Not sure if this dealer in Melbourne is full of shit or not but they told a friend of mine that if you want a manual transmission allocation that there is a 16month wait…. All cars the dealer has ordered for themselves are Autos. 🤔🤷‍♂️

This is for US Scheduling though. I know we are also impacted but the plant will be reopen first week of august and will finish with UK / AU / EU production then move onto with US batches in September.

It would be great if the US inventory shortage as above, is due to reallocation to "Export" Production - however that is probably just delusional dreaming on my part.

Could be, or engines got damaged during shipment to FR ? So many theories.

UPDATE: I messaged an employee from FR and confirms return to work date is still August 5th.

With all the cars sitting on US lots, maybe they could just strip the engines and gearboxes out of those for us :). But Ford would prob say, nah those are LHD engines and gearboxes, like left handed scissors:cwl:.

Hey Stevie, given your location any chance you could sneak into the holding pen at Pt Kembla and grab a few shots for us (or run a drone over it).

Has anyone had any luck negotiating with their dealer for a better price and/or free extras on a GT?

I called my salesperson yesterday to get an update for the delivery date, and if they are holding all vehicles until a certain date. He got back to me today saying

"Hey Jack, ship is planned to dock on the 2nd and the eta to us is the 13th. We have received bulletin from Ford to address the rumors you mentioned yesterday.. it says that there will be no cars held to release vehicles on a common date.. they will be released to dealers as they come.

Their words are. 'To ensure delivery of these vehicles are not delayed for customers any further, we will not be batching and holding these vehicles.' "

Hopefully this is the case. Does anyone from Brisbane with a car on Aniara know what their delivery date it?
