pluggedin Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The vehicle order confirmation they sent me shows job #2, but it also shows order #9999. Not sure what that means as it's the first Ford I've ordered. Anyhow, waiting to see... My guess is that the #9999 is your dealer's order entry number. Your actual factory order number should be different and it should be available to you through your salesman by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely, this just a dealer "placeholder" number used by the dealer to get an order into the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rprobst Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 My order has now reached the exalted status of "unscheduled - clean". I feel like I've just earned my yellow belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pluggedin, looks you may be the first or at least one of the first retail orders!!! Congrats! What was your priority code. Maybe the dealer got it escalated to an 01?

taylorjd Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 From what my dealer tells me is that he believes that Stock orders are done before Customer Orders. So PluggedIn must of got his ordered as Stock, which the dealer is not suppose to do. That "/T 2" means Stock or Type 2 on the sticker. The question is how long until the Customer Orders are built? That may also be the Job 1 and Job 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may also be the Job 1 and Job 2. Not that uncommon a practice. My first order was a Hybrid SE and the dealer put it in as stock back in June 2012. It arrived damaged and that resulted in my Hybrid Ti order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechOps Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Never mind.. I see you ordered a Hybrid Ti; I ordered an Energi Ti, so still not sure whether they'll accept the order in Sterling Grey. Hi,I'm interested in your order, as I also ordered an Energi Ti - Sterling Grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckokie36 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Never mind.. I see you ordered a Hybrid Ti; I ordered an Energi Ti, so still not sure whether they'll accept the order in Sterling Grey. That color is not on the build and price for an energi Ti.

TechOps Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 That color is not on the build and price for an energi Ti. True. I suppose my ultimate question is whether build and price is the gold standard for what their ordering system / team will accept, or is it possible to order a combination that's not actually represented there, since that's what my dealer salesman told me they did. Does that make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckokie36 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) The gold standard is when they enter the order in Fords online ordering system and try to enter an order with that color, if the system accepts the order and you get an order number I think you are good to go!!

Fastronaut Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Well, I changed my exterior from Deep Impact Blue to Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat and am waiting for the DORA on Wednesday or Thursday to see if it's accepted. If it is, I hope it doesn't throw me to the end of the line. If it does, you can all thank me for advancing your place in line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is a DORA and how long should you wait for word from the dealer after your initial order is placed? Thanks! DORA = Dealer Order Receipt Acknowledgement The priced DORA shows a commitment on the part of Ford to build the vehicle. It usually takes only 2-3 business days to come back. Your dealer should be able to give you a copy. If you want to stay on top of things, check with your Dealer after three business days to confirm that your order has been accepted by the dealership receiving a DORA. The next thing you want is a scheduled build date. You can contact the dealership to get that status. Scheduling takes place on Thursday nights, so Friday is a good time to call for a check on status. You can also get status from Ford Customer Care at (800) 334-4375. Allow 6-8 weeks from your Build Schedule date to receiving the car to be "safe". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
