I ordered my XR6T in January and had a confimred build date of 26th April with an expected delivery of 2nd or 3rd week of May.

On Wednesday of this week my family am I took my current car to the dealer to let them have have a look at it for a trade in.

As we approached I pointed out a Blood Orage XR?? (couldnt tell from a distance what sort) in the dealer driveway. I explained to my wife that is the same colour as I had ordered. As we pulled into the driveway I noticed it was a Turbo....hmmm... that when I started to get excited. I was thinking "how many Blood Orange XR6Ts could this dealer have waiting delivery... So I jumped out and had a look....

does it have leather....yes

side airbags....yes

premium sound....yes

By now I was pretty sure. Then I noticed all the stickers on the window, one of them had a SIDO on it......it was my car!!!

It turned out that it had arrived that morning and it will be detailed and accesoriesed ready for delivery by next Wednesday.

The salesman even gave me the keys and told me "you can take it for a bit of a squirt if you like". So off I went. It only had 22kms on the clock.

He told me that Ford have been having all sorts of build issues that have resulted in May cars being delivered in early April..... So fo reveryone still waiting this is a little ray of hope.

Thanks fantastic mate.. congratulations Would love to see some pics when you take delivery of it!

could I be cheeky and ask what dealer your dealing with

as this is a very quick time frame

Nice to hear Cam. Now that's a bonus ! ! !

I too, have a confirmed 14th April build date, my dealer

has told me a month to delivery.

( Ordered March 11. )

I hope I'm as fortunate as you to get del. so quick mate.

As it is , we were originally told at time of ordering, that 3 months would be the likely wait.

That was'nt hard to understand, being as popular as our choice of excellence has proved to be.

( Just cant hang on much longer anways, so this is welcome news , that's for sure.. )

Enjoy your new beast, and may thus machine reward your choice.

Pacific Ford - North of Brisbane.

But it doesnt seem that quick to me... Ordered end of January devlivery end of April... that's 3 months, sounds about normal from what most people are getting. The bonus is I was expecting closer to four months.

the time frame is definatley not quick. I ordered mine start of january and picked up on 23rd of April, not that much difference.

to cam and turbo6

I ordered my turbo ute on the 2 oct 2002

recieved it on the 21 mar 2003

and the dealer didnt want to deliver it till late march

the only extra was leather

that's nearly 6 months

but I,m very happy with it nearly 5000km on it and not a single problem at all

I,m very impressed

I went into Klosters Ford Newcastle on Saturday just gone and asked about delivery times and the salesman told me September delivery if ordered today! Asked him for a test drive and he said put an order in and you will get a drive! Guess who ain't dealing with Klosters?

September?

What drug are they on.

I must be the luckiest turbo owner alive. I ordered my turbo ute 16th Dec and took delivery 7th Feb and Ford were closed for nearly 3 weeks of that time.
