TurtleMax Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 My dealer finally got back to me regarding the order number and the $750 incentive. They said the $750 is locked in at order time. I guess I will have to take their word for it now. A bit a good news. They gave me a VIN. :happy feet: but I can't seem to pull up the window sticker associated with it. Maybe because it's too new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScooterS Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Turtle Max: VINs won't be available until (almost exactly) 1 week before the car is built. Here's a thread on the process: http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/index.php?/topic/1202-how-to-track-your-c-max-order/ Have Fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnOhio Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 My dealer said that delivery is about 2 weeks after vin is assigned. If that is the case I should be getting mine next week sometime. I'll keep you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayTXLG Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 My Dealer said it would be 6 to 8 weeks to delivery. Model: C-Max Hybrid SEL Option 302Date Ordered: 11/28/12Promised Delivery time: 6 to 8 WeeksActual Delivery Date: March some time Build date is suppose to be Mar 5thState: TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnOhio Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Sounds about right for your delivery Jay. I ordered my car on Feb. 2nd. The VIN was assigned 3 weeks later on the 23rd. The build date was the 28th. My dealer said delivery is about 2 weeks from the time the VIN is assigned, which would put it next week for me.(HOPEFULLY if you can believe what the dealers say). On my window sticker it has as method of delivery CONVOY, that means by truck. I'm only 4 hrs form the factory just across the state line in north central Ohio. Look at your window stickers method of delivery bet it says TRAIN. I'm told that the cars are put on a train and shipped to a distribution center in Tenn. Then they are trucked out to dealers from there. So it depends on how long it sits at the factory and distribution center before shipment. as to when you get your car. Hope this helps you.

robertiv Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 It's so hard to wait. I feel your pain. Then, once it's here, it's so hard to know its sitting in the parking lot at work! RachelnLa, Did you pick yours up yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephengoldberger Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 My deposit was charged to my CC on January 21 - Saturday (March 2) I was called and told the car was at the dealership - 5 1/2 weeks. FWIW, the salesperson told me that the dealership adjusted the color and equipment of a "stock order" to meet my request, so the car itself may have been in the pipeline for a little while before it was "ordered."

roninsd Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Rachel thanks for translating! :) Mr. Green, I hope you enjoy the wait and expectation, learning all you can about your upcoming purchase. We know you'll love it once it comes! Edited March 7, 2013 by roninsd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelnLa Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 The wait is horrible. Read the board to pass the time. Surf. Stretch. Get some sun. Keep hydrated. Try to sleep. Then when the car gets here all you will want to do is drive it! But please don't forget about us. We still love to talk cars. Then the convo will turn to mpgs and temps and routes and gadgets etc. Enjoy the wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitime Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Finally! Ordered on Jan 11th, and it's getting built this friday. So, 9 weeks from order to build, and a couple more in transit. At least it's warming up here! Edited March 7, 2013 by Skitime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Green Jeans Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I have been a student of this car since last fall and have searched the internet for information. I test drove a C-Max Hydrid in September 2012 and decided that the Energi would be for me. When I started the test drive, I noticed that the MPG was 34, when I had completed the 6 mile test drive, the average MPG was 44. I figured that part of the problem with the MPG on the vehicle I was driving was either weather related or people not knowing how to drive a hybrid. I have owned a 2010 Prius since June 2010 and know what it takes to get the most out of the vehicle. My best MPG with the Prius is 54 and the average since purchase is 49. Current MPG is 45 due to the extreme cold weather. I drive on a state highway to work around 8 miles one way. I have a fast charge station at work and figure that I will charge at work during the week and at home on weekends. I will use very little gas.
