MY2023 Aviator Order Timeline Tracking thread

[peterk9]

For which option, do you think?

I edited my reply above. The Lincoln priority is what counts.

I would say Lincoln has you at a Priority 01.

Peter

That's great news and quite unexpected! Hopefully, it'll move along soon! Wish my Raptor order would get the move on, as well! Thanks for your insight.

Received this picture today from my dealer - does this mean I am at Priority 01 within the dealer, or with Lincoln directly? Seems exciting either way I suppose.

A Plan, ey? Active employee. Which plant do you work at? Priority 1 can only be given by the mothership itself. Dealers do 10 to 19 depending on allocation. Lets say your dealer can order 10 Aviators/month, and you walk in Feb 1, before they put a Aviator order in yet this month, he'll likely give you a 10. Now if you order middle or end of the month you'll likely get a 19. It dont really mean much, if anything, because once your order has been confirmed by FOMO, it'll likely be changed to a 10 anyways. Thats how it's been with all my orders.

I'm actually a Z-Plan buyer - my Dad is the retiree from Ford. The order has been confirmed since the day after placing it, I get the 45-day emails from Lincoln themselves. Looking forward to getting some PPF and Ceramic on this thing and hitting the road.

So did I! Ordered my GT on December 1.

Now I gotta hunt down that link to VIN decoder so I can make sure there are no surprises

 

[swoop1156]

I used this one right quick and it says I have a 3.0L 4-cyl...

Ford VIN decoder by Ford VIN lookup

Check vehicle VIN number and learn the history of the car, specification and owner information

Welcome to the Forum.
Did you check the DORA that was produced a day or so after your order was submitted? Your salesperson should have provided a copy of it. That shows exactly what was ordered and the vehicle price. That was the time to check for possible "surprises".

Yes, and I caught them missing my full center console and aluminum interior trim

Still, I'm a belt-and-suspenders kind of guy.

Holy cow, they missed those?! I could care less about the aluminum trim as I'm not nearly invested as much into this as much as I am the Raptor or Mach 1 - but that second-row console is legit (and I also have it on order in mine!) I wonder if we'll be sibling builds!

 

[1pieceatatime]

Yep I'm the same build save for silver/roast.

That's a beautiful build. I didn't want Green nor Sandstone, though this is my wifes daily driver and is what she wanted. I wanted the Black Label GT, Flight Blue, Chalét Theme. Was like $200 more expensive than the loaded non-BL GT, but she insisted on Green. Is what it is! That roast interior I tried very VERY hard for but lost out in the end. I guess I cannot complain with a Mach 1 sitting in the garage and a Raptor on order. Keep in touch regarding your timeline and VIN!

I'm buying this to keep commuting and kid's travel hockey miles off my CTS-V and Power Wagon, so I got to spec it out - but I have a feeling wifey is going to steal it once it's finally here.

Gorgeous. Please post some pictures when you get it. It's a race! Ha!

I went for Silver and Sandstone this time. My 2020 is Ceramic Pearl and Roast interior and I wanted something different this time.

Folks- I just received my build week update today -week of 3/13. I’ve decided that this wait is simply too long for me. Given the fact that it will have been 6 months from order to build date, not even factoring in blending and then shipment (barring any other delays) I’m simply unwilling to wait 8+ months for a vehicle that was supposed to take 5 months. I’ve decided to move on to another vehicle and cancel my BLGT order. Good luck to everyone!!

Good luck to you as well! What did you decide to go with? Where is your BLGT coming to? Maybe someone here could scoop it up and not wait as long as you have already. Sure you don't want to stick it out?

I’m going w the 2023 Volvo XC90 Hybrid
Ultimate. It drives amazingly well and it has a third row which I want. Along w all the bells and whistles. My BLGT car is going to Lincoln in Alexandria VA. Nope - I’m not willing to wait until April or May. That’s a nonstarter for me. I’m over it.

 

[swoop1156]

I think I used to go to that dealer years ago for service. I spent many years in the hustle and bustle of the Beltway. Not too many specific Lincoln dealers there. The Mexican joint across the street is a great place for a margarita while waiting for service. Thanks! Also, the XC90's are nice!

Ditto…it seems Lincoln kicked off the cobwebs from the New Years festivities and finally lined up production for Q1. Week of Feb 27th for me.
