Does anyone know how long it takes for the vehicle to be delivered once it has a VIN attached to it??? Great News! it should be round 4 to 6 weeks but your dealer could give you an ETA with the VIN. Is it a SEL or LImited. Are you based in the US? Here in Canada, it seems we have no VIN allocation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is quite a wait...I've heard that if you get a lot of add ons it can definitely take longer for delivery Although if you are getting a fully loaded edge it will be worth the wait!!!

dcac410 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I put a order in last Friday hoping the dealer will have it in the system by this coming Monday. The dealer promised me it will be ready by May 1st. I'm crossing my fingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maritimers Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 We ordered an 2011 edge limited front wheel drive on the 01 Nov 2010. It was built on the 5th Jan and arrived at the dealer 18th Jan in the evening .Got a call the next day and parked it in my yard on the 20th.Yesterday we had another winter storm and this morning my new edge looks like an igloo LOL.I only put about 40km on it .Really impressed so far.According to syncmyride I have:sync version Gen2-V2-4 BT4T-14D546-AG BT4T-14F496-AK BT4T-14F497-AG SYNC compatible software BT4T-14F500-AE BT4T-14F603-AG I have no idea what it all means..I am not a computer geek.Can anybody tell me if it's the latest updates?I will try and post pictures when I can figure out how to do it.Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcresearch Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Ordered my 2011 Edge Limited all wheel drive on December 20 and still no word from the dealer about delivery. They say it will be about 8 weeks. Canadian purchases seem to have a longer wait in spite of the factory being near here. We have a lot of add ons - in fact (I like toys) it pretty well has everything on it. It would be nice to try it out on some snow and ice before it's all gone.

Jodes Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 So i just got a delivery date for my Edge Limited for the week of Feb 28th....I ordered on Jan3/11. I was quoted 8-12 weeks and altogether it will be about 9 weeks :hyper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmagic Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 There seems to be a number of variables that affect the time from order placement to delivery. We placed a factory order for a Ford Edge Limited back on Oct 28th with all the options except the towing package and DVD. If I recall correctly the dealer had the VIN about two weeks later. According to www.syncmyride, MFT was installed December 4 (and re-installed December 6). The vehicle was at the railyard in Calgary on Monday Dec 27 and it was prepped at at the dealership on Thursday Dec 30. We picked it up that afternoon. All in all about nine weeks from order to pickup - with the qualifier that Christmas was in the mix. Your mileage may vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to message forums at the top of the page then to the vehicle locator section. Have your VIN. If you don't have that then get your dealer ID and order number. Read some of the posts and follow the instructions to the letter. The person who helps you seems like he really cares. You will get a response overnight. Good luck.

If you add your VIN to the end of the string below and paste it into your browser you will get your window sticker if you are close enough to your production date. If not close enough you won't. http://fordlabels.webview.biz/webviewhybrid/WindowSticker.aspx?vin= there are 2 dates on the sticker, the one near the top is generally 7 days before the vehicle starts assembly. The one near the bottom is today's date. How long it takes to be completed and shipping times to your dealership can vary. I'm about a 6 hour drive from the plant and have been told by that my vehicle is scheduled to be built Feb 8 while the dealership has told me to expect delivery the week of Feb 14th. Your mileage may vary. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now understand it went to the plant on Jan 21st, so does anyone have an estimate how long it would be before it arrived here in western Canada? I just can't understand why it has taken so long. October 21st (maybe 25th before ordered) which equates to 14 weeks and "still" counting. BTW its been difficult to secure an order number or VIN as this is leased through my company, they don't seem to give out that information too freely. I do have the dealer code though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsTryaFord Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Well judging by all the comments on here my vehicle will have the longest delivery of any. Ordered on October 25th and have just received the word from the dealer it is now at the end of February! By my calculation that is 18 weeks, can anyone beat that? :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSFAngela Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) My dealer submitted my order Jan. 24. He said that I should have an ETA on delivery in 2-3 weeks from that date and then it would take 5 weeks to build. Looking at mid or late March. Ordered Limited AWD model witha few add-ons. Lets see how long this one takes. Edited February 3, 2011 by MSFAngela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatee Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Mine was ordered 12/30/10. Accepted by the factory 1/17/11, build about 1/24/11. Arrived here in Ohio 2/2/11. Dealer told me he had allottment when I ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bri23 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Mine was ordered 12/30/10. Accepted by the factory 1/17/11, build about 1/24/11. Arrived here in Ohio 2/2/11. Dealer told me he had allottment when I ordered. Sometimes the system doesn't even always make sense. I ordered mine on Dec 21. Accepted by the factory the same day as yours and build the same day as yours. Mine has not yet arrived and I live in New York only about a 5 hour drive from the Canadian plant. Anyway, point is that it's not really an exact science. Hoping the other forum can give me a ETA tomorrow as it is strange. Enjoy the vehicle. Can't wait to get mine.

MSFAngela Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Got my VIN today. Build date of 2/21. Should be here mid March :happy feet: :happy feet: Looks like a 4-8 weeks turn time in in Michigan - I guess its a good thing to live miles from World Headquaters.

computerdude60 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I too have an Edge on order and while searching I found this inoformation on a leasing company's website 2011 Ford Edge 12-14 (A) Edge Sport (K3A, K4A) may increase lead time by 4 weeks or more The site is http://www.donlen.com/production-cars-ford.aspx They are estimating 12-14 weeks but my dealer is telling me 10-12. I was wondering how good an estimate this is? Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
