Controversial post: Active City Stop added to my order (2mths after placing it, thanks Ford Barnsley - excellent service as always). 10mths to go, and counting... (by the day)

10 months?? I only ordered last month and I'm apparently looking at September.

Want to put money on that? The factory shuts for 3 weeks as well

I'll happily put a million quid on it saying that on my order form.

Fancy taking that bet?

I'm not arguing that it says that on your order form, I'm arguing that it won't be ready.

There's people on J and L orders from last year still to be built yet. The dealer system is not accurate.

Only if you changed the bet to you actually receiving the car in September.
5 months from placing a factory order to delivery does seem highly optimistic to say the least.
But hey I hope you do get it sooner rather than later.

I think it is a bit optomistic too although having spoken to the dealer it seems they ordered a few cars under staff names and have changed orders meaning a few of us hopefully don't have to wait long.

I can but hope.

You might not want to mention that too much, the dealers have been getting in trouble for things like that!

[rb5er]

I haven't done anything wrong and there are plenty of dealers about without mentioning any.

Buying customers unwanted cars!

Apparently they ordered a lot using various family members I was told but this might be bks

I have an order contracted on the 22nd October (J order) which is currently expected to be delivered in September so that tells you all you need to know about having a recent order delivered in September - short of some freak mistake by Ford!

Sorry, what does that tell you? Mine is also a J order.

[richtea78]

You've got an old order then so you've picked up a cancellation

I have pleasure on finally completing my spec for end of year delivery and would appreciate any comments re my thinking and future re sale impact.

My big dilemma is shell seats. Im 6ft 3 and concerned they don't have height adjustment. Are these seat options seen as very desirable to have with this car?

Many thanks for any comments.

Try both and go with what suits you. You're buying the car for you, not the unknown next owner.

I'm 6 1 and found the CS seats too high but other people who are taller are fine with them. The only way to know is to try them

[Legacywr]

It's not governed by your height, it's the length of your spine that'll make the difference
