tow bar etc fitted. Mine had 3.8 klms on it. I think those were done during speedo calibration.....

Ordered a LX Focus in late Jan. Picked up the car in mid March. Spent a day at the dealership to get tinted windows before I picked it up. It had 17km on the clock.

Ordered mine last year December 27th. Got it Dec 29th.. It came with 18kms

Under 1 week and 13km. I wanted the new (at the time) shockwave colour as well.

When i was working at a Ford yard, the new ones we got, consistantly came with 3kms on the clock, and once detailed would get a 15litre splash, and they hit the lot with 7kms on them

2 hours!!

Nah my car was at the dealers and like Shockwave XR8 I wanted the one of the first Shockwaves around, mine was the first delivered thru my dealer which was exciting, I bought it on the Friday and picked it up on the Tuesday, only hold up really was PD getting around to washing it.

On my first time ( au xr8) was told it would be 2-4 weeks but took 12 weeks. Dealer tried to tell bullИИИИ story of a robot crushing a car on the production line
Second time ( ba xl) was told 5 weeks max and arived 9 weeks later then it had to go for another 2 weeks to fix a dent it was delivered with. Both time not happy as i'd rather be told longer as to not get hopes up. Both delivered with under 20 kays.

Took me 31 years to get mine. Of course a few other people test drove it for me to make sure all was good but took delivery of it last year. Was worth the wait though.

My BA XR8 Ute took 4 months, my BF Typhoon took around 6 to 8 weeks...

[RspecAU]

It 8 weeks in 1993 to get my new EB 5speed Spak and it cost an extra $800

[Kev_BLNXR8_Ute]

3 Months for my AU 2 XR8 ute and 4 Months for my BA XR8 ute

we ordered our GT in August and it was delivered 2 weeks ahead of schedule in October. September 2005 build plate. we were disappointed to see 87kms on delivery.

Purchased late Nov '05 and arrived 3 months later. Long wait indeed but expected it as I had asked for a '06 plated BF. In the end delivery was almost 2 weeks later than expected date.

Did you ask them about this? What did they say?

yes they were asked and we got the usual side stepping answers, like testing and delivery to window tinters, etc. our car was delivered to a third party and they produced an invoice that showed it already had 47 kms when they received the car. so i'd say a few "tests" were conducted in between FPV and us. all was forgotten 10 minutes later on our 200km trip home, GT versus ESP.....no contest :hihi:
