shoeguy Posted April 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Congratulations Rick. Welcome to the club. I just received mine 10 days ago. Was on order since the week of Christmas. Waiting is a pain. Well worth it when you get it. You may even be optimistic on your timing depending on how long ago your car was actually serialized. Could be closer to early July. Not that I am wanting to be a wet blanket on your parade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick65inlosangeles Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 My first MKX was a 2010, I ordered it and it took seven weeks before it arrived at the dealer. The vehicle was totaled in an accident in April 2015. At that time the order bank had just opened on the ‘16’s. The dealer had no information on the ’16 other then what was on their computer screens. I order one since I was now driving my backup Lincoln, an ’86 Mark VII, I had originally purchased in July of 1986. With the ’16 the order was placed April 20th, the vehicle was built in July 23rd and I took delivery Sept 10th. I could accept the delay because the vehicle weren’t even in production until eight or nine weeks after I placed my order. So the total time was 19 weeks. Now were dealing with a vehicle that been in production for months, guess you could say it’s in its mid-year cycle. SO the ’19 was ordered March 7th, it took five weeks before the VIN was assigned. According to the production week scheduling information posted by ice-capades over on Blue Oval, vehicles scheduled for the week of April 8, the Nautilus would be scheduled for production the week of June 3rd. If I’m lucky and the vehicle is produced that week, AND if there’s an available railcar is heading west, then the car should be at the dealer by the week of June 23rd. We all know that we don’t live in a perfect world and it seems that everything is getting screwed up these days. So there a good chance that you’re right and the vehicle will be here in July. At that point it would be 16 weeks from order to delivery. ANY longer than that then I’ll just walk away as the vehicle will then be an end of year production model and will depreciate sooner. Plus the longer it takes the less my ’16 is worth as a trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoeguy Posted April 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 On the Blue oval site , go to vehicle locater by Ford employees. Start new topic to say please track my Nautilus. Plug in your VIN and ask to track your car. They will give you the build date and any updates as they become available. Every 10 days or so after your build date bump the thread to get an update.

Rick65inlosangeles Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 I have an account at Blue Oval, but unfortunately I can’t post because the rules required “You must have made fifteen good posts on this site before you can post here”. Guess I out of luck then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
