What's your status?

I just found my window sticker online. Where do you find the build date on the window sticker?

Look at the top line of the first page, left hand side. I have:

CHI-001258 VA 120110815 5916.

The important bit is the "12110815". The bit in bold is your build date. Which means they're building my car tomorrow :) :) :)
 






thanks! So here are my 2012 Limited order details:

06/21 = ordered
07/28 = VIN
08/14 = window sticker
08/19 = build date
???? = ETA.
 






Finally got my window sticker on Saturday!

06/10 = ordered
07/22 = VIN 127xx
08/13 = window sticker
08/19 = build date
???? = ETA.
 






7/22 - Ordered
7/26 - Vin (from Cory) 17xx9
8/11 - Window Sticker
8/17 - Build Date
8/26 - 8/29 ETA to Dealer (from Dealer)

Approx. 6 weeks total, keeping fingers crossed, Chicago to California

:chug:

Spengracin,
I’m glad I’m able to research that info and keep you in the loop with your latest status! I also think this is a great thread for staying sane while counting the days until your Explorer arrives. :D

My Ex, built on 8/11, is supposedly "in transit", as of today, with an ETA of this week...Hopefully that is the truth!


Anyone else with a build date of last week have any info?

My dealer e-mailed on Sat saying mine is about two weeks out but it wasn't built until the 15th. I'm not sure if that is correct information or not. I guess it's possible to get one from the factory too VA.
 






Cory what would be cool in today's tech. Ford production snaps a pic of your ordered car/ truck coming off the line completed.

PnJ,
That would be a great idea for a www.TheFordStory.com submission. :) A snapshot like that would be an awesome background for your computer until you could take pics of your own! :D

For everyone else patiently waiting for the latest details on your order, sight tight and check in if you’d like. :)

My EX's birthday was yesterday! It's the only thing I know of that's born before it's delivered. :D
 






7/22 - Ordered
7/29 - Vin (from dealer)
8/9 - 8/13 Window Sticker (expected but never appeared)
8/15 - Build date (dealer and confirmed by Cory)
For some reason the build date changed or I don't understand how this works.
8/17 - Window Sticker (actual showed up today!!!)
8/23 - Build Date (actual on Window Sticker)
8/29 - ETA to Dealer (from Dealer)
 






VIN Received!

7/11 - Ordered
8/17 - VIN (from Cory)
8/27 - Window Sticker available
9/2 - Build Date (from window sticker)
mid Sept - ETA to Dealer (my guesstimate)
 


















Sounds like the end of Aug for my delivery then, born on delivery date was Aug 17

twentygb, I checked into why that would happen and found sometimes there are plant constraint issues that can push back a build date. :)

...Cory, thank you very much for looking up my order status and providing the VIN number for me!...
dmikulin,
You’re welcome! I’ll do anything I can to help you stay in the loop as your order moves along! :D

Happy birthday to your Explorer, Spengracin. :) It’s only a matter of time before it starts making it way to the dealer.

Thanks Cory. I figured it had to be something like that.

You've definitely made this process much more bearable. I would like to commend you, your team and Ford for responding to your customers through a forum like this.

Great job!
