dalebunker Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 After 5 months of deliberation and against my Ford shop foreman buddy's recommendation, I placed my order this morning for the Hybrid SEL. He's seeing all the issues all of you have talked about on the Forums, (across the Ford line, not just C-MAX's though they have their specific issues) and recommended I wait for the 2014 model year, but I'm to impatient and really really want this car. I'm hoping by the build date they've figured out the big issues. Talking to the dealer this morning, he's saying Ford is currently holding deliveries. His guess is they're trying to address some issues. Regardless, the count down officially begins!! He said 12 to 16 weeks, so maybe a delivery date somewhere around Memorial Day. Now to go to my Zen state and be patient so my impulse nature doesn't run out and buy something off a lot somewhere :-) Thank for all of you who have been active in the forum sharing your experiences and enthusiasm; the forum is what has convinced me to "just go for it" as the problems, while some aren't fun, are not all the bad in the big big picture..think Toyota and glad we're not there :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnOhio Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Congrats on ordering your new C Max. I am like you, I waited 3 months watching reviews and this forum before I decided to order mine. I'm hoping for delivery by Memorial Day. I would like to go to Michigan for the national C Max owners get together at ford motor company this summer. Adair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adair Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Congrats to both of you! The car is definitely worth the wait, and especially to get exactly what you want. And by the time yours arrive, you'll be experts at driving a hybrid, thanks to all the knowledge available on this forum. You will really like the drive,the technology, and the MPG!!
