Nkempf01 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Me too...I ordered my kona blue titanium hatch...on January 18th...built May 2nd and I still don't have it. I'm not very happy with Ford right now. Tomorrow will be 4 months exactly...thats too long. I don't care what anyone says. Based on a lot of feedback from others here, some ordered as early as November if I remember correctly and just got their within the past 2-3 weeks it seems. Even built on May 2nd, from others, it seems your still well within standard delivery time frames there, unfortunately. I imagine you must be by now!

fusion37 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Ordered Nov. 10, 2010. Build date tomorrow - May 19, 2011. ETA: who knows? Reason for delay: parts availability? dealer priority? scheduling process? Who knows? Saw a post a few minutes ago about rail shipping and the problems therein. Agree that when you're dealing with the railroads, that presents another dimension..... Mine should come by truck but, again, who knows?

If you don't mind me asking, where are you located in relation to Dearborn? I posted about the rail shipping issues with information I received from the Ford account manager I go through for my corporation, and if your more than a few hundred miles from Dearborn, your car, unfortunately, will spend some time on a rail.

Located in Eastern Tennessee. Past experience with ordering cars that are built in Michigan is that they come down I-75 by truck - only about an 8-hour trip. Not aware of any rail station closer than Atlanta were cars could be off-loaded and then "trucked." But, things could have changed....

But you may still be correct. If it is my truck the whole way, thats probably a good thing for you, as its easier to make your location either the first drop off or one of the last on delivery routes. But who the heck knows!

I stand corrected. Talked to my dealer today and he says cars from Detroit to his dealership go by rail to a "mixing yard," usually in Kentucky, and are loaded on trailers, with other makes, for truck delivery to this area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chibana Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Here are the photos I just took today at the dealer. The car's getting prepped and having remote start installed Monday, and I pick it up Monday afternoon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did to some degree, but then again, I live only 1.5 hours from the factory, and it was there for more than three weeks after it was built, which drove me even more nuts!

The car's getting prepped and having remote start installed Monday, and I pick it up Monday afternoon! Looks great! I'm thinking you ordered my car exactly...not sure about what options you have besides the obvious 18" wheels...titanium package and MFT...but it definitely looks the same. Getting mine in a few hours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysticbluebmw Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I love so much how these cars look with the handling package, just beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chibana Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I got a chance to wash my new Focus and take some proper photos. Here are a few from my Google Picasa web album (https://picasaweb.google.com/mushinkarate/My2012Focus?feat=directlink). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClutchTime Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I picked up my Red Candy sedan on Saturday! It's a base Titanium besides the paint option. So far so good! (I'm a bit of a noob here, can someone explain how to insert pictures inline with the text? Or, let me know if there's a FAQ somewhere that I missed. Thanks) I have no idea about your pic question but that's a beautiful car. I like the second pic of a Titanium Focus in front of the titanium SR71. Is that #17959, the "big tail"?

ClutchTime Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Yep, its the SR-71 at the USAF Armament Museum at Eglin AFB. (Better picture of the airplane ) Cool. I live near the Virginia Aviation Museum where tail # 17968 resides out front next to the last F-14 to trap on a carrier. You've made me think about heading over there for a pic with mine. I guess that will have to wait for me to wash it again after my wife gets back with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdj Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Hello, Just joined here when I ran across this site and though id post some pics of my new white titanium hatch. So far the car is awesome, just put over 1k miles (been averaging 25 in city and 35 on hilly roads). I was really sad to sell my 2000 twilight blue zx3, but the transition to the '012 has been great the whole set can be seen here.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

630land Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 The may-sayers from months ago claimed that "No one will pay over $20K for a Focus", and with all the Titaniums selling, they are wrong as usual. Where are they now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
