Just tried again without doing anything since last attempt (except having lunch and I can't see that having an effect) and it worked fine. 

That's one way of clearing cookies I suppose!

Hey just came across this and thought I would share my experience. So I placed an order for a new focus st in September 2021 and was told to expect the car in 6 months. Over a year later and I’m still waiting…. I was told the car was shipped months ago but the eta just moves continuously. 

That's a joke, did you go for hatch / estate, manual / auto any extras..?  I would be going into dealers and not leaving until I had answers..

Well it looks like they have increased the list prices again.  Just built my spec and its gone up another £900 (from a couple of days ago).  Making the ST with optional paint and Track Pack over 40k.. Wow..

Just did a quick spec also, and can confirm approx an extra £1k from when I ordered in Sept!

Those that ordered before the initial hike in September have gotten themselves a great deal it seems, and I wouldn't be surprised if their finance looks a little better when they finally get their car! 

Picked it up this friday and boy does it look good (even better when the sun shines)

Estate Titanium 125 mhev manual, Fantastic Red, Winterpack, Familypack, Parkingpack

Looks well nice. I do like that red!!

Picking it up on Wednesday, finally!

Wow.

Agate looks well nice on the ST. And the matrix lights look good against the black paintwork. Blacked out look.

V nice!!!

Enjoy

Thanks Mate!

Ordered late Feb 2022 in Poland. Actual build date as far as I remember was Oct 7th, final estimated delivery date around 25th of Nov (per system, was lucky here cause it moved to earlier date... for once 😉 ). 

Manual ST-x with additional winter pack, driver assistance pack, auto alarm and Agate Black colour.

Cheers!

Does not sound good for any of us that are waiting. 

Hmmm.

Wonder when the 10 days is....

Focus wait times, when it rains, it pours. 

Sigh.

Focus wait times, when it rains, it pours. 

With the plant set to close / remodelled you would think the workers would be trying to secure some kind of future..

I think the two recent updates & Christmas shutdown will slow down availability real quick. 

It would not surprise me if the focus is put out to graze sooner than 2025, maybe following soon after the Fiesta. 

Can everyone send this to their dealers..

Looks like production will be switched off for 4 days next week and 6 days in December. 

Lack of parts and staff being blamed. 

So my car should have been "production completed" as of yesterday (after being delayed from 7th of october), I rang my dealer today and the date for end of production is not written anymore. 
Still delivery date to 26th of november but chances are it will be delayed... sigh
I guess with the troubles at the factory I won't see it before 2023

Bit gutted about all this to be honest.

So close, and are we now facing more delays, or aren't we? We don't know.

Feel about attempting to get a more solid answer on whether cars are coming before Xmas or not. Then if we know at least we can just enjoy the festivities and think about it again in the new year.

How can we get more info though, any ideas. Dealers will know as much as us.

Ford customer services worth a try?

I ordered a white, Manual 155 MHEV Focus ST Line Vignale end of Jan 2022.

Latest update today is still nothing, not even a build date...☹️

They will update me again in January.

Only positive is that the order through Autoebid and supplied by Versus Vehicle Management was at £22514.

I see that the ST Line Vignale has been replaced with the ST Line X.....

When my car is eventually made, do you think it will still be the Vignale or the X?

Thanks

I guess it should be what you ordered.

Good question though ennit.

I'd be quite happy personally, cos I think the only single difference is the silver inserts on the front bumper, and as I've ordered mine black, it looks better without imo
