I ordered mid Jan, promised it by End June, then brought forward to mid April and he’s now said I’ll have it by 31st March as they want to get it in for there month end target. Said I’d rather wait till April as didn’t want to lose a months tax but he’s said it gets taxed for a year and a week! Never heard that before, can anyone confirm that. Going in this weekend to finalise the paperwork. Just a little excited now 😃. I think you are in the same boat as me mate! I ordered early/mid Jan, promised end June, told it'll be here by 31st March too. No reason given why so early but have been told it will be registered this month to meet their targets so looks like my reason is the same as yours! To be honest - I'd never heard of that before either but it is exactly what I've been told too. They said that basically, I'll be driving away with a year tax to go so no complaints from me! I'm also going in this weekend to finalise - excitement is building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeJelly Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Same here, ordered in Jan, finalised my paper work and chose my plate 2 weeks ago when it was gate released, just waiting for it to turn up! Im presuming its currently sat at Dagenham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigabit Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 So 8 weeks for you guys. Hoping my Titanium X is more along those lines although mentally I'm still at "when it arrives it arrives" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Duke Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Actually collected my ST Line X 140 today. WOW, looks awesome in Magnetic Grey which sets off the 18" rock metallic wheels. Despite the frustrating wait it was well worth it. I guarantee you will be impressed when all your cars are delivered too! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG97 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Went in today to sort our paperwork. Car in transit currently, should be with the dealer on Monday. Collecting on Friday! Struggling to believe that after initially thinking it’ll be May/June when I have the car i’ll have it before April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavroz Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I just think they give customers long delivery dates to avoid delay disappointments. If customers get their cars 6 weeks or so early, it is showing Ford in a good light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to test drive/see a race red ST line yesterday as I hadnt seen one in the flesh. Looks so nice.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffas Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Called into dealer yesterday to finalise the paperwork for my ST-Line X, signed everything but the finance paperwork, as they were desperate to get the car sold in this month. Ordered mid-jan but it's now got an ETA of the 31st march. Only problem is he said that their delivery for car for w/e the 24th hadn't arrived, anyone else heard of delays to dealer? Fingers crossed mine comes with last weeks late cars, with this week being a short one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed mine comes with last weeks late cars, with this week being a short one.That's funny, mine had ETA week ending 31st but was somehow delivered at the end of last week. The dealer said that it seems like there have been issues with the logistics in the UK recently, so I got lucky I think. Hopefully yours will come this week!Sadly I seem to have picked seemingly the only dealer in the UK who requires 5 working days for pre delivery inspection so I'm not picking mine up until next week..Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavroz Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 5 days is a long time..... Will just depend on what they have to go out etc etc i suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peat Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 5 days is a long time..... Will just depend on what they have to go out etc etc i suppose.It always takes them a whole week apparently - but mine's taking longer because of the bank holiday, even though the dealer is open.. was a bit annoyed but supposedly nothing they could do to speed it up. Oh well, at least it's coming.Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine took just over 2 weeks to get to the dealer, add on no more than a week until you collect, you’ll probably be looking at your build date + 2 and a half/ 3 weeks when you’ll be able to collect i’d say.

anyjungleinguy Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Was this the ambient lighting being mentioned for the doors? There’s blue lighting in the door pockets and footwells of my mum’s Titanium. For some reason I thought the only ambient lighting available was the cup holders.

Mavroz Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 St Line X does not have footwell lighting or door lighting. What year/model is the titanium? Mk7 st line has footwell lighting and ambient sub lighting but again no door lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
