FusionNewbie Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Hey all! Just bought my first new car (what an experience!). I ordered it on 12/10/12 but was recently told by the dealer that I missed the 2 week break that manufacturers go on during the holidays. Does anyone have any info on when this is over? He quoted me the standard 8-10 weeks the day I ordered which, from my research, seems to never happen so I'm guessing it'll be 10-12 weeks from whenever the break is over. I'm getting anxious so any info on it would be aweseom Anyways, here are the specs/pricing for those that are interested: 2013 Ford Fusion SE, Sterling Gray 2.0L EcoBoost Luxury Package (205A) Tech/MyFord Touch Package (14K) Reverse Sensing Moonroof All-Weather Floor Mats 18" Painted Luxury Wheels Base X-Plan price was ~$28,800...got the $1000 Ford rebate and the $750 private cash coupon...then $75 processing fee, $120 for tags, and $900 in taxes brought me right around $28,100. I just want to get my hands on this puppy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robd23 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 If you get any info pass it on. I ordered the day after you and I'm getting anxious as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robd23 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Looks like my VIN was assigned in the last couple days. I called Ford CC Tuesday and they had no info. I called Ford Marketing today and they gave me the VIN but it comes up "invalid" on the window sticker sites. I'm guessing that means its "too new" or something. Hopefully you have yours! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermans Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Your VIN won't show until it's close to your build date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robd23 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Your VIN won't show until it's close to your build date. The VIN won't show or the sticker won't show? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermans Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 The sticker won't show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FusionNewbie Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Looks like we're in the process about the same time robd! Got word from my dealer that a VIN was assigned today with a build date the week of Feb. 4th. He also told me, as hermans indicated, that a window sticker isn't produced until a few days before it's true build date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means my $750 coupon will likely expire before delivery if we're in the same boat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FusionNewbie Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 My dealer said they would honor the coupon even if it expires...I hope they're not jerking me around. I'm wondering if it would be worth signing up for some more to see if we can get one with a later expiration date just to be safe... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robd23 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yeah we're in the same boat. Just got confirmation that its for the week of the 4th and should be delivered in Feb. Dealer said we'll "deal with it when we come to it" regarding the coupon. So I guess I'm glad I requested a few more brochures a couple days ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FusionNewbie Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Did you order multiple brochures of the Fusion or did you order different cars? I ordered one of the Fusion but I'm not sure if requesting more than 1 helps...thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robd23 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I did different cars. The first time I ordered a brochure (December) I did one in my name (just a fusion), one in my wife's (a mustang & escape), and one in my son's (a focus & fusion hybrid). Of the three of us, it went to my wife on the mustang. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FusionNewbie Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Ah ok - is the coupon specific to the car or is it $750 in general? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robd23 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Ah ok - is the coupon specific to the car or is it $750 in general? General. Might exclude the FFH, though. I can't remember. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robd23 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Just a quick update. I did receive another coupon that expires in March and my build date is scheduled for 2/5. Wouldn't be surprising if you had the same day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FusionNewbie Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'll email my dealer and find out now! I also received another coupon that expires in March as well...hopefully production/transportation goes well and we get our babies by the end of Feb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I got an unsolicited coupon in the mail. The coupons are in your name in the computer and some have vehicle restrictions, others don't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logbur Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Can anyone report if they've had luck using the $750 coupon on a lease? I received the coupon yesterday and will be taking delivery of my 2013 Titanium on 2/16. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FusionNewbie Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 The coupon would appear to be work for a lease if you read the fine print...shouldn't have any issues. Found out my build date is 2/9...beat me to the punch robd! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green.cubic Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Looks like we are all in the same boat. I ordered mine on the 12th of January and was told the Build date was Feb 4. I'll check back on this thread in case anyone has any updates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FusionNewbie Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Just because I'm curious, what are the specs on your cars? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FusionNewbie Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Damn, sexy setup! Nice color choice as well. Any reason you had the rear spoiler taken off? (p.s. - how long ago was your window sticker generated?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robd23 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Thanks! I see we're in good company with the color Try as we might we weren't able to find an AWD in that color/wheel choice around. The closest one was about 250 miles away and it loaded it up with all sorts of crap we didn't think deserved $1000/feature. I've had a moonroof on 2 of my last 4 cars and barely used them. The driver assist sounded "ok" but just didn't seem worth the price. We opted to go spoiler-less for a few reasons. the spoiler is purely aesthetic a spoiler makes waxing/washing just slightly more annoying we like to be different - how many titaniums are you going to see without a spoiler? we feel it slightly classes up the back end of the car That said..its just a personal preference. I did the same thing on my 07' mustang GT. Though with this car it was kind of a toss up to do it or not. Oh, and the sticker has been available since yesterday morning - I'd expect you will be able to see yours soon. It was originally available on http://services.forddirect.fordvehicles.com/inventory/WindowSticker.pdf?vin= but has only been available on the previously posted link since this morning. No idea why.
