So - the first stock vehicle I had a deposit down on - hit the dealership in LA, CA. I decided to end my relationship with that dealership as I feel that the Internet Manager was an idiot. I now have a new stock vehicle on order with a different dealership that seems awesome. And the new dealership is closer to home. But still waiting - Decided I did not need the navigation system and the markup from this new dealership is less - only 1K over MSRP. The other was 2k over MSRP. Of course, I am looking at stock items expected for delivery - not custom delivery. Wondering - if Ford is producing stock items first and custom orders later thinking they already have custom order folks hooked!!! Just a thought!!! Still awaiting!!!

| I was told by my dealer today that the delay in shipping had something to do with a "mass quality control" issue. I had a ship date of 6/25 and am still waiting here in NJ. The blueoval forum listed it as a weather related delay. I wonder what the real issue is. I'm hoping to get my FEH before the end of the month so can turn in my leased '05 Freestyle - don't want to make another payment. | |

Replying to: alfredck (Jul 21, 2008 8:47 pm) My husband wanted the nav system, I'm glad we got it, it's a pretty cool feature. It already needs a wash, guess it's the Rocky Mtn. afternoon rain. I'm anxiously awaiting you all to get yours and hear what you think.

"Mass Quality Control" issue is a bit worrisome. Anyone else heard of this?

Apparently my order finally shipped on 7/18. Thanks to the people over at blueoval for supplying me the info. Now, I just have to sit back and wonder how long its gonna take to get from KC to southern Illinois.. Anyone else in this area (chicago even) recieved theirs yet? Heres the info from Blueoval.... For those of you interested, its a standard FEH fwd with a moonroof and nav system added.

Check out the edmunds.com user reviews. There is one up for the 2009 FEH and this person gave it a rating under 7. This person couldn't have had it for more than a week considering 2009 ship dates (!?) Based on the review date, perhaps they accidentally reviewed a 2008 and posted it under 2009. It would be a hapless mistake though - how could the reviewer think that they would be the sole reviewer for a particular 2008 vehicle, a hybrid no less, on edmunds.com?
