I ordered a 2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid on 6-20-07 and was told by the people at the dealership that delivery could take until October. I have the DORA and it shows Priority 20, Order Type X, Order Receipt Date 6-20-07, and a partial VIN #2CU29H 8. I was told that the complete VIN would not be assigned until manufacturing is scheduled. Am aware that only 100 cars are produced per day, that orders have increased dramatically in recent months, and that deliveries have slowed due to the demand. Also have read that nothing can be tracked without a VIN #. Am I correct in assuming that I can find out nothing until manufacturing is scheduled and I receive a VIN number?
