Thanks for posting this info. I noticed the revision of the 2018 MY Order Bank Order Date to 6-19. Could you explain what this means...Does it mean the date dealers can submit customer orders?

 

That's the date the dealers can submit orders. Period. No difference in a stock order or customer special order other than the priority.

Question....if the order date for 2018 MKZ was Monday (6-19)....I assume the dealer must have the Order Guide? I tried looking online for the order guide before bothering the dealer.....any sites that might have it?

The 2018 Lincoln MKZ Order Guide has not yet been released. It's usually available on or about the date that the USOB (Unscheduled Order Bank) is scheduled to open but there are sometimes delays for unknown reasons. I'll keep checking and will upload the order guide as soon as it's available.

Thanks...I did find the 2018 Fleet Guide and it did show the CD player as carryover...which I wanted. I'll watch for your order guide. Much appreciated.

I'm always amazed but not really surprised, only because we've seen so many examples here at BOF over the years, as to how many dealers are so bad at knowing even the basics about order bank management, order submission, vehicle tracking, etc. Worse yet is that it reflects on all the other dealers that actually do know and do a pretty good job.

 

My best recommendation in these cases is for the customer to find out who at the dealership manages the order bank and deal directly with that person.

duhhhh, we all know production hasn't started. But production has always been scheduled well in advance and vin numbers are issued to the dealer. That way you know when your vehicle is supposed to be built. Previous [purchases have worked that way and the same dealer has been able to give the info much earlier.

Your VIN wont be assigned until the vehicle is scheduled to be built. Since it's a special order and not dealer stock it won't be scheduled until the ok to buy is given, which happens after 5 consecutive days of builds without major build errors. Since it's a mostly carry over model it's safe to say that should happen pretty quickly, probably within a week or 2 of production beginning

 

 

Your dealer should also know that ;)

When I clicked on the Lincoln MKZ order guide link, it took me to amazon...
