I was told the dame thing - that the vehicle I ordered already had a VIN assigned and that a late July deliver was possible. I believe it when I get the phone call from the dealership somewhere between 6/23 (when the building phase of the FEHs are scheduled to start) and 7/1 regarding the vehicle's progress. I was never given the VIN number though and I never got anything in writing saying if I didn't receive my FEH by a certain date, I could take my sizable deposit elsewhere. I guess that was a rookie mistake.

... And if there are delays, we can blame the life guards since they received their 2009 FEHs first.

I accidentally hit the "9" key when I meant to type "8" but then I found this surprising result:

Finding a dealer for X-plan by papalima

Man, I've had a bit of a struggle finding a dealer who was willing to sell a 2009 on the X-plan price. Finally got one that said they would; going to do the paperwork on Saturday.
 
Hopefully. Things change and if they screw me over I can tell you I'll be one PO'd guy, driving over 60 miles to get the shaft.
 
Until I know for sure either way I won't post the dealer name...
 
But I definitely will tell you that Bill Pierre Ford, on Lake City Way in Seattle, is a bunch of jerks. I went in there because they said they could handle a FEH on the X-plan.
 
Three hours (a looong talk about the rig, a decent test drive, and then some waiting around) later they not only said that they wouldn't do the X-plan, but they pretended they were offering me a great deal on a 2008 FEH... with a second sticker that added NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS to the MSRP.
 
Yep, 9 grand. On a 2008, which I was clear I didn't want, in Kiwi Green, which I was clear I didn't want, instead of the X-plan which I was clear I was looking for.
 
Jerks. Don't use them if you're in the Seattle area!

Well, the pictures are of a 2008, obviously, but the VIN is 2009.

Just in case someone needs an X Plan participating dealer in this part of VA:--- Winchester Ford in Winchester, VA is currently a participant in the X plan program including the FEH.

When I last checked with my dealer, the FEH FWD I ordered on 5/7/08 was scheduled to be built on 06/23/08. They did not have an estimate on when it would reach them. I live in SW Washington.

Just a quick update.
Our 2009 FEH Limited still has a delivery date to the dealer here in Sonoma County, CA. of 7/10. The dealer was absolutely working for us and got in in the Que.. I had to "insist" that they take a $500 deposit (which they did). Only issue is Ford factory missed the side step bars but the dealer will install at cost.
Regards,
