We ordered the Red LX Friday 3 weeks ago. We were told then we needed to wait for "worst-case-Scenario" of July!

Unfortunately, it seems like most of the cars sold out in January/February. I've seen posts on this forum saying that the next shipment is arriving around May/June. :(
Kinda sucks to be waiting for such a hot little car. :P |

Hi, Ordered a LX in Vision back mid Feb. 1 week late the dealer phoned and said if we still want the Vision we would also have to wait June/July. No thanks
So changed the colour to Squeeze. Went to my dealer the other day and told me the car should be here early April. My dealer has 6 CL on the lot ready to go. G6ETurbochick I'll be more than happy to drive your car for you........lol. Awesome car. BB |

Was told August with no guarantee for LX & Zetec manuals last Wednesday at one dealer. Got lucky this morning as I found a 3 dr Zetec manual at another dealer where the finance fell thru a couple of days ago. So rather than wait for an eternity I snapped it up. Pickup Monday.

Yeah the wait is so painful. I nearly went to upgrade my order from the fiesta zetec moondust silver to a focus xr5 cause it was really cheap!!! But the wife said no in the end when I came clean with the engine size of 2.5 plus turbo :(
Darn, nearly got it and didn't have to wait casue they had it in stock. Now I have to wait until probably June for the Fiesta. It better be worth the wait cause I'd would have waited 4 months for it whe I was originallt told that it was going to be 4 weeks at the most. GRRR... |

FORD wonder why their cars aren;t selling ???? People will go elsewhere when they have to wait 4 months for a car. FORD should have enough stock to supply within a month. FORD GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER !!!

Agree with Candyman.
Zetec's and LX seem to be a hot seller at the momment. My local dealer has 6 on the lot and all CL. |

Yeah I'd say they will order less CL's next time and more Zetecs. It seems to be making up more than 50% of the sales (easily) and that's caught them out. Whatever the sales figures are next month I bet it SHOULD have been triple that if they had the cars

It also appears to be the sales guys selling the better option of the LX with the Safety Pack. Yep, there are STACKS of CL's out there to be had. I test drove one and was sold on the Fiesta straight away. I could have taken Squeeze home that day. But he talked me into the LX which I'm grateful of, but certainly didnt expect the wait time. Afgter looking on a few of the other dealerships websites today there are a few Zetecs for a good price...not much more in price actually to the LX.....
