SMSgt B Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I dont think your production status was a glitch afterall. Many of the pre-orders have gone into production. you have an ETA of Feb 25th. See status in beg of thread. SWEET!!!! Thanks for not bursting my bubble and the updated info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timf Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hey on other question, can someone go look at my window sticker for the build date? It is not making sense..... HRM-000264 AZ 9-Normal ND, 100264, DA301 6231 Thoughts? The build date is not shown on the Hermosillo window stickers. To find the true build date, go to www.etis.ford.com then click on the Vehicle tab and enter the VIN. A date of 30.11.0002 indicates it hasn't been built yet, which is what your VIN currently shows.

Not sure that I understand that. If a MKZ takes about 20 hours to build and it was sent to production on the 29th as SGT's was then technically the ETIS site should show that date right? But it does not it shows the 30.11.0002 date. Either A.) Just because an order is sent to production it does not complete that day or B.) The ETIS site is not updated dynamically and thus shows old information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgman Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 You got nothin..... yet, I had nothin yesterday so keep the faith brother!! I think we really need to to track SGT's car as best we can as I think that will really provide clarity in the build, QA, transportation, Delivery process. Hopefully MKZtracker will be able to provide some or all of this information for all concerned. Agreed. I wish we had a few more to track as well. At least some movement. Is anyone who had a Feb 9th yesterday gone to production yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A BIG THANKS to mkztracker who is helping us get some up to date info that doesn't seem available even through Lincoln customer service and that most dealers don't want to be bothered with. The ETIS site is probably just not in real time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanner, Check out the attachment ... I've heard this is the build day and it does coincide with the data MKZTracker has provided.

billtkat Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Not my September order unfortunately. Not my Aug 18th order either. I guess it pays not to rush out and order (LOL) In fact I would love someone to explain why mine would be sent down the line after ones ordered afterwards. I did not order the ginger ale color or the seats that showed late availability either - Or maybe it is another joy of living here in the middle of nowhere Indiana ?

Well we could easily get worked up about this, (and I am getting plenty grumpy) but I'm guessing that unless ours gets delayed again, the weeks production will likely all go out after inspection together? The truth is, if I knew what I know now, I would have bought a different model car last Fall. This whole process has been ridiculous.

billtkat Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Yeah - I was really just being sarcastic . It seems it is all getting close and glad to hear others are getting them so I can not be too far behind. I did however learn through this process when I buy my next car I will look for something already out there before ordering. This one is for my wife, mine will be in a couple years when I replace my 03 Miata with another convertible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgman Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Billkat, try calling Lincoln. I called and they said mine is now just "in production" as of today's date, so I guess we will soon see status ETA's and window stickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serraph Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Bill & XG yeah I couldn't find your window sticker either which is weird. I looked up several of the others and Mark seems to be getting his really soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanner83 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Hi Guys, just read this memorandum from Ford. In the article you will see a guy named Kevin Cour is mentioned. I have been working with Kevin on my car and just sent him an email in regards to whether our Pre-Orders will be affected by having to be sent off site to Flat Rock for QC. I will post any email that I receive from him if I get an answers. You probably all have seen this memorandum before but you can find it here:http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130201/OEM01/130209990/ford-adds-lincoln-mkz-inspectors-to-speed-launch#axzz2Jgh5ei9w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanner83 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) I don't recall someone has probably already stated this but there appears to be a corollary between when the window sticker is produced and when the car is built. The sticker seems to be produced first about seven calendar days prior to when the build date shows in ETIS. To further this premise it appears that from the sticker date to delivery takes 27 days and the delivery from the ETIS date takes about 20 days. Ah deductive reasoning you have to love it. I wonder if I should have been a detective instead of a computer geek. Edited February 2, 2013 by tanner83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt your sales rep read the 25th bulletin (referenced in the article) to you directly? did he read the part about their intention to perform the final inspection in mexico for preorders? Also, did you read my excerpt of the bulletin in the mkz update thread which directly addresses this question ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if your rep Kevin can get in trouble for providing that info to a journalist! : ) it seems as though lincoln would try and minimize the conversation in the media about quality issues / inspections.
