G'day everyone,
I placed an order for a GT convertible in Magnetic early in March. I have had few contacts from the dealer since then. A couple of phone calls, and an email on my birthday from Ford with paragraphs of motherhood statements and the usual rah-rah, finishing up with "We'll let you know when we start to build yours". That was a month ago, and nothing since then on my email.
However, the dealer had a blue GT ragtop on the floor for a weekend and I went out to see that one. He got to drive me all the way from the showroom to the nearest car spot on the dealers lot in it. Which was nice. All of 20 meters, but the sound was great....
During this time he told me that the earliest order they had, placed in late 2013 or something weird like that, was scheduled to be delivered this week. But about 4 weeks ago they got an email from Ford AU advising them there was a delay. So they called the immensely patient client and told him it would be End of Nov. Just as they got off the phone to him, another email comes in, advising the prior email was a stuff up, first delivery still scheduled for end Oct.
Mine apparently still scheduled for Apr 2016.
Also, just reading some of the posts re transit times, I think 3 weeks from US factory to AU Dealer is a bit skinny. I think two months is more like it. Could be wrong, but I would be very surprised to see a Feb 2016 built Mustang handed over to me in April 2016....still, cant wait for the thing to get here!!
