Dedonut Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Stentgraft95- Well, I guess billtkat doesn't feel the same as we do about surprises!

xgman Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I'll be happy when I hear someone's pre-order has at least started to be built. Insead of dumb posters ans whiskey, I wish they would send out some rebate coupons or "Lincoln cash" offers, ie: something useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless, perhaps the gifs come at a different time than that of the poster. Thanks for the link too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgman Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Rebate coupons on a new car that hasn't even started shipping yet? I don't get it. I had 2 sent to me when I pre-ordered the 2011 MKZ Hybrid. By the way, just spoke with Lincoln and it doesn't appear anyone's pre-order is underway as of today. I guess it should be any time now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't understand why you'd expect and/or demand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stentgraft95 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 I'm planning on placing my order in mid January so you're obviously ahead of me in your progress. So did your $600.00 - $700.00 dollar gifts arrive separately from your poster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billtkat Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Yes it did. I did get it before the poster. My pre-order was done 8/19 so maybe if you have not ordered then no gift Reading the brochure it says unique selection of customized gifts for those who pre-order by 11/17/12 and take delivery by 4/1/13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedonut Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 billtkat- Any gifts related to the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgman Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) billtkat- Any gifts related to the car? wine, liquor, hotel stay, custom sun glasses, ring, yawn . . . . . (probably go with the hotel stay a night or 2 somewhere just for the heck of it) Edited November 6, 2012 by xgman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedonut Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Surprises me that they're unrelated, but they're nice to get. Ford doesn't have to do any of it. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgman Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) The latest model build dates chart from 11/6 shows: 2013 Lincoln MKZ/ MKZ Hybrid 10-12 (A) No restrictions *Lead time estimates factor in normal transportation time of 10-14 days. Lead time does not factor in upfitting. Please add an additional one to three weeks on vehicles destined for the Western States, Alaska, Hawaii or east and west provinces of Canada. So it appears I wouldn't expect any deliveries of pre-orders before January-February? 10-12 weeks? That's a long time from now.

Dedonut Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I'm also waiting on the hybrid. At least that one wasn't delayed again. It appears the gas engine model start date was moved again to 11/6! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgman Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 This will end up being a 2013 model that actually is delivered in 2013. You don't see that much anymore. Seems like it will be old (model year wise) in less that 12 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it will be old (model year wise) in less that 12 months. The 2014 will probably debut next summer or early fall - not any later. 2013 will just be a short year.

Dedonut Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 This now raises a couple of questions for me. Do I get the 2013 asap? If I wait until April, when my lease is up, why not wait another 4 months or so for the 2014? Otherwise, I could have a car that ends up being a year old after only about 4 months.

(LOL) It was the car - It was the white pre-production one seen on you tube - The rep is on a road trip going around to different dealers. He did say they are looking for the first couple weeks in Dec to be in dealers as the all the first ones will be inspected before they go out.

Dedonut Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Was it the hybrid? Hasn't startup on the gas engine been delayed to 11/06? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
