Sadly, my dealer has insisted multiple times that they only apply X-plan at the delivery as part of the finance paperwork. Both salesperson and sales manager have said this ? I wish that things could be more consistent and transparent. But I'm hoping they will keep their word on this.

Ya, the communication has been less than stellar. But the order preview sheet showed the price level ordered at, so that should remain the invoice price regardless. I'm trying to remember that I'm not the only client and of course am not as high value since I'm doing X-plan. But I still do wish they were more transparent with vehicle visibility reports and the like. Good luck with the Kent place.

I ordered from the Lynnwood one. No deposit. And as far as I know, price protection is automatic. I have the price preview sheet with the pricing code. I guess here's hoping they don't screw me ?‍♂️

Ask your dealer again, talk to a sales manager if needed. They can look up status at any time. I had to press a few times with my dealer, but they eventually helped. You can also post a bit more in this forum and then use the https://blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/forum/80-vehicle-locator-by-ford-employees/ forum given your Sales Code (L + 5 digit number) and your Order Code (the 1033 you posted) and you might get help there too. I ordered an Aviator BL GT on 2/11 and am currently scheduled to day of 5/6.

Hi again, May I please have a status update and the VIN, if available, for my order? Dealer code: L57186 Order code: R318  2022 Lincoln Aviator Black Label Grand Touring, Flight Blue Thank you!

Hi there -- may I please have order status for this Aviator order? Dealer code: L57186 Order code: R318 2022 Lincoln Aviator Black Label Grand Touring, Flight Blue Thank you so much!

It was, but not anymore.

Welcome! After owning a plug-in hybrid for the last 4 years, I'm never going back. I love how quiet it is when on electric drive. Here's hoping you get yours quick ?

Ooh, nice color. The wheels look great too. Here's hoping you get it soon ?

Ya, it seems to be quite a mess with the chip shortage and supply chain issues generally. Lincoln Aviators are taking 4-6 months too -- especially long for hybrid ones. And it's probably getting worse before it gets better with the war in Ukraine ?

Agree with @akirby -- they've gotta keep something to make the Black Label special

I don't believe that there is any way to directly pull status information using just dealer code and order number. But see my post above for options -- your dealer or the Lincoln Concierge can help until you get a VIN.

Initially, you won't have a VIN as that doesn't get generated until your order is scheduled. The numbers you should have now that you can track with, to some extent, are the Sales Code (usually L followed by 5 digits) and the Order Code (usually 4 alphanumeric characters). Your dealer can access the Vehicle Visibility Report at any time using these numbers and give you a status. I'm hearing the same as others here for Reserve builds -- around 3-4 months. GT builds taking longer, closer to 5-6 months. If your dealer is not being super helpful, you can also call or chat with the Lincoln Concierge on their website. If you give them the Sales Code and Order Code, they can look up the order and give coarse status. With a 3/1 order date, you are likely still in the "Order Processing" state. I ordered a Black Label GT on 2/11 and am also still not scheduled. Later, your order will be scheduled and you'll receive a VIN either directly from Lincoln via email and/or from your dealer. You can use the VIN and Order Code to track the order directly on Lincoln's website: https://shop.lincoln.com/vehicleordertracking#/ Hope this helps.

Hi folks -- nice to meet you. I'm waiting on my first Lincoln -- a new Aviator Black Label Grand Touring. Just wanted to say that I really appreciate all of the detailed information and the folks at Ford who are willing to help with things. I'm one to get a bit excited over things like a new car, so I'm trying to keep close track on progress. But I'm buying with X-plan and I can tell that my salesperson isn't super-excited to answer questions or check status for me. So all of the resources here have been really helpful. Thank you all

No problemo I'm navigating this whole process too. The commodity shortages is the biggest thing causing delays as far as I know, so while you may have a high priority (I think 2 is highest a dealer can set without their regional rep doing something special), your order still won't get scheduled until Ford has the right parts to build it. Here is an older post explaining the whole process that I found handy: https://www.focusrs.org/threads/the-ford-ordering-process-explained-from-start-to-finish.908/

Priority is relative to other orders within that dealer. There's posts around on how the allocation system works, but basically they round robin through dealers, picking up the highest priority order within that dealer's unscheduled orders that can be built given current commodity constraints. 2 is pretty high, so it means that your order would likely be next in line from your dealer as soon as commodity constraints allow.

I've been seeing Reserve orders taking 3-4 months from what I've read on various forums/groups. GT orders longer than that. They just did a round of scheduling into April weeks, so if your car was not scheduled yet, you may be waiting for a May build at this point or later. Have you checked in with your dealer on status?

I have the Volvo equivalent of this on my current XC60 -- it is nice for long interstate drives. I'm excited for CoPilot 2.0 though because it's apparently supposed to work without hands on wheel for most interstate highways. Definitely looking forward to whenever Ford releases the MY23 ordering guide.

With Sync 4, I'm hoping for a larger screen, wireless Apple CarPlay, and OTA updates.

Anyone have any guesses on changes for the upcoming 2023 model year of the Aviator? I'm thinking Sync 4 and CoPilot 360 2.0 are likely. Maybe a bigger battery in the GT?

There are 2 dealers near me in the Seattle area -- one accepts X-plan, the other does not. So just ordered my 2022 Aviator from the one that does ?
