Either way I'm expecting a call when it's delivered and will be collecting it the next day. Fingers crossed for this weekend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulworthing Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Well hope the weather is nice for you so you can get out and take some pictures of it Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrix Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Really feeling for you guys, these waiting times are incredible. Some of this is due to ford cutting the work force because of the slow down in the car market. Plus by making people wait it gives the impression of exclusivity which makes people want them even more. Yes its the classic buisness tatic, think of the latest craze around christmas with poeple paying twice the price for a toy their kids can't live without. In the short term its good for you guys because prices will remain firm ,if you trade in within 18 mnths after that prices will tumble due to the amount of cars that will flood the market. Fiestas will always make money their a proven 20 yr design ( much changed from original) ford trade on the fiesta name. Its such a shame they have to use us to make thir profits instead of letting good old quality and service count for somthing. Good luck with your orders hope nobody gets to the sept plate change and ends up with an old reg new car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulworthing Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Well looking at the stats it would appear that the following is happening of those cars that people have recorded on hereDelivered within 6 weeks - 22.2% Delivered within 8 weeks - 51.8% Delivered within 10 weeks - 74% Delivered within 12 weeks - 81.5% So is this still the case or are people now experiencing longer delays and this is more a reflection of what the situation was later leat year or ealier this year? Just checked again and with 28 votes now in Delivered within 6 weeks - 23.3% Delivered within 8 weeks - 53.3% Delivered within 10 weeks - 76.6% Delivered within 12 weeks - 83.3% So things seem to be getting better - albeit only slighly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenW Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 So, the wait times aren't as bad as some would have us believe. what do you mean by "some". I am not trying to make people believe anything. I am sharing my experience and wait time as are others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulworthing Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 So, the wait times aren't as bad as some would have us believe. Well those percentages are only from the 28 votes that people have recorded on here so those of you with hellishly long waits (JAR, BenW, et al) who have yet to fill in your details are going to sway the overall percentages again - tbh as they have both been waiting in excess of 14 weeks I guess they could vote already . . .

paulworthing Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Makes me realise mine can't be too far behind as ordered it on the 1 June (about a week later) so here's hoping that it'll be at the dealership sooner rather than later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
