Tucka92 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Hi guys, im new to the owners club as I'm technically not an owner yet. Not until she arrives :) I ordered myself a new fiesta st 3 weeks ago today (ridiculously excited) and was really hoping to receive it the 1st of March. However after speaking to my dealer they're stating it's still in Cologne and hasn't passed something called a gate review (or something like that), they said this means it's still in production and they cannot give me any details as to when it will arrive. Does anyone have even an estimate as to when it will come as the uncertainty is killing me if I even had a date it may calm my childlike excitement. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 The dealers computer system vista should be able to give you a build date, gate release is when it comes out of the factory, from that point it could be 2-4 weeks till you drive it away. if your order was one that was already in the system it would be shorter but dealers should say it can take 12-14 weeks from time of order. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucka92 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Ok thanks at least that gives me a pretty much worst case scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philf1 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Mine took 4 months from order to pick up but that was 2 years ago. My RS order to delivery was 9 months but luckily I got a cancellation so now only 4 again.

Tucka92 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Ouch 4 months I'm really hoping mine was already on order and I've just picked up some of the stock. I can only assume it was as the sales rep didn't elude to me that it would take anywhere near that long to come. Good luck with your rs though will be sweet I'd love one however as I'm only 23 the insurance company would laugh at me 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philf1 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The ST is a great car I'm sure you'll enjoy it. The RS is something to look at in a few years something to aim for See my parts for sale on thread "philf1s Spirit Blue Fiesta ST180 parts for sale" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 My ST was already reserved before I even bought it :P I had 4 days to wait from ordering, my dealer had a delivery of 7 of them in on the same day :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
