flashfearless Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Has anyone been able to check the T88 body code with ERL yet? I don't have a VIN to work off of, so this is currently my only option. Nope. I would advise you to talk to Customer Service... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makemystang Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Has anyone been able to check the T88 body code with ERL yet? I don't have a VIN to work off of, so this is currently my only option. I asked a dealer today a question about the GT500. My question was: I have heard that there is a weight problem with the car and are not shipping yet. It appears that they may need to reduce the weight by removing the Shaker 1000. Is this correct? Will shipping be delayed? Is there a price adjustment if they replace the S-1000 with the S-500. The price difference is 1400.00 between the two. His answer was: I do know that they will not be making any convertibles right now with the Shaker 1000. We were not given a reason, only told it was a quality issue. I also would assume the price would be less as the Shaker 1000 was an option and the Shaker 500 is standard equipment.

jay00f4 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Is there anyway for someone to find out info about my car? My salesman is gone for 2 weeks and it has been 5 weeks since I ordered it. I don't have the order number but I have the dealer number and know the options that I ordered. Is there anyone on the inside that can tell me if there is an order with the options I have going to the dealer # I have?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc@kentucky Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Finally talked to Customer Service today. After some prying, I was told that the vehicle is on "material hold".

That's all I could do for him anyway. It appeared he was asking for more info akin to what Dr. K and Sparky could provide... BTW, no car arrival today. Maybe tomorrow?

You know those will be a long wait, and you should consider dropping the 1000 or going hardtop?

Check out themustangsource.com for gobs and gobs of threads on the GT500 Not a convertible, but a black coupe with the Shaker 1000. I haven't heard anything regarding a problem with the Shaker 1000 in a coupe yet, and I've seen pics of a few that have shipped with this option, so I don't know what exactly the "material hold" refers to..

If you don't have the number here it is: 1-800-392-3673 I hate calling these phone systems but it is very easy and most Ford people are very helpful. When you call you get the usuall list of options. Just press #6. At the next option I think you press #2 the last option. Then a rep will ask for your VIN number, so have that handy. He will ask what you want. Tell him you ordered a 2007 Mustang or whatever, and you want to check on the status. Thats it. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jims07GT Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 WingMan75, Couple of things. 1) How did you get your produced date??, 2) ERL tells me today that as of Aug 7 I am locked in for production week of Aug 7, ETA dealership week of Aug 15, and 3) I just got off the phone with the Costomer Relations number - the only information he could tell me was an ETA between Aug 15 and Aug 22. Starting to wonder if the ERL is indeed a tease. Weird how the left doesn't talk to the right. :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashfearless Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I called Customer Service this morning and they said it was "bucked" in production today. Congratulations, you have a partial birth , usually not stillborn...Sorry bad humor... I was told ETA of 8/18 but it could be sooner. That is an estimate. Where are located? We've seen like 14 days to CA, 6-9 days to Philly.... Some Ford reps are not very forethcoming with info. The gentleman I spoke with today was very helpful. As with any other Customer Service inquiry, I look at it like it is the luck of the draw of who you get. I never would have known my unit was bucked when it was unless I heard the girl reading the screen to herself, and reading the word bucked. I had to explain to her what I thought that bucked was... I tried calling ERL but could not figure out the how to get there. Did you go directly to ERL or to a live rep? Dial the number, hit option 2, hit the '*' to cut her off in mid-sentence and speak your peace...Do it in a quiet setting so it doesn't pick up anything in the background. Good Luck.

Hey fearless why are you online and not in the grabber? Or do you have a laptop in your lap? I live about 25 or 30 Miles from Flatrock in Sterling Heights, my dealer is in Warren, home of the GM tech center. Funny, when I talked to the Ford guy today he said its bucked but I forgot what that means I'll have to look it up. I still take a peek at your car now and again. Lucky guy. Chip, Flash, All, Thanks. Will keep trying the ERL. Spoke with Barry, Customer Relations, nice, courteous, but only info was ETA. Guess I'll wear out the phone. Thanks again. Your dates look better than mine. FROM: Receipt Date: 7/11/06 TO: Arrival Date: ETA dealership week of 8/15 My Dates: FROM: Receipt Date: 6/12 TO: Arrival Date: ETA dealership week of 8/18 That makes no sense to me. An extra month.

If you're bucked then your car is ready to be built, all parts for its assembly are at the plant and should be finished by tomorrow. -Chip in SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad I can't just buzz over to the plant and drive it away tomorrow. Its hard to take when they say ETA 8/18. Do you know how I can get my Window Sticker PDF?
