Re: Roll call for those of us waiting
I'm in Minneapolis, not too far (relatively) from where Raven is, and there are NONE in stock in this area and haven't been for a couple of months - I've checked every so often. Nearest one I could find in a search is in Chicago, and I'm not that hard up for one - no it's not worth my time to travel that far to get one. I'm getting it for just under invoice, and given the current situation there's no way anybody would let one go for that now. Plus, I definitely wanted the Vista Blue, 2WD with the Nav & Premium packages and that color with that combo is fairly hard to find so I ended up ordering it when I couldn't find one in stock back in May.
I just walked into my dealer yesterday to try and get the scoop on mine. I ordered mine on 5/30 and it hasn't even been assigned a VIN yet, and he has 9 others in front of me. He said that Ford is building them by region, and our region seems to be getting the short end of the stick.
Monday I'm planning on calling another large dealer across town that I also know someone at to see if he gives me a different story in case my current dealer is lying to me and this whole deal is held up because of his allocation - but I doubt it is because the dealer I ordered it from is also a fairly large dealer in the area.
