23 days from start of production to yours hitting the line...thats great. What was your original order date? Our order was placed at the dealership on 6/26 and keyed into the system on 6/27, I'm hoping it will be serialized by the end of July but from what I've been seeing in the other employee thread I'm thinking more like August. keeping fingers crossed.
My Broker was out of town on the start of the order date on 4/17/08. He gave me the phone number and name of the Fleet Manager to call and get the ball rolling. The Fleet Manager didn't know how the dealership was going to handle the allotted FEH's and ask me to wait over the weekend and call her back. By the 5th day they had mapped out my price and how to handle the order. On 4/22/08 I had a Vehicle Order Confirmation (VOC) with no name and a priority 80, but it wasn't really accepted by Ford until 4/29/08. At that time I got another VOC with my name on it and a priority of 14.

Once you get a VIN number (mine was 6/24/08), you can track the stages of the order by a person who works for Ford name ViperPilot at the Blueoval.com forum who will give you the status of your VIN number. ViperPilot provides this service for Ford and Mercury and this forum is not the Escape/Mariner Forum you ask questions on. In other words create a thread asking ViperPilot the status of your VIN number only. Here is the ViperPilot Forum and you can see my GaryG post for more details:

Here is the Escape/Mariner Forum for more information on ordering:
