Jus-A-CMax Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Sorry to hear about what you're going thru Rachel - that was one reason why I did not want to go thru the order process, something always happen. As it was, I picked up one from Galpin's lot and it was perfect. Not initially as I thought it was overloaded with the nav and parking assist but you know what, I LUV these extra features. If you were here in the "other" LA, I would have no hesitation in sending you to Galpin...they just rock! Keep us all updated we're all pulling for yer - you're truly a bright happy poster, :wub2: your postings girl!!!!!! Adair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelnLa Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I have news. I got VIN numbers for the cars! Natasha said they should be built in 3-4 weeks. I sure wish they would explain the hold up. I am excited and dreading telling my dad. He hasn't been thrilled either with the whole ordeal either. If it takes this long to get the car ordering from November, just think how long a new order will take. My dad told me while we were looking at cars this would probably be his last car. :( I want him to hurry and enjoy it! Maybe now they will come in together? It would be nice for them to cut some off the price for all the hassle but I must be dreaming. Thanks everyone! Adair and MikeB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Rachel if you look at mtberman's post today under time to delivery, you will see he bailed on his special order and got a dealer to find what he wanted. He ordered at the end of November and had a build date for the 3rd week in January. So I guess your situation isn't the only one with a huge delay. Sounds like his dealer had to do a trade with another dealer to get what he wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yark99 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yay Rachel yay!!! VINs is all good!3-4 weeks is within spitting distance, although the wait is frustrating of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adair Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 WAHOOOO Rachel!! Do you have the link to pull up the window sticker and get the actual build date? That's when it gets really exciting! I'm not that far from Dearborn....Wonder if I could drive it down for you? I love Louisiana! :hysterical:Congrats on the great news!!

RachelnLa Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 No sticker yet! I agree, seems a lot of people were/are playing the waiting game. I will be checking that sticker site often. About how long before I can get the window sticker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelnLa Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Oh! Any time one of y'all pass this way please give me a holler. I would love to share my state with you. My dad makes his own wine too! Hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adair Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Rachel, Well, I got my VIN # within 10 days of the order, (mid to end of October) but I didn't know about looking up the window sticker until the middle of November. I looked it up on 11.22.12, it said it would be build on 11.24.12, and I drove it home on 11.29.12..............now I only live about 40 miles from where it was built, so that's not a totally fair comparison, but.................Here's hoping that yours moves smoothly from now on, and by, oh, maybe, SuperBowl, you'll be tooling around in your new C-Max!! Oh, and what kind of wine does your dad make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RachelnLa Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Well, 6 bazillion look ups on the window sticker site yielded nothing <snort>. The second phase of waiting begins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fits2at Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Yay Rachel! Hang in there. Not long to go. Waiting sucks for sure. Drink some of that wine to help you chill. Pear wine sounds awesome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieB Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Rachel, was your dealer able to give you a build week? I've read that the window sticker will probably show up about a week before the build date, and, as I recall, that was the case for us.

RachelnLa Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I was told they would be built in 3-4 weeks. One week almost down hahahaha. My dealer texted to say they had ORDER NUMBERS. hello? I am steps ahead of you. I have the vins. Poor things. The joke in our family between siblings is we will inherit the winery. We joke with company we will take them on a tour and free samples at the end. Had family come from Alabama, I think there were a few cases sampled. Poo yi! Good times.
