Mr. Green Jeans Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 After 13 weeks of waiting and no VIN, I made a deal with the same dealer on one they had ordered. Picking it up in the morning! $200 higher because the white is higher than the blue I had ordered, but was able to use the $750 customer cash. Tinting all the way around on Tuesday. They had two vehicles, one was made on April 1st. Monday and April fools day. I passed on that one and took the one built on April 18th, a Thursday. I did notice that the price of a new order like the one I ordered is now $1,000 higher than on February 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzureBlue Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Congrats, Mr. Green Jeans! Eager to hear how you're liking the new ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Green Jeans Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) Picked it up yesterday and it is awesome. Just to make sure that i would not like a Fusion Energi better, I got into one in the show room and hit my head while getting in and out. I did the same thing with a Taurus. No problem with the C-Max. Edited June 2, 2013 by Mr. Green Jeans AzureBlue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil1336 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 My Salesman at the Ford Dealership Store that I have purchased my last 3 Special Order Vehicles always orders (2) Identical Cars at the same time. One is for my X-Plan Retail (Sold) Unit and another for Dealership Inventory using their Allotment. Amazing, even with a "Priority 10" given my Special Order Sold Unit, its Identical Twin arrived several weeks earlier. Good idea to to request "Double Ordering" of identical Units if they are willing to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazybo Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 car ordered Feb 26delived 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. =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAZ Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 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." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until they get your money it's their car, but I think the 'dirty' referred to above was that the dealer had an opportunity to sell the vehicle to another customer. I wonder why the dealer would take six days (and counting) to deliver...that's just ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaDadMiami Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Most people are reporting about eight weeks or so, lately. This sounds like it is way after the norm. My car got to my dealer right around the same time as yours. In one day, they not only prepped the vehicle, but had tinting installed and gave 24 hours for it to lock into place. Maybe it's their first C-MAX, and they are taking some extra time for this first one? I hope you get yours right away! I'm sure that this makes it even harder to wait! :drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slampro Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Model: C-Max Hybrid SEL 303A black/black with sunroofDate Ordered: May 9 2013Promised Delivery time: 8 Weeks-Wasn't actually promised was told up to 10 weeks.Actual Delivery Date: TBDState: TX Yes, we are crazy. We are getting a black car with black interior with the sunroof, and we live in El Paso. We don't plan on being here forever though, probably move back to Colorado in the next few years. Got an email today showing the order screen from the dealer. It is scheduled to be built 7-15-13(which would be awesome as it's my sons' 10th b-day). I am assuming it just means scheduled for that week, and most likely will not be built on that day. I imagine it will take at least two weeks after that to actually get here. :waiting: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaDadMiami Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I spent my eight weeks studying the manual, reading here, and watching videos. It still seemed like forever, but it did make the time pass less painfully. BTW, I didn't see that you posted here until after I mentioned about updating us with the delivery info. Thanks!

slampro Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yeah, I've read the manual cover to cover at least twice now. Will have to do it again once we get the car, and can get touchy feely with it for ourselves. I've watched a ton of videos on youtube, reviews, experiences and such. I have watched the ford tutorial videos. I have read lots of stuff here. I am just waiting, one day at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
