d_source Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Hi all, Was looking at a used Edge for a while, then accidentally stepped into a 2011 and there was no going back. Plus all the incentives and rebates just made the deal a must. We purchased about 2-3 weeks ago with an expected delivery of 6-8 weeks. I now have the VIN number. Just wondering if there is anywhere beyond the dealer to get a more up to date delivery date? How long are people waiting for their Edge's to arrive. I'm in Vaughan, ON about 40kms from the Oakville plant where they are being assembled. BTW - Anyone lucky enough to go to the plant to see theirs being assembled?

D Hi D; congratulations on your new purchase. Which model did you end up with? The 2011's are hard to resist! lol I live near the Oakville plant but it didn't speed up delivery. Mind you I bought mine in June. The dealer had the VIN number which he said basically meant the car should ship within a week of that (don't know if that's true). He got the VIN number about 2 weeks before they received it and he did mention they were slow but that could have changed by now. They received mine on the Labour Day weekend and the sales guy didn't even know it was on the lot!! Post a pic when you get it and enjoy...you are going to love it!

I wish it would be ready in a week. Realistically i think I am looking more at end of Oct - beg of Nov. Any earlier is welcome. i actually ordered it from a dealer out of town (windsor) b/c the salesman gave me a far better deal than anyone else. Over $1000 cheaper than the next closest dealer. It was a no brainer. We purchased the 2011 SEL AWD Driver's entry package Canadian Comfort package (as I am all about the Vista roof) Sync White tri-coat exterior Black leather interior (mainly so my 9 month old and baby on the way dont ruin the seats. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_source Posted October 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Called Ford today to get an ETA on the delivery of my EDGE. She told me that it takes 8 weeks from when they get the order, whcih they received on Oct 4th. So instead of end of OCT beginning of Nov, now it looks like end of DEC for delivery. Is that correct? She said the dealer should have told me 8-12 weeks, not 6-8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was ordered on Sept 7, made on the 27th, on the train on the 28th and I am waiting for it to show up, was told Oct. 10. I may have just been lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have just been lucky mine was ordered on Aug 25th scheduled to be built the week of 10/11/2010, I don't think I will see it until very close to the 8 weeks I was told 6-8 weeks when i placed my order.

I'm in the same boat! Really excited about my 2011 Edge, dealer says it will show up within the week, I hope he's right! I wish there were a way to check the VIN and see when it shipped out.

My Edge is coming quicker than I initially expected and hopefully the same will happen for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkmar Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Darkmar: When did you order your Edge? The VIN isn't showing in vehicle visibility yet... I ordered it from the dealer on 30th of September. However, this car was already made and ready to be shipped from a factory to a dealer in West Coast. At least this was based on the record what a dealer showed me at the time of the placing the order. I was also able to register with this VIN number on syncmyride.com. It identified properly my vehicle as Ford Edge Sport - white platinum. Thank you for checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a fellow soon-to-be White Platinum Edge Sport owner as well! Can't wait! No worries, I will call my dealer and find out the current status directly from him. I hope indeed White Platinum Edge Sport will be worth waiting...I had a hard time to choose between white and red candy color. The dealer had the red one on his parking lot, but a car was already sold. I decided to go for a white as otherwise I would have to place the factory order and wait at least 2 months. I don't think I would handle that... Update: EST October 18th Edited October 7, 2010 by darkmar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_source Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Good news. my dealer confirmed yesterday that my Edge is sitting on the lot awaiting pickup. It's out of town so I cant get there until Sat Oct 30th, but at least i know i'll have it in 10 days, not in Dec. which is what Ford told me. Yippie! What do I need to make sure of when I go pick up the car? i.e. Fluids topped up. What's the break in period for these cars and what does it entail? I need to drive it about 400kms just after i pick it up to come home. How fast can i drive it on the highway? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
