dtorres Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Anyone know when when Ford is going to give the O. K. to ship to the C-Max? Someone mentioned that they are piling up around MAP but haven't received Ford's O. K. to ship to dealers yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Anyone know when when Ford is going to give the O. K. to ship to the C-Max? Someone mentioned that they are piling up around MAP but haven't received Ford's O. K. to ship to dealers yet. Nobody knows exactly. If it's like other Ford vehicles they must build 5 days in a row without a single problem. Every time a problem is found the 5 day clock starts over. Could be a few days - could be a couple of weeks or longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkell Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I saw one last week on the back of a transport truck between Columbus and Dayton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtorres Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 My C-Max on Friday. After two days of driving I have absolutely no complaints and love this car! I have been averaging about 40mpg after 100 miles on the odometer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds91776 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Dtorres, congrats on the new car! I'm really excited about the C-Max ( wish they picked a different name...but oh well ) and if I was in the market for a new car it would be near the top of my list. If you have the time I'd love a detailed review from an actual owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 My wife and I test drove a CMax this past Saturday. I think we will be placing an order for one sometime this week. What is the current delivery expectation for a new order? The sale rep we worked with said 6 - 8 week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtorres Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) 6 to 8 weeks is standard if there are no delays. I ordered first week of August, it was made first week of September and it is still sitting at the factory awaiting shipment. Due to the delay my dealer let me switch to a similar one he already had. I think a better choice than ordering is looking at local dealer's inventory through Ford's website to find one you like. Then go there or ask your dealer of choice if they can transfer it. When looking at Ford's inventory list any thing that says "dealer ordered" has not arrived yet. If it doesn't say "dealer ordered" then it's on their lot or in shipment and should arrive in 1 to 2 weeks.

maddog2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Thanks dtorres. The dealer did a 300 mile radius search and did not find what we wanted. Hopefully - the 6 - 8 week timeframe will be accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScooterS Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I ordered mine a week ago. i was told 6-8 weeks for delivery. I also understand that there has been a huge backlog of all Ford vehicles that have arrived by train here in TX (San Antonio?) and haven't been processed for shipping to dealers.
