Do you think it will takes like 6 months to get the car its a 2.5L long wheelbase. Some people had some long waiting with the old model Thank you John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very helpful I checked out the 2014 TC for the first time last Saturday at a local dealer. Told the sales guy that I will need to special order one cause I want certain options. He didn't metioned anything about the order window being closed for the 2014 models. Guess I'll have to wait a bit longer now, which I'm okay with. Any idea if there will be any changes for 2015? The 2014 schedule was pretty short, almost like a 2014 1/2 year introduction to the model. I've got lots of questions and comments after seeing the TC so I'll make a few posts on that. Thanks!

Hey I like to hear about that ordering window as well I ordered mine on the 2nd of April, But before you custom order yours its recommended to check around where you live ,on the ford website I'm sure you have done this, I was looking for hours with different zip codes than I find one like 2 hours away but it had a lift gate and it was a model with options I don't want to pay for so I ended up custom ordering it. Also when you go on dealers websites you can see the one they ordered to have it in stock maybe one of those you will like and would not be wait so long. How did you like the car I'm looking forward to hear . Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you like the car I'm looking forward to hear . Thanks Johny, Glad you have a TC on order. you made it by two days. good timing! I've looked on the Ford site doing as you said but only within a 50 mile radius, which has numerous Ford dealers. Based on what I saw the dealers aren't really adding too many options for the van models. just some basic options. This kind of makes sense because most van models will be used commerically, I'm guessing, so there's no need to add extra bells and whistles that aren't required and cost more. Will make a post in the 2014 section based on what I saw. What base model did you get and what options did you add? Maybe you can post that too in the 2014 section.

I have no idea if that's a good deal. if you enjoy the van then I'd say it's a great deal. I haven't placed an order yet. I'll have to wait until next month when the order window opens.

robertlane Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 All, I do not think that there will be any real changes to the 2015 models - just a carry over year for the short 2014 builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertlane Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 To those that have ordered a T.C., please keep us up to date as to when you ordered it and when it arrives, etc. so that we can get an idea as to how long they actually take to arrive.

Thanks, they could sell it for even less even if they don't make money on the sale they get dealer cash and dealer kickback from the car manufacture to keep the dealership in business and pay the expenses, plus they get additional money after every sold car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I went to my dealer to see if there a Vin number yet but sadly nothing I have a feeling its gonna take a long time to get the car just like the first series TC , I'm hope I'm wrong. Is the order number enough to have a status check on the other thread with the ford employee? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

103west43rd Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Hello Johnyguy. Back in 2012, there is a string of emails about forum members waiting for delivery. Even after the Transit Connect being in this country for two years, the delivery time for an order was 7 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEs I guess ford continue the same habit for this 2014 model ,and the dealer don't mention any of this when you go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
