Heard from my Dealer by burnsva

I was informed today to expect my FEH Limited the week of 9/1 (maybe sooner) blue oval tracking seems to confirm - I ordered it on 5/8 and it looks like it'll make it just under the 4 month mark (10 weeks if you count from production start up) - and it looks like I'll be getting it for only $800 over invoice (negotiated price from dealer + $1,000 in rebates).

Rebates? What rebates?

Another example of somebody who ordered well after I did that is getting their vehicle.
 
I'm still in line for the silver medal for earliest order (April 21, 2008) that still hasn't been scheduled. My only consolation is knowing there is a guy who ordered April 18, 2008 that is in the same situation.

If you join the American Quarter Horse Association ($35 annual dues) and are a member for sixty days prior to purchase - you qualify for a $500 partner rebate (X plans excluded), additionally, Ford has extended its college student rebate and included the 09 Escape and Hybrid as a qualifying purchase (another $500 - x plans excluded).

I ordered a White Suede FEH AWD on April 18th and still haven't gotten a VIN#. I am told I am #13 in the queue, whatever that means. Ordered from Rhinebeck Ford in the Hudson Valley, NY. Paid $1,000 over MSRP and left them with a $3,000 deposit. Such a shame. I really wanted that car.

On the paperwork from ford for the College Student Cash Program, it says, "The College Student Purchase Program offer may be used in conjunction with most other Ford Motor Company national incentives, but not with any private offers such as certificates, coupons or A, X, D and Z plans."

fmorriso,
I have been watching for your posts closely hoping you come up with the magic key to get moving on with the process. I put my order in on 22 April and have no VIN yet as well. I feel your pain. I called Ford customer service and they could not or would tell me anything or could not get me to someone that has the facts. I am thinking it has something to do with an allocation. My dealer says he has one. Wishing us all luck!

Today, at 1:00 PM EDT, my sales rep called me and informed me that somebody at Ford (didn't say what part) called the Regional Sales Manager who in turn called the dealer Sales Manager who told my sales rep that my vehicle "will be built sometime in September and as soon as we have a Serialized Date or a VIN I'll let you know". I sensed that he may have just come from "the wood shed" (perhaps along with his DSM) because he didn't sound too happy.
 
My response: Thank you for calling. Please don't call me back unless it's to report the full VIN number of my vehicle. Our conversation ended at that point.

Got my car yesterday!!! by michaelweho

Hi There,
 
I received my car yesterday - it was an item that was coming in for stock - White Suede - looks awesome. I had placed a deposit down for it appx one week ago. It is awesome - looks great and has some nice features - very happy that it is blue tooth compatible for my cell - since here in California we can no longer drive with a cell phone to an ear (must be hands free).
 
Suggestion for everyone out there waiting. Call around to find out what stock items your dealerships have allocated to them and put a deposit down on one of them. There are so few options except color that you should be able to find one from stock that meets your needs. Sorry - but it appears that stock items are being delivered first. I think that Ford is giving most of those with special orders the run around. Good luck - everyone!!!
