milleron Report post Posted March 18, 2013 I got an email from my salesman on Friday letting me know that all 3 of the customer-specced Hybrid Titaniums ordered by this dealership are "scheduled" to be built the week of March 25th.. He says that these cars are prioritized to go into production before dealer-ordered Hybrid Titaniums.Does anyone know if that's factual? If so, there would be no models for the dealership to demo until all customer orders are filled -- just seems too good (for me, at least) to be true.

acdii Report post Posted March 18, 2013 Thats what my dealer said too. The ones hitting lots now are customer ordered, and usually sold before they arrive, but a few that are available are those that were ordered, but the customer canceled or couldn't wait for it and got something else, but the build wa never canceled.

cwb1183 Report post Posted March 18, 2013 Dealer stock energis have been being built since February , Many of them have arrived in dealerships especially on the west coast and larger eastern cities.

milleron Report post Posted March 18, 2013 Just went to the Columbus (Ohio) Auto Show yesterday, and they did NOT have a Fusion Energi on display other than the "prototype" model that was on a raised platform with the velvet ropes around it and locked doors. Look, don't touch. (I could tell that it had the Titanium trim with the Sony sound system, though.)You'd think that if they've been manufacturing them for over a month they could find one to actually display at a large auto show. Go figure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, there would be no models for the dealership to demo until all customer orders are filled -- just seems too good (for me, at least) to be true.Here is a VIN for a car on a dealers lot that was special ordered, yet is being sold by the dealer. Could be one of those that the buyer found something else instead. 3FA6P0LU5DR144532 It is nearly identical to mine, but with remote start. It was built 10-18-12, so either has been sitting TBD or on the lot for a while. I would be leery of buying that one only due to the time it was built.

jeff_h Report post Posted March 19, 2013 How do u see who the special order was for? I don't see any names on the sticker. On some stickers (like this one) the bottom line on the left side under "Optional Equipment" has it listed, on others it doesn't. If you bring up the PDF you should see it, at least it shows on my PDF viewing within Firefox. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shaggy314 Report post Posted March 19, 2013 What website do i go to to check my build date since I have my vin number You can goto to the European etis site to check dates. Since Europe doesn't have Fusions, it thinks it is a different car, but the other info seems correct. You should be able to get the same form Ford on twitter, their consumer phone line, and Facebook. http://www.etis.ford.com/vehicleRegSelector.do;jsessionid=70F5C933C1B40C9278438F500857B3E5.eccvas509 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fastronaut Report post Posted March 21, 2013 You just need to call Ford Customer Care and ask for a brochure on the Fusion. Be sure to say you are purchasing , not leasing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveo358 Report post Posted March 21, 2013 I told them that I have never owned a ford, and was considering a fusion, after all the good things I had heard about them. I got one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acdii Report post Posted March 22, 2013 Crud, Reviewed the VOC and discovered it wasnt ordered with the NAV, and adding nav jacks it up 12 a month. Something is keeping me from getting the exact one I want. Trying to figure out what I can cut to put aside over the next 2 months to make up the difference.

Toz Report post Posted March 22, 2013 I really wonder if the Ruby Reds will really start building April 1st. I still don't have a VIN or build date.The 14's are looking like a better and better deal all the time. The Real deciding factor will be after the 15th of April. That is when the 14's are suppose open up for ordering. So I should be able to see if there are any changes on the 14's to make it worth while to to wait until they come out, or to continue to wait for the 13 so I can have it this summer (maybe). I find it hard to believe that there will be very many changes between the 13's and 14. So the only real reason to wait for the 14's will resale value.
