Adam Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I think, as you have alluded, the 'perceived' colour is highly variable depending on the vehicle's surroundings. In mine, the dark green leaves coupled with the asphalt surfaces common to my area (no concrete!) makes Luxe look darker whereas a dull background (dormant grass) with light concrete and a winter sunset makes the paint look much more earthy and brown. I doubt it's a variability in the actual paint mix process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogcrazy32 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Just got word my MKX is in and ready for pick-up. Heading there this evening and cannot wait! I know mine was an exceptionally fast order, but here's to hoping that those waiting on their own MKX won't have such extended times anymore. Order placed 1-18-2016 Invoice created 1-29-2016 Built 2-8-2016 Delivered 2-24-2016 Total of 5 weeks 2 days! Far better than the expected 8-12 weeks estimate we were given.

VisionPilot Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Was finally able to find and download my Window Sticker, anyone know about how long it takes from build date to dealer delivery? Timmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the sticker does it says "Convoy" or "Rail" in the "Method of Transportation" box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says Convoy.... not sure what that means, hope they aren't going to drive it all the way here and load it up with 1,200 miles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTMY911 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 It says Convoy.... not sure what that means, hope they aren't going to drive it all the way here and load it up with 1,200 miles! Yeah, they just unplug the speedo... Not. Convoy is normally by truck. Since I was less then 5 hours down the roads it was very fast, 2 days between completion and delivery at the dealer. I'm guessing a week in your case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmos36 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 From build to destination took 5 weeks by rail for my MKX last fall (2015). Allegedly, there was a rail car shortage circa that period of time. In your favor now is that MKX production is well past the early build period when vehicles with VINs simply disappeared, never to be seen or heard of again, likely withdrawn from retail sale by Lincoln due to QC issues. Those vehicles were probably donated to schools & body shops for training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Those vehicles were probably donated to schools & body shops for training.Not likely. Normal procedure is to repair, issue a special title and send to auction.Believe it's called a "buyback" title.

VisionPilot Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I am posting this for reference for others whom have placed orders for a MKX as a reference. I thought it might be a useful general post. Ford Custom Order Tracking: http://www.cotusb.ford.com/ (This site allows search by Order Number/Dealer Code/Last Name) Ford ETIS: http://www.etis.ford.com/ The above custom order tracking site has never worked for me. Is there a trick to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punch-card Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 ETIS should work for you, but I never got the COTUS site to work for me. The above custom order tracking site has never worked for me. Is there a trick to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmos36 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 The membership of the several Ford product forums will all confirm that COTUS does not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmer Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Was finally able to find and download my Window Sticker, anyone know about how long it takes from build date to dealer delivery? VisionPilot, Where exactly did you find your window sticker? My MKX Reserve AWD order was entered by the dealer on 07/14/16. On 07/19/16, the dealer was able to give me the VIN. As of today, entering the VIN on ETIS just gives me a general description of the vehicle without options (2016 MKX Reserve, AWD, Luxe, etc.) and a default build date of 30.11.0002. With all that said, the dealer's ETA to the Twin Cities, Minnesota is the first two weeks of September.. So in my case that is roughly 6-8 weeks to delivery.

Cosmos36 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Shortly after receiving my VIN, I went to www.researchmaniacs.com/VIN-Number-Lookup/WindowSticker.html. Then clicked on the Lincoln VIN lookup, and then entered my VIN in the 'Get Lincoln window sticker' box.

VisionPilot Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Just checked with the dealer, it's on a rail car! So, I'm guessing I should see it some time next week, hopefully. Timmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully but unless you live where the train stop it could be a bit more. Where ever the train will unload your car it will be convoy to your dealership.

Timmer Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Getting excited! I'm two weeks and three days from the date I placed my MKX build order with the dealer. I have the VIN, and ETIS is still showing the generic build date 30.11.0002. Entering the VIN on window sticker lookup site still shows "Check back later. The window sticker has not yet been released for this vehicle." This is like being a kid and waiting for Christmas morning to arrive...

Must be that "new" math the neighbor kids are talking about. Looked at one of the questions in their "bring homes". (We used to call the "homework", but hey, it's a new century. Anyway, Train A leaves the station at 10 am. Train B leaves it's station at 2:30 pm and there is 600 miles separating them. What is the size of the engineers shoes. (The correct answer was 11 wide. Boy did I feel dumb). Timmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the "new math" and don't understand it either. But then again, I'm smart enough to round up a 12-year old when my iPhone or an app is acting up, so it's all good...
