That's understandable since the 9000 are already sitting in a lot. But you would think they would also need "all hands on deck" to clear the lots for the batch as they have to have somewhere to stage them before shipping. It's all disappointing. My wife is already second guessing the decision to get the car and I can't find anything similar that isn't "ugly" or even more expensive.
I received a similar update from my Dealer today, with an estimated delivery of July 11-17. This is was a production date of March 29.
I have a feeling that's an optimistic date but I hope that your dealer is correct.
Pulled my aviator order today and went to the Navigator L, picking up Monday. Not as sporty but bigger. These children can only wait so long so I had to pull the trigger.
This may not mean much, but 40 Aviators reappeared on my Dealer's inventory website today after having been unlisted for a couple weeks, including mine as "in transit". The Lincoln tracking website still says "in production" from March 29.
Have you spoken to the dealership about possibly reversing the payment and seeing if you could put less money down? I've only had to put a downpayment on the 1st of the 5 vehicles that I have leased from my dealership. I'm guessing that it will likely be at least another month before things start moving again. Have you considered a short-term bank loan to pay the card off?
Thank you. I just called dealer, who said he would need to ask manager who is off today. When I ordered it 3/9, I was told it would go into production 4/23 (they tweaked an existing order), so a tenative arrival date of mid-May was given to me. The only other time I heard from the dealer was when I called them toward the end of May and they were still hopeful for an early June arrival. It still says In production 5/2, and last update was 5/2. I just feel like $2500 is a lot of money to hold on to if the car is not ariving until July or August, which I am getting the sense may be the more accurate timeline based on all of you on this thread. Thanks so much for the responses. It is not breaking the bank for me by any means, so no need to take out a bank loan, just seems like an expense (the monthly interest I am paying on my down payment) I do not really deserve to have.
I ordered mine on Oct. 31st. Although the tracker shows it in Production, my salesman was able to print out a page for me yesterday showing it has been "Produced".
Meanwhile, when I suggested to my dealer that they perhaps take a $1000 deposit versus the $2500 they took from me and cashed, he gave me some convoluted solution, which was basically that they could refund the $2500 to my credit card once I come in with a $2500 check. I felt like they insulted my intelligence, and also his message on my answering machine, Which he left after consulting his manager, began “we’ve never had this question before,” as if I was being so cheap or greedy. Meanwhile, I just felt like them holding my $2500 in definitely seemed like a big ask. Especially considering, as I said in the previous post, I cannot sell my current vehicle, because I need to drive it if my new car is not ready yet.
You put the $2500 on your credit card so the dealer didn't cash it. So in a matter of speaking, you cashed the $2500. I'm guessing this is the first time you have dealt with this dealer. Of the 5 vehicles I've leased from my dealer, they only asked for a deposit ($2000) on the first one.
