ScooterS Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) Rachel: Here is the date- "Scheduled to Day (2013-02-12)." I bet that the widow sticker will appear somtime around Wednesday. pkay: In most cases, the dealer can get it off of the visibilty report for the vehicle. Once you have the train car number, you can track it via an 800 number. It was posted earlier (a couple of months ago?) in the "order to delivery time" thread. Have fun!

Laurel Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Rachel I just asked Cyberdman for an update. I think Monday is a holiday in the States so we should have a new status update on Tuesday. Fingers crossed. Adair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RachelnLa Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Y'all know my dealer hasn't been very helpful? Today I get a text that asks if I knew the cars were in transit and was I tracking it. I replied that I needed the order verification paper to track it and could she fax it. She was with a customer and would in a bit. I sure hope she sold a car because I never heard back. It's the strangest thing. They aren't very helpful and I get texts out the blue with a teaser and then they go AWOL again. Thank goodness I have other ways of getting the info. Geeze.

GeezRachel, you have waaaaaay more patience than I have. How far away is this dealer? I'd be sittin' on their doorstep when they open, hand out, waiting for those papers! Is this the same dealer you have to go to for service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScooterS Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Don't rush them too much. you won't get a rail car number until it is on the train. I'm guessing that will happen around the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donhak Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 The dealer I bought from is 45 miles away also. There is a dealer in town that I can take the car to if I have to, but the sales experience was much nicer where I went. I got a good price without a lot of hassle and got a sales person who kept me informed all the way through delivery. Even after delivery he filed the extra paperwork necessary so that I will be getting an extra $250 in rebates from Ford that I would have gotten if the car had been delivered in December instead of January.

ScooterS Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Hey Rachel! Here is an update on Dad's car. Sorry, I couldn't get a railcar number. Why don't you check with the dealer..... Tell them that it is on the visibilty report for the vehicle ;) . May I have an update Please?: 1FADP5BU8DL525456 Posted Today, 06:16 AMIn Transit - Arrived at Intermediate Point (Norfolk Southern Corp ) Oakwood, MI Feb-14-2013, 03:44 ET. ETA Feb-26-2013.

Laurel Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Scooter she is too much of a southern lady to bug them. I just looked at my old report and it was emailed in a pdf and it is called a full visibility report and it had the rail car number on one of the lines in the report. It took my salesman 10 minutes to fulfill my request and email over to me. They are causing her to miss all the fun of following the car as it creeps from one town to the next. Gee I wish I had a good friendly salesman and then I would get him to do it. Mine isn't the type to do it. What about yours Scooter? Would he pull Rachel's and her dad's reports if you gave him the VINS. Anyone out there chummy with their salesperson who would do this?

ScooterS Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 My guy "departed" the dealership shortly after I ordered and before I picked up my car...... It might have had something to do with them double counting my rebate for a cost of about $1000 below Invoice. I also tracked my trade in..... It started at about $4000 more than they paid me for the car (typical markup). Just before it disappeared from their website it was only about $300 more than they paid me for it. Not sure if they sold it or wholesaled it out. Sooo, I got a great deal, but I don't think that I've got an easy way to check. Unfortunately, Cyberdman is going to be out for a couple of weeks. Looks like Rachel is going to have to put on her big girl pants and demand what she's got comin' to her ;) Other than that, I'm hoping that the dates will work out for the trip to the Factory. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Drats Scooter! We had a woman salesperson at first and then she went to a different company. She would have done it in a minute. So I guess you are right that our Southern Belle will need to put on her big girl pants and get tough LOL. I found it a lot of fun tracking mine on the train and she is missing out on the fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScooterS Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Laurel: I think she is wayyyy tooo shy to call. I don't think that she has the guts to do it..... I'll even bet her dinner at the MI event that she won't get the railcar numbers for the cars. What do you think??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
