Anybody Else's Order on Temporary Delay Status?
 
My order was pulled March 16, but right after that it went into "temporary delay" status in production. Does anybody have any news on this and know when I can expect to see a change in this status? Just like the rest of you who have ordered, the waiting is killing me!!!

That's for sure. A dealer here in Chicago has 4 of them one in each color.That is a lot of L's for being this early in the year. Bob.

I may have to make a trip to Houston in a couple of weeks. Any recommendations on a place to go that won't screw me around by trying to sell to me above sticker? Or better yet, any dealer that'll go X-plan??

When I talked to SVT yesterday, they said that they werre pulling a lightning every so often to check fit and finish and it resulted in a week or so delay...

Maybe that's the case?

I was told last week that mine was on "total performance package hold". Just talked to the dealer and I got my build date 4/16/01.
so hopfully I will see it in about a month.
This waiting is killing me, But I know from listening to all you guys and gals it will be worth the wait.

I know the fleet manager at one of the lots down here - he will give you the best price, no screwing around. Would you like for me to check with him to see if he has any? Are you still looking for black?

what dealers in Houston have a silver one sitting around? I'm expecting one the middle of Apr. and I ordered it in Sept.

I wish my truck was new again. They grow up so fast.

Mark John -

I know for sure Central Ford does, but absolutely DO NOT go there - they want $42460 for theirs! I think Mak Haik does as well, supposedly a couple people have bailed on their orders...

Ordered in Sept. and delivery in April? What the hell is that all about? That is total BS...I would run not walk to the next dealer..

Madhouse,
I'm still going for black. LEt me know what's on the lot and what they want for it and I'll figure out a way to run down and check it out.

Thanks.

Texan Ford doesn't have anymore. I think someone mentioned that Tommy Vaughn Ford had a few.

Not much luck finding one, sorry

Once again I'm probably not being much help but I do know that almost of all of my local dealers here in cinci would consider x-plan pricing. I ordered my 01 on 3/20 for x-plan plus tax and title/tags. The difference between msrp and xplan might be worth a road trip...
