dealer ordered s13


Recommended Posts

   

Why did they only ship 1- 2014 titanium to each dealer every one that is on order is in Jacksonville Florida on dock. Dealers do not have any ideal when they will get them.

Don't know, but the 2015s start production on 9-02- 2014:

did you order one

i did go with the 2.5 l engine as i was afraid the 1.6L ecoboost may wont be reliable and dont have much more MPG anyway for $900 ,

so i ordered a silver long version, heated mirrors, second row windows, rear defroster, windshield quickdefroster, cloth seats,

Still, it is amazing what Ford has been able to do with the eco-boost fours. The 2.0L in the Focus develops about 250 HP while in the new Mustang the 2,3L is rumored to be over 300HP. I don't want one either, but I'm impressed by those numbers.

That 2.3L Mustang is gonna seriously ROCK! I hope that they call it the Mustang SVO as they did in the mid-1980s!

Only thing is Robert, Ford is allowing the Mustang to grow heavy and bloated, just as they did in the seventies and (with the T-bird) in the sixties.

The 2015 will weight less than the 2005-2014s. I think that it will actually weigh less than the 1994-2004s too, this despite all of the mandated features the Feds are making auto makers add on.

Ordered a 2014 Titanium Transit Connect on April 9, 2014 from local dealer, put down a deposit. Was told it would probably be here in 8-10 weeks. They said they would keep me informed. After six weeks and seeing talk on internet about 2014 stopped production and 2015 having started and not a word from them, I stopped in and talked with sales manager on May 22. Was told he would call me within an hour with update as personnel were at lunch. Two to three hours later he called and said what I'd heard about production was true and that my ordered color, Burnished Glow, was not available on 2015's. I gave him an alternate color and he said he'd order it. I asked how long until it gets here and he said as they are built overseas he thought it would be at least 8-10 weeks. I wonder what they did with my order during the first six weeks until I checked with them? I guess you have to keep hounding them after an order to make sure they are following through.

Oregon Don,

Sorry to hear you got vanboozled.

Looks like you'll now be calling them once a week for a status. I would.

I wonder if the dealer even has any 2015 pricing or information. I'd follow up on that part.

Did you add any options on your Titanium version?

Good luck!

Dealer had no info on 2015's. Other than the color delete and new color name. The new color I chose (after looking on the Mustang site) is Magnetic. Options: Tow Package, Roof Rails, Daytime Running Lamps, Cargo Net-Vertical.

sounds a little scary ordering a 2015 without any specific info.

I like that new color you picked. kind of a medium gray. should look sharp.

nice options too.

now the hard part, waiting.

After showing salesmen info I found here and on the web, they said I wouldn't get my ordered 2015 Transit Connect until next February. I found a 2014 on the web at another dealers lot. My local dealer purchased it after I thought we had an agreement on price. It came in today and I went to pick it up. Surprise, they wanted nearly a thousand dollars more than I thought was the agreed on price. Told them to keep it and got my deposit back. Be careful when negotiating.

You should report them to ford if that would do anything
