just got back from the fiesta bowl (total b.s.)...

anyways, i called my dealer to see if my L happened to come in, and he said that all lightnings are on material hold

anyone know what parts they are out of?

 

Seems there is a lot of "holding" going on down Miami way.
I know of no holds on the L's.
Yea, cheap shot I know, but I am bored today.

Marc, you can swing by obver here and I'll give you some work to do
If you want, you can put my pulley and chip in for me too!

 

Hey Phil, no problem. Need help, call and I shall come.
How ya doin?
I just found out that Quaker City (Salem) is going to run a Weds. night street event this season, so that will more than likely draw me away from 42 on Weds. nights.
Stay in touch.
Marc

 

I received information yesterday saying my '03 was produced on 1/6/03.
Is the "hold" over ?

 

I received information yesterday that my '03 was built 1/2/03 and should be delivered 1/11/03, but my dealer told me 1/20/03. Hmmm.....

 

How do you find out when it should be delivered? I'm being told mine should be in tomorrow (1/9).

 

Marc - True, It is a cheap shot, but a good one!

 

yea it was pretty cheap, however, deep down inside you know we are the TRUE champions, however it wouldnt be fun to win it all the time i suppose..

the responses make me wonder if the salesman is ****ing me around... hurmm

 

SVTJer - What dealer did you order it from?

 

sawgrass ford

 

OK.... I have bought from them in the past. In 01 I asked if they would sell me an L on Fords's X-plan. The salesman had to check with his "manager" came back and said OK as long as it is an ordered one and not one from inventory. When the time came to place the order they backed out and would not do it. I finally got it on X-plan from Plantation Ford. They were OK to deal with but I had to watch them and correct them on bogus charges on the purchase. They made it right but in my opinion it I should not have had to check their figures. Glad I did. Have not been back to them for any service.

Vehicles I have purchased from Sawgrass in the past has been a very smooth operation as far as the sale goes. I found their service department to be terrible and would never go back there myself. I have found there sales deptartment to be very good and always did what they promised except for the on time with the L. However, all my purchases have been vehicles they have in stock. Hope they get your order in for you soon. Check their service department out very carefully and watch the work they do.

I purchased my 02 350 from World Ford in Pembroke Pines. I have found their service department to be pretty good. Be careful with the mods, this World Ford is not mod friendly. They have done some warranty work on my L and I was very pleased.

 

thanks for the heads up,

i learned the hard way how bad sawgrass fords service dept sucks

nothing like ford paying for a brand new transmission and them rebuilding mine instead

maybe its time to go shopping again

 

Yep they do suck! Because of their stupidity and greedines Ford had to buy back my 00 Mustang GT. I used the money from it to buy my L. They totally F**ked up that car. I hope Ford made them eat the cost on that one because it was completely their fault. I would never use their service deptartment again and if they don't get you your L as promised let me know so I will no longer buy new vehicles from them. I'm going to get another L but I think I will wait for the 04.

I live in south dade (redlands) and I have found the Armstrong Ford in Homestead does a pretty good job in their service deptarment also. They are not SVT cert so I have to take the L up to World Ford in Broward.
