Contacted dealer and was told it was too late to change. So the early bird does not get the worm? If you ordered it, stock versions might come early with the revised console and then you could decide how important it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dealer called me today, assuming to tell me my new build date but my phone cut out and I never got back in touch with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about it but know that it will take at least several more weeks for a new one to arrive. Have they started making any yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have your Lincoln rep look it up and track it for you. I've had cars/truck I've ordered show up in two weeks and once my Mustang took two months after it was built. If it goes through the line clean and there is a transport waiting on a car or two, it can go really fast, or if the rail car just left and they are waiting for an autorack to fill up for your region, it can be painfully slow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellanca Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 Update from the dealer he said it’ll probably be two weeks before I have a build date. So I’m probably looking at a late August delivery at this point. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crozdub115 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Ok thanks. Does this mean they aren't building any yet, or what is required for 'ok to buy' status? Not really sure how this whole process works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I can start saving for the down payment when the time comes. I have to admit I am still more of a car guy than SUV/CUV, those are a bit top heavy for my liking. But we'll see down the road.

Understandable; I haven’t had a SUV for a long time; and while I like my Continental I wanted something with the same luxuries but I need a bit more practicality; ideally I’d prefer Nautilus size but I just like the Aviator too much—maybe if the next generation Nautilus goes RWD I’ll pick one up.

Professor1234 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I visited my dealer to set up my order yesterday morning but will wait until the first of next week for the summer rebate program before finalizing. I went with the new silver radiance with sandstone interior (I turned 40 a couple of months ago but chose old man colours anyway) fully loaded gas model with full rear console and floor liners. Just a hair under $87,000 CAD msrp. I notice in the online literature the engine output is now listed at 400 hp and 415 lb.ft. I recall it was 400/400 previously but I could be wrong. I also noticed on the order printout that mine will be a Job 2 which hopefully means all the features listed on the website as “available later summer” should be in-built. I’m hoping for mid-October delivery at this point which works out perfectly for my 2016 MKX lease end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hootsjxn Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) My office building sits off Interstate 94 west of Ann Arbor.... So I see car haulers throughout the day... Have been seeing many many haulers with 2020 explorers for weeks... This morning as I was walking in I saw my first hauler of Aviators go by... there are on the move!!

Bellanca Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 So, I called my dealer today to see if my Aviator was still on track to be built this week and he told me he couldn’t tell me one way or another due to an “update” but he should know next week. ?
