Update on my side of things: Trevor's car has been at the shippers holding area (in MD) for over two weeks now. I called the shipper and they confirmed they have it but have a delivery-hold order from Ford. I am getting the Ford rep involved to see what is the hold up.

I've read over on 6g that this is a problem and no one is fessing up for a real reason.

I know there was a Sync 3 software update that needed to be addressed in some 2016 Mustangs but that doesn't call for a delivery hold. I've had three truck deliveries this week, including 4 Mustangs that had a build date around Trevor's... so I'm trying to guess it is quality control on a retail unit. This happened on a Flex and F-150 order I had this year.

I'll be buying one for mine assuming I get it in the Spring. Comp Orange GT, too. Just a base PP not premium unless I can find a used Premium with PP

Nice! With all the AirLift and misc. parts laying around in my spare bedroom I've been super anxious to get the car!

When does your car arrive? I know someone who can test the wheel out while you wait, lol!

TBH I've been debating on placing an order for January and selling this one for $350 - $400. I really don't need $200 THAT bad to try and hustle someone though lol.

Just my luck lol! Hopefully not too much longer. Thanks for the update Cam!

So Trevor's car fell off a truck, is what you're saying ... OK, got it, sorry about your car Trev ...

My car got delivered with a pass-side mirror broken right off, it was in the back seat, delayed delivery to me by 2 weeks while I ordered a new mirror for it, new cap that had to be painted, and then I installed it before the final cleaning and paperwork was done.
Yes, I ordered and replaced the mirror, I was a Service Advisor at the dealership I bought it from.
The car sat inside the whole time, in the first service bay where I could see it from the Service desk :biggrin:

At this rate Darren's car will have over 24 miles on it and if you have to wait until Thanksgiving he will be at almost 25...

That's a lot of laps around the garage, all pushed of course.

I think you may get my next purchase business. Personal service is something that is severely lacking in most of my car buying experiences.
