Hi everyone.
First of all, thank you for the forum and the great information that all the participants share within it. It's a great place to learn from others.
I've been working with a local dealer to order a 2011 Ford Edge Sport. The dealer claims that they ordered the vehicle in early October, 2010. They told me it would be 8-10 weeks before it arrived. The next update from them was that it would arrive on December 21st. Then they told me it would arrive on December 27th. As of today, January 6th, 2011, and the dealer tells me that it's in transit from the factory to their dealership but they don't have a definite date of arrival. They told me it might arrive in a day or sometime during the next 2 weeks. I can't help but to feel that I'm being given misinformation along the way because the story has changed so many times.
I've noticed from watching the Ford.com site that the Edge and MKX vehicles typically show up on the dealer inventory list (online) several days prior to them arriving at the dealer. As I've watched the online (ford.com) inventory for my local dealer, my Edge Sport hasn't been displayed there yet. This leads me to believe that it's still at least over a week away from arriving but maybe longer.
Does anyone have information about how I could track this vehicle more closely on my own? The dealer provided me with a VIN weeks ago. I can only hope it's accurate for my vehicle. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all very much.
