I ordered a 2016 fiesta st (platinum white, no sunroof, grey recaro's) on Dec 19th 2015. I was told i would have the VIN in 2 weeks and the car aprox 6 - 8 weeks delivered. The salesman also mentioned that was a little longer than normal because its xmas and new years etc...which i could understand.
Its now February 13th 2016 and i had been emailing the salesman for some time with no response, so i emailed the general sales manager from his dealership, when my salesman did respond i was told the car is now expected the last week of April...
And he told me he would have the VIN soon.
My question to those who have ordered one also, is this similar to your experience? is this normal? if not is it ass of me to be thinking i should get some restitution of some sort?
I dunno, this is the first brand new car i have ever bought and i always stayed away from dealerships because i was afraid of the horror stories... someone tell me it will all be ok..lol
EDIT: i just searched the posts a bit and see that 3 months is average so this is not so normal, so what about the restitution question? should i be compensated in some way for the difference? i had arranged to sell my current car next week so its either be out the sale and go through the hassle all over again closer to April or I am out of a car now till April. let me know your thoughts on it....
