forddriver Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I have ordered a 2015 Mustang GT fastback. Ordered on 5/20. Not a stock order but customer name. Others with this kind of order are getting build dates already that ordered later than me. Before you tell me to ask my dealer ......I have. My 50th birthday is the end of Sept and was really hoping to get it by then. Can someone please explain how the system works . Thanks, Dave P.M. me if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Each dealer gets a certain number of cars to sell (allocation). Each production cycle (weekly I think) Ford gives out dealer allocations. If your dealer gets allocation then Ford starts with the lowest priority vehicle that can be built (no material holds) and schedules them for production until they run out of orders or run out of allocation. All retail orders (pre-sold) are supposed to have priorities of 10-19. Dealer stock should have 20-89 priorities. So either your dealer doesn't have enough allocation or you have too many orders ahead of yours. The dealer sets the priority so it's totally up to them what gets built when within their allocation. Find out your priority and that will tell you a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddriver Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Priority 10 . Got the order sheet. I think I am the only retail order so far. I have a test drive there on Sept 20th at 10:00 am. be very cool if it was my car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 That should put you at the head of the line when your dealer gets allocation. Unless he has multiple orders that are all at priority 10 then it's by order date (Ford's order date not the dealer). You can get cyberdman to track the order in the Employee section - just be sure to read and follow the rules exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddriver Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 every other order he makes is 80 . Wondering if you may know why my order starts with an" A "( A002)? I have several others but all start with an 0. Thank you so much ! AM VERY VERY EXCITED about this car. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 If yours isn't getting scheduled then it's either due to a material hold or lack of allocation. But that won't happen until the OK to Buy has been given which is 1-6 weeks after Job 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddriver Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 One more question. If my dealer wont order his allocation until he sees the cars colors and things will this hold up my order until he does? Thanks again' Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
