Ordered October 14th...

Eta - end of December... Not a happy camper. This is how long I wait when I order cars built and shipped from Germany...
 






Relax I ordered September 13th, I just got told build week is December 2nd and maybe have it by Xmas. Thats a month before you.
 






Popular car = popular no matter where it's made.

We ordered September 24 and our ETA for delivery is December 2nd. Seems pretty common for the Sports to take this long from what I have seen. My guess is, they are different in many ways from the other 3 models which share many parts and the Sport has many unique parts. Chassis, suspension, drive train.
 






I would be ok with it if my salesman told me that up front. They told me it should be here around thanksgiving. And my salesman never returns calls or calls with information when he says he will...
 






I see... then yes... typical salesman B.S.

Our's told us 4-6 weeks maybe a little less, maybe a little more. In our case it turned out to be about 2 weeks more till our estimated ETA. Still haven't received the vehicle, but it was built this week.
 






Hi folks,

I hope to see some pictures of your new Explorers in the near future! To help the wait go by faster, give me a shout via PM and I'll update you on the status of your delivery. Your Explorers will be here before you know it. :)

Congratulations, Hankwedge and stonesuperman! Waiting is the hardest part of placing a vehicle order, but I'll be happy to make the days fly by with weekly updates on your Explorer's status. To get started, send me a PM with your order number and dealership name/state. If you have your VIN already, I can use that as well. :thumbsup:

Ordered mine 11/5
Got my VIN today
They said 12/20 to be delivered
Sound right?
 






Well, I have some updates, not all good...

Delivery date is now 12/22 for my car ordered 10/14. Fine, I can live with that...

What I am not happy about is that they screwed up the color on my order! Instead of Black on Black/Sienna the dealership is telling me the factory messed up and made it silver on black! I am at a total loss of words here. This is after 2 MONTHS of waiting! I suspect the dealership had errantly placed the order. Now I have to decide what I want to make things right, if I will accept the silver on black sport and if I want to work with this dealer anymore. Not a happy camper for my first American car purchase...

ouch! not sure if i would take any color other than the one that i ordered but the silver is pretty sexy.. hope this doesn't happen to me. but in the same note its been over a month and my dealer hasn't tried to contact me about my order. I called them yesterday and asked for an order number or VIN number and he had no clue what i was talking about and didn't offer to try to find out for me.. They also charged my credit card the non refundable $500 the day i ordered. not a hold, they charged it. i guess an x-plan customer like me that already paid his 500 buck gets ignored.
 






So, if I accept the silver on black, how much should I ask off for their mistake?
