Pioneer: thank you very much for that information! Fingers crossed that it arrives on or before 6/3/16, that's when my $750 private cash offer expires!

Pioneer: any chance you could help me establish my ETA? I asked last week and the Scheduled To Day is today, 5/16/2016. My salesman tells me he doesn't have an ETA yet. Thanks, BTW the Dealer code is F27009 and order # is 0321.

It also says "take new retail delivery from dealer stock by June 3, 2016. See dealer for details." I am wondering what would happen if my factory order isn't delivered by June 3. Let's hope my salesman honors it. That would be a great deal if it works out. Allegedly my car was built last week and should be ready this week for shipment. They say to allow an additional two weeks for delivery, which would be right around June1.

Yesterday I got a brochure from Ford in the mail with a $750 private cash offer attached. I've read about these on here in the forums but don't know if they're applicable towards a factory order. The fine print says it can be used towards 2015//2016/2017 vehicles, and that its in addition to any public incentives like the 2 $250 offers currently in effect. I'm going to contact my dealer tomorrow and see what's up.

I would agree with that. I test drove a Fusion Platinum and it drove essentially the same way the other Fusions did. Most of the changes are cosmetic (lights, chrome strip on rear), but the interior has nice enhancements. I especially love the new Sync 3 system. It's a vast improvement over MFT.

Looks a lot like a cross between a Bentley and a Jag.

Thanks very much. I did actually try to do that this morning, but it never would paste the URL from Fuelly into my signature block. There's a "Special BBCode" icon you can click on, but then about 8-9 options come up and no matter which I chose, it wouldn't paste. I think I'll just forget about it for now. Thanks, anyway!

I'm the same way. I shopped around a LOT last year and ended up with a Honda Accord. It's a really nice car, but I had a very hard time deciding between it and the Fusion. Now I'm getting a 2017 Fusion and can't wait for it. BTW you and I both live in the same area, VA right near DC.

murphy62, can you tell me how you got your Fuelly banner to show? I tried copying mine and pasting it into my Signature as instructed (both BBCode and HTML), and it didn't work. I couldn't find any guidance here. Thanks!

My salesman was pretty cool about it, he said his discounted price was in addition to any subsequent Ford incentives. All I've seen so far for the 2017 Fusions have been the $250 Retail Cash and $250 Customer Cash. You can also get a $500 discount if coming from a competitor model's lease and you lease the new vehicle. However, I'm not financing so that doesn't apply to me.

Thank you so much!

Woo hoo, well we won't be hearing from you for a while, huh? Congrats!!

PM'd you the dealer name...

Yeah, I did send a tweet to FordService yesterday and am awaiting their reply. I'm not really *that* much in a hurry, still trying to sell my current vehicle and it's taking a long time. But I like tracking stuff, that's just how I am. :blush. Would love to see some pics when your Mustang comes in. Sure it'll be awesome! I imagine you'll be able to wind it out much more than I could here in the DC 'burbs, LOL.

Thanks, did that this morning and I read the rules both yesterday and again today before posting. Thanks for your help and suggestions. Nice to see your Stang is in transit now. You must be getting excited.

Thanks, but I tried that one yesterday and got the same "no match" message. So far, I've tried www.cotusb.ford.com, www.cotus.ford.com, http://wwwqa.cotusa.ford.com, and www.cotusa.ford.com, always with the same outcome. Any others? :-) I also tried the ETIS site but although it gives the correct factory name and engine type, it shows the vehicle as a Transit Connect from 2002! I've been told to ignore the vehicle name, but 2002? Hmm... What do you mean by "it took a little bit before I could see actually it?" Do you mean the site took a few seconds to display the info, or it took days or weeks to show up?

Thank you very much, not only is that great news, it also confirms what my sales rep said, i.e. that the car is ahead of schedule. BTW a little envious of your MPGe, if I had the $ and a place to plug it in, I might be an Energi driver, too. Thanks again for the information.

"A matching vehicle could not be determined. Please contact your dealer to get status updated about your order." This is the same message I've gotten on all of the other sites. I think the simple fact is that their ordering system doesn't work. I've tried other VINs from other Ford customers (including both delivered vehicles and ones still on order) and the response is always the same.

Congratulations! Mustang looks awesome. If you don't mind my asking, how long did it take for your car to show up on cotusb? I've tried ever since my order was placed over a month ago, and it can never find it. I have the VIN and now the window sticker, but www.cotusb.ford.com (and without the "b") always says "a matching vehicle could not be found."

3FA6P0HD1HR121795 Thank you!

Ditto for me, below the ITEM# line it says XXXXX X XX XX XXX XXXXXX 05 09 16 (I can provide the text for the "X"-d out information, if necessary). The date 05/10/2016 is shown at the very bottom-I believe that refers to the date the window sticker first became available. Mine is also a special order, as helicopter's.

OK, based on that I think I'm already getting a great deal. Thank you.
