Long story. It was built in September and ~2 weeks ago I was told Ford was scrapping the VIN and I needed to reorder.
For generously offered to honour the original MSRP, which is interesting since the MSRP did not change.
If you pay $x to go from GT to DH then you will _not_ get the $x difference in later trade-in. The value will likely be lower.
For eg: if you paid $12,000 more to upgrade to a DH, the eventually trade-in value will likely be < $12,000 more for the DH.
What Ford should have done is add a...
If it doesn't happen often then Ford should at least compensate the customer for the inconvenience.
They offered exactly $0. They did offer to honour the price, which is strange considering it didn't go up (and might have gone down a bit tbh).
My 20 year old son kept calling me out on not using the parking brake until he distilled it in my head. So I've changed my _old_ habit of not using the parking brake.
I still put it in gear though because .... habits :)
My driving school training strongly emphasized not putting the car in neutral when stopped (instead, keeping it in first - ready to go). it was 20 years ago but I still abide by that.
So my auto-stop won't ever engage.
Thanks, this is helpful.
I am not mad about it being scrapped, I am upset because there was no active communication. It took me months to find out.
In fact, Ford's "customer service chat" still gives me an expected build date :-).
In these situations, Ford should really throw a bone to...
My Mustang (GT) went into production 5 months ago and was supposed to be built on 9/28. The date kept moving until I found someone in Ford corporate who got in touch with the factory and it turned out that the VIN is going to be scrapped!
I now need to re-order and wait again, which is very...
Yes, they move the date by two weeks.
So for two weeks, they told me it was scheduled to be built by 11/28. They said that up until 11/28. And today (11/29), they said 12/18 is the date. This has been happening since the beginning of October.
Ordered in May. Still waiting.
I am getting genuinely upset about this :-). IF someone from Ford is here then please know that I am very close to cancelling my order. This was going to be my first Ford and you might have lost a customer for life.
(Some might wonder if I am over-reacting. I...
Is the Nite Pony exhausted for new orders or also for cars that are already in production?
Mine's been stuck "in production" since 9/15 and I wonder if the Nite Pony package is the culprit.
When did you order yours, if you don't mind me asking.
