ScooterS Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Hi Everyone! Before I found this great forum, I started a thread on the other (I hope sister) site to help folks track the time from order to delivery. Feel free to participate if you like. You can find it as a sub-topic here. http://fordcmaxhybri...er-and-leasing/ (I hope I'm not breaking any rules with this post, I'm just trying to avoid two parallel threads. Mods, feel free to delete this thread If it shouldn't be here.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMS05 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 The order to delivery time for my CMax is 6 weeks per Ford's dealer software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice-capades Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 The 6 weeks OTD (Order-to-Delivery) should be pretty close based on my experience with dealership orders so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtberman Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hi, I had an 2008 Escape hybrid from 2007 til 2009, and ordered a new C Max on Nov 24. I can't get much info from my dealer and am wondering if there's any way to check the order status. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubadan Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I ordered my C-Max the day after Thanksgiving and the projected build date was "the week of January 21". I haven't received any updates yet from my dealer so I don't know if that has changed or not. Anyone have any guess how long it should take from "build date" to delivery? Thanks.

Mike B Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 My car was scheduled for a build week of Dec 3. It got built on Mon, and I think it was loaded onto a train car by the end of a week. Train took about a week to get down to Atlanta, then we crossed the weekend to get the car to the dealer and then to me. But if you're picking yours up in Michigan, I'd expect it to be a bit faster than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR61 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I ordered a C-Max Energi about 5 days ago, and the dealer said 6 to 8 weeks for delivery to California. However the dealer has yet to supply me with an order number - I hope that is not bad news. If we get it by mid-April I will not be unhappy, but we would like a solid estimate.

Skitime Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I ordered on Jan 11th, and also have no info as far as order number or VIN. Stated 6-8- weeks, so we'll see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetGirl Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I ordered on November 4th. Got my VIN sometime in January, could finally view the window sticker on 2/4. Supposed to be built on 2/8 with ETA of 2/18, but now I'm being told it is still in production. It will be 16 weeks this Saturday. I am beyond frustrated.

chuckokie36 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Here is a site you can go to track your cars, unfortunately cyberdman is out of pocket until after March 4th. An important note. Read the rules and adhere to them all or your car will not be tracked!! http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/forum/80-vehicle-locator-by-ford-employees/ Edited February 19, 2013 by chuckokie36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deermouse Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I ordered on November 4th. Got my VIN sometime in January, could finally view the window sticker on 2/4. Supposed to be built on 2/8 with ETA of 2/18, but now I'm being told it is still in production. It will be 16 weeks this Saturday. I am beyond frustrated. I share your frustration, Gadget Girl. We first placed and order in late October (or thought we did). Turns out the dealer thought they were EV certified to sell Energis, but actually were not, so the order never went through to Ford. I hope that it is not the problem for some people still waiting for confirmation numbers. If you anyone is still waiting for order confirmation number, please check to see if the dealer is really EV certified. Should be possible by using the Ford dealer locator. After many weeks, finally found out why the order was not in, switched to dealer hundreds of miles away to place order (Jan 18) and are now in wait mode all over again. But at least we have a confirmation number! Hope a VIN comes soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurtleMax Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Place an order for C-Max SE back in Feb 19th. Dealer just informed me of the VIN now. Hopefully it will be build soon. Good luck to us all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitime Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Still waiting for the VIN, ordered 1/11. Dealer is not much help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetGirl Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 @Skitime - my dealer is useless too. You need 3 more posts and then you can ask cyberdman for an update - you will need your dealer code, order number, and body style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitime Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The sales lady at the dealer called today, we have a VIN! Progress..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skitime Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 9 weeks from order to build day. Should be getting put together this Friday, and then off to the train! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhea Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Skitime, sorry you had to wait so long, but at least I feel better and think maybe we'll be getting a vin soon. We ordered on Jan. 25. I read in a post in a sister forum from a Canadian that Ford is batching the Energi builds. Maybe this is the current batch. Hopefully it gets out ahead of the next storm (in case those storms have any impact)! We're also watching another vehicle coming to another dealer. It was built on Feb. 2 and still has not arrived. A week ago, they called to say 7-10 days. The ETA was changed several times: 2/18; 2/25; no particular date just 7-10 days from March 1. BTW, love your profile avatar.

Slampro Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Just put the deposit down on our Cmax order on 5/09/13. I was told it would take 8 weeks. The dealer only had se's and 1 no-options sel on the lot. They couldn't find one like I wanted that any dealer would trade with them. After driving the 2008 Escape hybrid since July 2009, and loving it. I can't wait to get this new one. We are trading our FEH for the Cmax. We are getting a black/black Cmax Sel, with 303a options package. Sunroof, mudflaps, and remote start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Green Jeans Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I ordered February 4th. No VIN as of last weekend, so I bought one from the dealer that he just got in. I ordered an Energi 303a w/Pano in Blue Candy with a light tan interior. Bought an Energi in platinum white with charcoal interior 303a w/pano.. Added 35% tint to windows and OEM mud guards. Aprox $1600 off sticker w/$750 customer cash. 76 MPG with two long non plug-in trips. Very happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if your Dealership was able to activate/enable your Daytime Running Lights, (DRL`s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Green Jeans Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I did not activate the DRL's, as I know they use battery energy. I have auto headlights and auto wipers, but will turn on fog lamps and parking lights during light rain. Auto wipers will not turn on headlights until the rain is heavy. The only upgrades I did were OEM mudflaps and 35% tint all the way around, except the windshield, which I did 35% top 6".. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil1336 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Was just curious is your Dealership was able to enable/activate the DRL`s. I`ve heard that it can no longer be done? Toyota Prius has had DRL`sforever and I hardly think that the Battery drain is a concern with a properly working alternator and electrical system that would compensate. What about the Battery drain using the Headlamps at Night? Enjoy your new ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
