mogur Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Indeed. Ours is there now, never to be resurrected. Yeah, it will end up stored in the basement. My last one did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smross Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I ordered 2013 Escape on July 10/12, they tell me it's made but still hasn't showed up at dealership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PajamaGuy Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Ordered 8/28. Got VIN on Sept 14th and was told it was expected to be built 1st week of Oct. On the 25th, I got a build date of Oct. 6th, and a due-at-dealer Oct 22. Yesterday afternoon, my Window Sticker was posted. - Validating BLEND date of 10/06. Your dealer should be able to tell you exactly where it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 smross' is probably a 1.6 EcoBoost having all its recalls performed before delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haywire52 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Ordered my escape aug 11 build date sept 27. don't have a delivery date yet. seems orders coming to the great white north take longer to get here. freinds of ours ordered a escape from order date to arrival 87 days. way to long . I told my dealer 9 weeks max or he will have it for sale on his lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PajamaGuy Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I wish I was 55... http://www.etis.ford.com/home.do If you haven't done it yet, look up your VIN on this site, then expand the "Minor Features" section. Pretty cool reading... PJ :reading: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlavigne Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I guess we were lucky or had the right combination: we were quoted 6-8 weeks for delivery for an SEL w/sunroof (2.0l), and it showed up after only 6 weeks.... Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidg716 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Ordered my Ginger Ale SE 2.0 on 10/3 Got the VIN 10/10, Build date supposed to be 10/19. Cant Wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamusbleu Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Ordered my Tit AWD on 9/11, found out about the VIN # on 9/22, picked it up on 10/12. Amazingly fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escapism Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Yes, this is all amazingly fast, but my first knee jerk reaction is why did my lift gate get installed so far out of alignment at the factory? I would of rather waited an additional two weeks for my order than to deal with these problems after delivery. Don't get me wrong. I don't want to be a debbie downer, but I have a feeling the demand is so good that QC is suffering somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 And I thought demand was in the toilet after reading the rebate thread and seeing what is being offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidg716 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I'm a bit worried that mine is scheduled to be built on a Friday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PajamaGuy Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) Well - I'd take a Friday. Mine was started last Saturday, and finished on Sunday - doesn't that just give me a warm fuzzy.......!

davidg716 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) I suppose Saturday would be worse...got all the people hung-over from partying Friday night... As long as it doesn’t leak i'll be happy. Edited October 12, 2012 by davidg716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Just remember, a lot of the supposed high quality foreign stuff is now assembled by hard partying Americans now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PajamaGuy Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I touched it. I drove past the dealer this morning (7:45) and saw an empty car carrier leaving. Mine was there - they unlocked it and let me drool. Hope to have it prepped and delivered today! I did a cursory walk-around and snapped some pics. I can't spot any misalignments - ?

Escape'13 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Just found out my Escape was built yesterday (10/25/12). Does anyone have a feel for how long it takes to reach the dealership on average? Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
