gyveri Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Hi, I ordered my Ruby Red C-Max hybrid SEL 303A package on 3/13. A couple of weeks ago the dealer called me to give me my VIN and say that my car had been built and would be delivered on 4/15 --- hooray! Last week, the dealer called to tell me that delivery was delayed till 5/3. So now I'm waiting patiently, reading the user's manual, watching the videos, cruising the forums. --gyveri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gyveri Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Thanks, Nick, for your words of welcome. Maybe you or other forum members can shed light on whether I should be concerned that the car was built on 4/3 but is not scheduled to arrive in California until 30 days later (and 18 days after its originally-scheduled arrival date). What have they been doing with the car while it's been waiting for its train out west? --Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a batch-and-hold on a certain group of vehicles to check something that might be wrong, could have been one individual thing on yours that got flagged for QC. Or occasionally when there is a parts shortage they will finish the vehicle and then sit it aside to finish later. Not sure if that last one would still get it marked as "built" though. Any number of reasons really. Hopefully it's nothing to be concerned about and you'll get it soon. Being off by a few weeks on delivery isn't all that uncommon for any manufacturer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyveri Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Thanks, Nick. Seems that there could be many reasons for the delay. I guess we'll never know which one. I'll let you know when the car actually shows up. --Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyveri Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 My C-Max arrived at the rail head at Benicia, CA Saturday afternoon. Still no word as to when someone is going to put it on a truck to ship it to the dealer. It's now over 4 weeks since my car was built. I guess they don't really need my money. --Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gyveri Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 One week after our Ruby Red C-Max SEL arrived at the Benicia, CA railhead (and 31 days after the build date on the sticker), the dealer called to say that our car had been delivered to them. Hooray!!! We picked it up that afternoon and are greatly enjoying driving around in it. Here is a picture of it sitting in our driveway not far from the Monterey Bay in CA. --Ian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68fordman Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 That's pretty sharp in ruby red. Glad to see that you finally get to enjoy it. We are in the middle of the waiting period now too. Or maybe the beginning, lol. Either way, congrats on the new C-Max Ian! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
