2013 Boss 302 Build Schedule ?

[VoodooBoss]

Baker, when you placed your order has no relevance as to when you'll get your VIN. If the dealer you ordered from has a 4th quarter build allocation you won't get your VIN until next Fall. Ask jmbboss for help since he works for Ford and has offered to help in another thread. You'll need your dealer and order number for him to check.

next fall?

That's just an example.

You'd think Ford would fill orders pre-orders as the came in. But I can also see dealers submitting false orders and abusing the system. I'm one of those hoping not to wait 7 months for their car.

It's based on an allocation process not when orders are received. See my previous post. I waited almost eight months for mine.

Hi Guys,

Regarding this order confusion and some of our questions including mine about acquiring more information:

My dealer has three allocated: 1 LS and 2 Bosses. My order is for the the first allocation. The second regular Boss was sold to a friend of mine this past Monday. He was told he will not get it until August.

Regarding Mr. or Mrs. BossAZ and the claim that a VIN and build date has been issued for that order; both the Ford Regional VP for Orders and Ford Customer Service informs me no VINs have been issued yet. Period. If a VIN has been issued, they would like to know that number because, in thier words, "It cannot be correct". Job 1 is now scheduled for Mid-March. Job 1 is for fleet vehicles first.

This being said, the lady at Ford Customer service barely knew what a Mustang was let alone a Boss. But i would trust the Regional VP. Interestingly enough however, their stories corroborate.

If anyone can provide definitive proof otherwise, I would enjoy being proved wrong because that would mean we all get our toys faster!

I have both a DORA and a dealer order confirmation with pricing. My vehicle is a priority 1 and is currently in material hold. In other words, i appreciate the caution some have as to the validity of some orders but I have every confidence my car is in the cue.

I wonder why with all the marketing wonderment, why the communications process for car orders is not easier to follow or keep track of for buyers.

If Ford is listening...we buyers (and some dealers) would appreciate a simpler tracking process and clearer communications around vehicle orders. Thanks!

What is a priority 1 versus a priority 10 and its affect on delivery and/or quarterly scheduling? Is "priority" a group indication or an individual vehicle indication?

Look at the "Topic: 2013 Boss 302 (non-laguna) Race Red". He has a VIN, 1ZVBP8CU8D5200759, and it has a scheduled build date of Feb 27, 2012, as of Feb 10, 2012. I just looked at the order. It has a rotation number assigned to it for the day it will be built. It's a dealer stock order with a priority code: 1.

Look at the VIN, ...00759, a low number. Lower numbers can/do get built on later dates, because the cars do not get built in consecutive order based on the VIN, but this car will be one of the first 2013 Boss's made.

Where did you go to see the order?

I just got a call from my dealer and my Grabber Blue Boss has VIN #1ZVBP8CU1D5206564
The dealer is Walnut Creek Ford in California and I think their dealer id # is 7022.
I called Ford and the VIN is in their system.

Yes, as of Feb 11th, your car is scheduled to be built on March 12th.

Walnut Creek got a very low number car last year built on day two of production. VIN numbers mean nothing but in general your car will be numbered around the 200's going by last year's production.

great to hear

Now only if you could see allocations

Hey Baker,

I don't know who you are but before you publicly accuse someone of making a false claim I very strongly suggest you get your facts straight!!!! I was unaware of the build process as of 2/9/12, so If I can research this topic in as little as a few days and post FACTUAL statements and that I currently have a SCHEDULED BUILD DATE and COMPLETE AND NOT A PARTIAL VIN that is the case. I only posted my information to help anyone on this site for reference not to get into a pissing match.

Can you get back to the "Ford Regional VP For Orders"? (I cannot believe this is a VP-level responsibility but will accept that) OR, if it was some sort of a general communication can you get a copy to us? or some other reference with date etc?

Ordered May 25, Mine was built Nov.18th and delivered on Dec.19 . 209 days to get it

 

[PTRocks]

Boss builds were manually scheduled by the zone reps last year, as I understood it.

I am in Canada and have a complete vin number and a build date of Feb 27th for a GB Boss 302. Does anyone know if that means it will be built that day or that week? How many cars will be built in that day/week? Any info is greatly appreciated.

As of 10:07 EST this morning, your car is "scheduled to day (Feb 27 2012)". Normally that means your car with be completed on the 27th. It will probably start in the bodyshop on the 23rd, and go through the paint shop on the 24th. Trim should be the 27th and then out the door. Your ETA for delivery is March 21, 2012.
