  1. Order to Delivery Time Thread

    in Buying, Order and Leasing

    Posted · Edited by lazybo

    I can't imagine prepping a new vehicle would take more than a day--and that would be excessive.

    Here's an old quote from the Scion message board:

     

    "theres a couple things they do. first is called PDI, pre delivery inspection (i believe is what it stands for). after it comes off the truck, they take all the plastic and junk off it, wash it, half-assley clean it, and check over about 50 things on a list (which you are supposed to get... at least at the honda dealership i worked at). at that point, if the car is not sold already, it sits in a lot waiting to be sold. once it IS sold, they take about half hour to an hour, depending on how busy it is, giving it a full wash and detail. the whole process from start to finish takes a few hours, and can be done in a day. if you install any parts to it (that you dont come back later to put on), it may take a little longer, but not too much, and still shouldnt take more than a day total.

    my guess is that it may be another car, and not yours. OR, they did something dirty, which i've seen a number of times, and your car DID come in, someone else saw it, and they sold it to them. if they did that, they'll give you some PR line about how they messed up your order and have to order another one, etc etc.

    anyway, if it is yours, you should be able to drive it home the day it arives. MAYBE the next day if they are really busy."

     

    So i guess they did something dirty to it. =\ so i am gonna do a throughout exam to it if i find anything wrong i can refuse to sign off?

    car ordered Feb 26

    delived to dealer May25

     

    The car has arrived to dealer 6 days ago. We have been calling the dealer every day to see if we can pick up the car. Everytime we called, the dealer said they are preping the car. And we called again today the dealer said they need another 3 days to prep. Since our car was custom order with no options and lowest package, is there a reason why the dealer need 9 days to prep? What is the preping procedure concise of? It passed 12 weeks since we ordered, very disappointed at ford. =\
