Yes. He got ripped on dealer delivery. Drive-away RRP with forged wheels should have been around $58900. Dealer delivery on mine was $2490

Apparently no customer cars will be released until 22/6 which is some fancy launch date. There are some very peeved soon to be owners (me included) at this decision by Ford AU.

I love how everyone thinks it's Ford Australias decision.
I think it's been really hard for anyone to get the latest update Focus. I was getting annoyed at waiting for our Focus Sport earlier this year and that was before they started having supply issues.

It actually makes it better for me, I didn't like the fact the car would be here for 3 weeks before we got back from Sardinia!

I know of at least two RS customer cars that arrived with the Ford demo/press cars on 18/5. They have been advised by Ford direct that they wont be released until 22/6. My car arrives 4/6 and my dealer would love to release to me 7-10 days after arrival as it means they get paid.
