First time post here.... So I purchased a 2018 Ex Sport 19 April 18 with the expectation that the vehicle was inbound to the dealer (salesman stated it was expected on 18 April 18 - which I now know was a bunch of Hooey). Build date on the vehicle was 05 March 18, and via COTUS has been in "Awaiting Shipment" status since I started tracking it on 19 April 18.
Dealer states they have no visibility of what is happening, nor any influence (this was a dealer order BTW). Hhhmmmm.... so looking from the outside in, how can that be? Can a vehicle sit in "Awaiting Shipment" status from lets say, mid March 18 (assumption on my part, I know) to now? I can see if there were engineering updates, etc., but it does not appear that there are. Overall I don't know Ford's logistics systems to make a value conclusion on it anyway. So my questions are how long does (can) a vehicle pause in Awaiting Shipment normally (COTUS message says a few days to a week), and shouldn't the dealer have more visibility than they're stating they have?
Appreciate input - comments any may have!
