It will be interesting to see how transport/delivery time matches as yours is going North and mine is going South. Anyone else want to join the tracking thread???

ScooterS Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 You can get your window sticker here. http://www.researchm...yCarOrders.html Laurel: Thanks!.... I put in my VIN and the sticker isn't posted yet. As I understand it, sometimes it takes a few days after the VIN is issued for it to show up online. I'll look forward to your posts with updates!!

ScooterS Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Liz M and all: If you have your Order Number and Dealer Number or you have your VIN (as well as a minimum of 10 posts on the Board) you can get vehicle tracking information here: http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/forum/80-vehicle-locator-by-ford-employees/ This service is provided by a wonderful Ford employee who takes time from his day to provide information to us. Make sure that you read the rules in the first post for the thread and follow them precisely! My car was ordered around the same time as yours, I suspect that the VIN and an estimated build date have been set. You just need the order info to do the query. Enjoy!

ScooterS Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) RMS: Me=Jealous! This information really helps. I was worried since my build date is in a week and my Window Sticker isn't on line. Looks like it may be a couple of more days. Thanks for update!

RMS13 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 For those of you wondering about the ETA of your car ask your salesman for a copy of the visibility history report. I believe it is updated weekly and can be accessed from the dealership software; dealerconnection. I got a copy of my thru Nov 9. You will get the same info as the Blue Oval site will give you and you don't have to do 10+ posts. jhritz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizM Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Still no Vin for me in SW Ohio. Dealer checked the visibility history report and it is still listed as Unscheduled - Clean. It was ordered 4 weeks ago. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhackwyatt Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Still no Vin for me in SW Ohio. Dealer checked the visibility history report and it is still listed as Unscheduled - Clean. It was ordered 4 weeks ago. :-( I was told that as well. The problem with my order (as told by my dealer) is that the C-Max also has to go through the "Retail Verification System". In that system my order didn't have a date so it wasn't complete, eventhough the other system showed Unscheduled - Clean. After they talked with their rep, they discovered the problem. I ordered mine at the end of July and still don't have it. (Supposedly I'm should get it sometime this week though.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Zhack does that mean that your dealer made a mistake in filling out forms for your order? What a disappointment to be waiting so long over a system glitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhackwyatt Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Zhack does that mean that your dealer made a mistake in filling out forms for your order? What a disappointment to be waiting so long over a system glitch. Yes, but from my understanding the Retail System isn't required for all vehicles. So it may be an easy mistake to make. The system doesn't complain when the date was missing, but the order just sits there and goes nowhere if it isn't. Of course, this is all what the dealer told me and since I don't have access to their systems, I don't know exactly how it all works.

Laurel Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Did the dealer give you your VIN? If so you can get your window sticker which will have the build date on it. Supposedly after the build date, it will be about 2-3 weeks for delivery to the dealer. My build date was Nov.8th and the dealer says he expects it Nov.26th.

After they realized their mistake, they got the order prioritized, the VIN says it was built on 11/7 w/ an estimated delivery date sometime this week. We will see how if that holds up though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMS13 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Retail orders are for orders that are placed specifically for a customer and will have an order type 1; O/T 1 on the window sticker in the item box. If the car is purchased with the X-Plan the order ytype is O/T X. For iniitial production, the stock orders, O/T 2, take preference. This allows dealers to get cars on the lots for potential buyers, gets viewing time by the general public, and allows for 'bugs' to get found and repaired before the individual buyers get their cars. This is how the Mustangs and F150 are delivered so I would think the CMaxs' would foolow the same plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 The Blue Oval forum, cyberdman, just gave me an update on my order. He says it is in transit with ETA Dec. 3rd. This is a little longer than the dealer said i.e. Nov.26th. But at least I know it is built and on the road. LizM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
