Mustang Buying Basics + COTUS Guide

[HeelToeHero]

Heard about so many people lately getting their orders in about 5 weeks, I was hoping to be about the same. Guessing it's not happening. Shows to be in production with 17 days until delivery. Still have my fingers crossed that maybe I get a phone call from the dealer tomorrow out of the blue.

Weather is getting nice, I'm ready!

How long did it take you guys to get a vin? I'm hoping to have one by next weekend.

I got my VIN two days after the order showed up on COTUS.

I got my VIN from my dealer a couple weeks after I ordered.

I ordered mine back on 3/9 and it's still not in COTUS. Emailed my dealer earlier this week and they don't see anything either. :shrug:

You ordered exactly a week before me. Do you have a VIN yet?

Mine moved to "awaiting shipment"!!! :clap2:

Ask the dealer for the DORA.

If they cannot produce it, they never ordered a car.

Not yet.

I have it. I've got the order number and dealer code. It's still not showing in COTUS this morning when I checked.

They've got my $500 deposit. I was there in person when they submitted it and printed off the order for me. Priority code: 19.

VIN day...did you get yours? Haven't heard anything yet from my sales guy yet...

Nope, still nothing. I'm checking daily and especially on Thursdays. It's coming up on a month now with nothing showing.

Koon's Baltimore also has exactly the GT Premium I ordered with the same exact options. I just don't want to go halfway across the country to get it then have to drive it back.

So much for 5 weeks like others lately reported. Just about 7 weeks now and still no car. =(

Starting to think I would've been better off without the COTUS site. Now it's just driving me crazy saying it's awaiting shipment like it has for the last 11 days!

 

[Zelek]

Another Thursday here and still nothing in COTUS. It's been a month and 4 days now.

Yeah seems to me you should have something by now. I was able to get a VIN from my dealership just over 2 weeks after ordering it. Once I had that I looked it up on COTUS and it was there.
