BBCMH The Carmen is about to dock at Durban, Sth Africa. Then will set off for its long journey across the Indian Ocean for Fremantle. It’s starting to get real.

Not sure if it is the last ship. Mine was built 23 Sept 2024, and I finally got confirmation from my dealer last week that it has been shipped. It is on the Carmen, and it is taking the European/South Africa route, having left Baltimore on 20 Dec 2024 and set to arrive Melbourne on 25 Feb...

That was exactly my beef with my dealer. My gate release was on 23 Sept 24 - and my dealer cannot tell me if its sitting the open under snow/rain at Flat Rock or sitting at the docks ion Baltimore rusting away 🤬 Either way not happy with communications. I suspect its more serious than just a...

It’s all smoke and mirrors when it comes to dealing with car dealers. I’ll just have to bite my lip and wait for my car - whenever it arrives as I really just want it.

My ETA was originally 15/1/25 My Gate Seg was 23 Sept 2024 (already built). The ETA was pushed out to 14/2/25 and recently to 7/3/25 (3 weeks blow out) I asked the reason why and the dealer said it was due to ships having difficulty in navigating the Baltimore bridge that had collapsed. I told...

I plugged my VIN into the website and mine (gladly for now) is not affected. My GT had a segmentation date of 23 Sept 2024 (ie built after 20/8/24) I was recently advised that my delivery has been pushed back from 15/1/25 to 14/2/25 and now 7/3/25! Excuse I was given a week ago by my dealer...

Ditto my VIN in June, a GT auto with black pack. Seg is mid Sep, with delivery in mid Jan 25. I hope that Ford can still deliver.

Great, Sounds like our cars could all be on the same boat! :like:

My Seg date is 19 September 2024, with ETA of 14 Jan 2025. What’s your ETA, I assume a week or 2 earlier than mine? I ordered Vapour Blue with black pack, so assume that colour combo remains and no change to the ETA or order is made.

Your GT looks great In Race Red In the black package. I see you have red brembo cailipers. I thought GTs all came in black. I didn’t realise you could option them from Ford, so did you get them coloured aftermarket?

I also chose this colour with black pack. Yet to see one in the flesh, but think this combo looks fantastic 😁

Thanks, that helps a be lot. Our VIN had the extra “check digit” that was confusing me. Btw, do you know what does the check digit stands for? Mine is “8”

I recall seeing a VIN code decipher some where in this thread. I don’t know how to find it, so can someone please repost the link?

Thanks 5.0ALM much appreciated.

I now have a VIN but no actual build date or ETA (although as previously told by the dealer and mentioned it was to be built in “July” with an ETA to Melbourne on “15/1/2025”. with the VIN is there a way I can confirm for myself the actual build date, ETA and ship? Sorry if this has been asked...

Can you please tell m ewhen did you sign your contract, and how soon after were you given your above dates? I feel that these dealers just don't know/care and when it arrives it arrives? It is so annoying.

2 Weeks ago I was told that mine (Vapour Blue GT, Auto Black Pack) was suppose to be build in July with ETA on 15/1/25. I still do not have a Segmentation Date or VIN, but was only contacted recently to confirm my order and price. I suppose it will be build Aug/Sep, and with the break in the...
