So frustrating! I just wish Ford Australia kept us and the dealers up to date. It seems most dealers are as clueless about what's going on as us.
I wonder if we can get anything out of them by hitting them up on Facebook messenger again. I've had some luck with that in the past.
If I didn't...
So I just had an update from my dealer. Nothing changed on mine since the previous update. VIN is still blank, segmentation date is still 2 April, ETA is still 8 August.
Man this uncertainty and anticipation is killing me 🥴
My dealer sends me an update every fortnight. I'm due one today. I'll update here once I get that. I have a feeling mine will be pushed back as well. My segmentation date was 2 April, but my car had no vin issued yet with the last update. I found that quite weird seeing the VIN is usually issued...
Test drove both a manual and auto Mustang yes. Never owned one.
Waiting is killing me too, but it's the car I really want so I don't really have a choice apart from buying used.
I ordered my GT S550 in January 2022. Missed the production of that car by about a month when they stopped S550 production and I was told I would need to change my order to a S650. Ordered a GT and DH the day after the S650 announcement. Cancelled my GT and kept my DH after pricing...
I'll probably get an update on mine from the dealer tomorrow. Hopefully dates have changed or VIN issued. I'll post an update here when I get any more info.
Just got an update from my dealer again. Segmentation date is still 02 April, and ETA 8th of August. Still no VIN though. I find it really weird that there is no VIN so close to segmentation. I've really given up on trying to understand Ford system. 🤷‍♂️
Thats how my journey started towards getting the DH. I loved the wheels and spoiler. Then I thought if I need to buy new wheels and a spoiler for my GT (plus option Magneride), that will probably be 5-7k, maybe even 10k. The DH is 20k more expensive, but I get all those things plus that Tremec...
I'm from Australia but I was in this same boat.
For me my choice was also GT, auto, magneride or DH blue ember , manual, with Recaros. I ended up putting in an order for both because we only get 1000 DH's so getting one wasn't guaranteed.
It turned out I got an allocation for a DH, so once I...
Nice, sounds like our Dark Horses might be sharing a boat. My ETA is 9 August but that is probably because they offload to Eastern states first and then come to WA.
I have not heard about them prioritizing DH or not. It wouldnt surprise me if they did cause there is probably more margin in...
Just got my fortnightly update from the dealer. I don't have a VIN yet, but segmentation date is listed as 2 April now, and ETA is 8 August.
I'm probably very close to getting the VIN issued.
I agree. This must be worrying for Ford as a whole. The Mach E is not selling well and they have essentially killed of everything else except Ranger. If this new SUV/Ute tax is going to hurt sales of Ranger it will really hurt Ford seeing they are really a one trick pony these days.
I think once the government get their way and V8s are legislated out of existence, we might see another jump in pricing. The way I see it, there aren't many options left for those that want a rear wheel drive, v8 sports car. I'm hoping if I ever get my DH, it should be a really rare car which...
