I ordered my car on the 29th of march, got it 7 weeks later (auto, prem. sound & tow bar). Which dealer are you getting it through? Mine came through our Victorian sponsor - fantastic service I might add. :D Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/4825-what-options-what-wait/page/2/#findComment-38226 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But time will tell. At no time was I told that certain options would cause more of a delay. Here's hoping. Oh yeah, still no SIDO after 5 weeks.

clyde Member 71 Member For: 22y 1m 27d Location: Sydney Posted 23/07/03 07:46 AM Share Posted 23/07/03 07:46 AM Premium sound was one the things I was told is holding up a lot of cars. When I asked what was the wait on Fairmont Ghias I was told 2 months. Go figure, sounds like bullsh*t to me. I have been told 6mths wait, so it must be something other than premium sound. I am absolutely sick of being lied to and am now thinking of cancelling and buying something else.

I hope they are but they are finally making a profit and it seems that they don't really care about the enthusiasts like us. They care more about the people who don't know anything about anything.

chief Member 166 Member For: 21y 10m 23d Location: Melbourne Posted 23/07/03 08:51 AM Author Share Posted 23/07/03 08:51 AM Yeah so it definitely looks like the premo sound and the sun roof are the main culprits for the really extra long waits. With the exception of a couple that are near standard ... that's just totally bloody mind boggling!So KEN 24T your just waiting on the delivery now? You could probably hire a limo burn down to the factory drink some bollinger and still have change from the money you have to pay for dealer delivery. Its a rip off in the first place, & when you paying that much you'd expect bloody good delivery!

The more I think about it, the angrier I get. They could have put it on a train and It would have been here sooner ...

No doors, guards bonnet etc. sounds like a project car! :D Cameron Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/4825-what-options-what-wait/page/2/#findComment-38405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
