Andyr55 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 any idea if there is a way to track a brand-new car (Ford Focus). I would just be interested to follow the progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 No. I'm waiting for mine too. Not sure if you're aware but the Focus factory (Saarlouis plant) is closed currently due to a microchip shortage. It won't reopen until Feb 19th. I can't see any new Focus's reaching the UK before mid March now myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dealer haven't updated me either. Last date I was given was end of Feb but I know that's not going to happen now.

Andyr55 Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 I’m sure when I purchased my present car I was able to track it from factory to Uk, can’t for the life of me remember how, 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a US tracker, but it doesn't seem to work for UK cars. My guess is either something to do with data protection, or maybe they think there'll be an Italian Job style heist if people know when the cars are being transported...

Comares2001 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 When I've bought new, dealer has always known when lts left the factory though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the only way you can track it is by pestering your salesman lol. Not that there's any point even asking currently with the factory being closed. I'd wait until at least the 20th of Feb when the factory reopens myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyr55 Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Yes I was planning on waiting until Saarlouis opens. Hopefully they will get existing orders out the door sharpish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyr55 Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 I appreciate that Saarlouis does not open until 19/2 but anyone had any indications from dealer when new cars will start arriving in UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Still heard nothing from my dealer. Has yours even acknowledged the factory closure yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyr55 Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 seemed to think there might be a parts shortage 😅 other than that no clue... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
