Corsair lead time

[shoude22]

My Corsair build has been bumped another week. So instead of looking at a 3/28 build then a 4/4 build we are at 4/11. I must say that this is getting rather disappointing.

Same here. Ordered 12/28/22.. Keeps getting pushed back.

I ordered one day after you and still no production date.

:-( I have the lowest priority number too at 19!

Mine is a 10! I called Lincoln Concierge last week to check and sure enough, still just in order status. But I did realize the other day that the problem may be that I ordered a Reserve I package instead of just the Reserve, so those extras may be pushing mine back. I fully expected to have it by now. Now I'm hoping for at least sometime in April. My daughter gets her license this coming Tuesday so my current car gets handed down to her. I'll have to drive my bus, I mean Suburban , in the meantime.

I'm not sure how it all works.. All I know is that our dealer has been MIA ever since we ordered so thank goodness for these forums & updates from others!

I had a 19 too, but ordered 11/16 and delivered 1/19. I was lemon law case, but still...

There is a lot that goes into scheduling a vehicle for production. First of all, Lincoln products represent approximately 10% of the total production at an assembly plant. The highest volume of Lincoln will be the Standard trim level at around 50%. Reserve will make up the next biggest block at 41% and Grand Touring is the smallest block at 9%. Keep in mind that 9% is from the 10% Lincoln production in the assembly plant, or 0.9% of total production volume. The spread among the trim levels comes from Lincoln's own estimates in their dealer order guides.

Then you add in commodity shortages like microchips and most recently black leather that also impacts production. The commodity shortages were getting better until Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine provides 90% of neon in the world. Neon is used in the production of microchips.

Vehicles with higher option content like the GT create more complexity in the assembly process so they are spaced out to minimize the impact to production.

I know this isn't what you wanted to hear but it comes from the experience of a guy who has spent 35+ years in automobile assembly plants.

Just be patient and good luck!

DAMN!! Thanks for sharing. My inner geek was amazed. The stuff you JUST dont know.

Don’t let it get you down, it’s the reality of production right now. My 10/8 order was scheduled for 1/31, then 2/7, then the plant idled for two weeks due to chip shortages and it finally rolled off 2/25. Four+ months from order to build is pretty normal these days.

Ordered 1/19, received production date 4/4, a few weeks ago. Monday I received new production date 3/28. I ordered Reserve monochromatic black, from Columbus, Ohio.

I finally got an email from Lincoln, but only to tell me my production time has been extended. Yet, I've never received a production date, so how can it be extended? Has anyone else received this?

I wonder if they sent that email by mistake? I also received that email late last night, despite the fact that my Corsair is already built and shipped.

Maybe it went to everyone then with an order because they are so far behind. Who knows? My patience is wearing thin though. I just want a production date!!! It's been 3 months!

My order was placed on 9/19/21. I just got a production of 4/8 2 weeks ago.

Geez! That's ridiculous! Did you order a GT? I know those have a longer wait time. I ordered a Reserve I package.

I want to place a custom order for a 22 Reserve, but I’m going to be out of the country for over a month in about 3 months… and I’ll be living across the country once I get back, so I’ll need a car almost immediately. Does anyone have an idea how long dealerships will allow a custom ordered car to sit at the dealership before fining me or getting pissy, or worse, letting others test drive it?

I would think the best plan is to ask the dealer.

They won't do any of those things... they'll sell it instead.

Damn, even if I paid deposit??? Worth asking then, as JB IN AZ said. I’ll do that.

I received this email twice today, back-to-back:

"Thank you again for placing your 2022 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring order.

Including certain features and options can sometimes add to vehicle production time.

Rest assured that any delay is in the interest of producing the highest‑quality vehicle. We’ll be in touch as soon as yours is scheduled for production."

I ordered a fully equipped, all packages, GT bronze smoke, in early January. I think I'll cancel that order, and order a 2023 as soon as I can. I don't really need it until winter, when the Mustang goes into hibernation.

Yep, I think your deposit may be forfeited and the car sold to another buyer if you don't pick it up.
