HofstraJet Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Oh ok, still none in my immediate area. Been talking to a dealership some 12 hrs away, but i dnt think the deal they are presenting is good enough to take the drive. Have you explored the X plan route? http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/topic/51278-x-plan-pins-for-everyone-sticky-this/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s supposed to be for friends not strangers and Ford has cracked down on that the last few years. Besides the dealer doesn’t have to accept it and you can usually do just as good without it.

HofstraJet Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Mustang Club of America is still a legit source I believe. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. Edited October 14, 2017 by HofstraJet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boredinbirmingham Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Mustang Club of America is still a legit source I believe. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. I recieved mine from them.

HofstraJet Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Just saw that BJ's also offers X Plan pricing (plus an additional $500 off and a $500 BJ's gift card): http://www.bjsauto.com/ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few weeks wont kill me and Ill save the hassle of shopping and looking. I will probably go see them once they hit the dealers though.

Dlcorbett Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I saw one dealer in ga is getring their truxk at the end of the mnth. They didnt want to really work out a lease and its 12hrs away so no go for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's interesting is that while some of the VINs have Estimated Delivery dates, I have net to find a VIN that has finished production and entered the Awaiting Shipment phase. I'm assuming until we see at least one of those, that there hasn't been an Expedition that has been released yet and those estimated dates may slip. Did you find one that is Awaiting Shipment or In Transit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlcorbett Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I seen only one thats awaiting shipment and its actually not too far from me. However its weird to see it but production of it started a week ago, some earlier production vehicles are still in production. Im guessing that for it to be put in awaiting shipment status, it has to pass some aort of inspection and alot of the first builds are still being inspected.

Anything built before ok to buy is given will be moved to awaiting shipment upon any reinspection and any necessary repairs. Give it time, for an all new model like that things could be moving a LOT slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiddKid Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Definitely seeing a lot more Awaiting Shipment now. Of the four 2018s in a 100 mile radius of me, two are Awaiting Shipment while two are In Production. One of the Awaiting Shipments has an expected delivery date of 11/12. Will be interesting to monitor to see if that date slips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I ordered in late August my dealership said best case scenario they could see some dealer stock mid November but customer orders best case would be mid December. Im keeping my fingers crossed to get mine in early to mid December but know full well it could be into the new year. At this point Im just waiting on the OK to buy to be issued before I get too hopeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlcorbett Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I ordered mine but a like one is in awaiting status and the dealer is willing to ship to another dealer closer to me. Mine still foesnt have a build date, i may bite the bullet and snap that up if the deal is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only 4 within 100 miles of my location and none are even close to what I ordered. Ill be waiting and checking production statuses. In the long run whats a few weeks of waiting over the course of many years of ownership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other bad thing being in the front of the line is not a lot of incentives. Waiting 6-8 months may be a better idea if you don't really need to replace now.

We like to buy new and drive long term so we figured it would be worth the wait. Its gonna be sooooo nice once the day finally comes that we can all four go grocery shopping together and not have groceries in our laps lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennis48755 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 fuzzymoomoo, Just out of curiosity, is there an official date for this "okay to buy" designation? Thanks again. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 fuzzymoomoo, Just out of curiosity, is there an official date for this "okay to buy" designation? Thanks again. Dennis No. It happens after 5 consecutive days of no major build flaws. It could take 5 days or it could take months. I'm not aware of it ever taking longer than a few weeks but with so many variables in building cars it's not out of the realm of possibility.
