fuzzymoomoo Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 They are back to work this week. My friend and best contact isn't there this week as his wife just had a baby. I think they are but I'm not 100% sure what the build mix is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or post or PM me your order number, dealer code, and color and series and I can track it for you.I have tracked it on the tracking section of this forum once already and it has not been scheduled. I didnt know if you were notified in another way or not. I got an email from my sales rep that mentioned getting something in the snail mail so I wondered if that may contain info like VIN.

hjr007 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 boredinbirmingham I received a 10 digit vin (although it is 17) Which shows that the order has gone thru(in the production pipeline). Once it is scheduled for production(I checked with the dealer each week)The dealer gave me the 17 digit VIN. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see on the Continental that production started 9-18 and you got your build date a little over a month so hopefully the Navigators will start building customer orders soon as their production started 9-25. I feel like a kid waiting on Santa clause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjr007 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 If you have the dealer info and order there is a spot on this site where you can get an update. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck I have already gotten a tracking update but since the Ok to buy has not been given at the factory customer orders are only showing that there is an order, no other info. Thanks!

hjr007 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Professor1234 Met the gentleman that has the 2017 lincoln contental todayat Walmart. Loves his car , has only owned lincolns and was very happy when the continental came back so much that he trade his 2016 mks for the continental. It was a factory order, reserve, 3.0 no moon roof (he says he misses it). He ordered it in Sept and did not get it until late December. He wants to see my new one when it arrives. (it is built just waiting for paperwork and to be shipped from USA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor1234 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Pretty cool. I've never had the nerve to approach a fellow Lincoln owner - the age delta would probably be a quarter of a century! I didn't think his was a 3.0T but now that I think of it, it has the right wheels. I much prefer the ones that are identical (except 20 instead of 21") in design to the ones on my MKX. It is hard to wait for a factory order. I've had experiences all over the spectrum. My current X had its first birthday on the 21st (though just rolled up 4,100 km) - was ordered on August 2 and I picked it up on November 3. It took much longer than I was expecting! Hopefully the shipping process is quick for you.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
