timing on a window sticker

20723 Views 46 Replies 17 Participants Last post by  Hecktone
So my Van is supposed to be built on the 15th and delivered on the 29th. When Should I be able to see the window sticker? Keep checking a few different sites and nothing yet. Sure would think if its less than 2 weeks I should be seeing a window sticker? Anyone?

Curious on this as well. By the way willy, just checked with the fleet mgr and my van is still scheduled to be built same day as yours, 12/15. Mine is a T250 HR, EXT, 3.5 with glass all around. What's your configuration?

Jp, you can not produce a sticker either? Mine is a 350 dual extended high roof, no windows in the back, just about every option they let me have ;)
can't get one on mine either. Dealer says he is expecting it 12/20 Build date is 11/30 it says.
No, no sticker. It seems some are getting them up to a week or two before production and others don't get one until it's already built.

Willy, it's interesting that ours are both extended high roof models. It makes sense that they build the same body style in batches I guess. I've got almost every option as well, except for MFT, remote start, and reverse sensing. I have no delivery estimate. I'm in Oregon, so that could take a month, who knows.

The window sticker is produced when the dealer is billed on the van. It is usually 7 to 10 days before the van goes to production. If your van is supposed to be built on Dec 15th, you should be able to see a window sticker around Dec 5th to Dec 9th.

I would start on the 5th and check it every day up until the 10th. You should see one if it is actually going to be built on the 15th.

Hmmm, then maybe my build date is not what I thought, this is what it says; 30.11.0002

Anyone know what that means? I assumed Nov 30 ??

Thanks
star gazer. That is just the default setting. Your build date will appear when it`s built.
willy1959 & JP4 let us know when you`re able to access your window sticker. I too have a build date this month (12-22), I`m curious to see when your WS shows up compared to your build date.
How are others getting build dates that are still weeks out?
The Transits being built this week have VIN's in the FKA32xxx to FKA334xx. If you have a VIN in this group, you should be able to print a window sticker. If the production line is still moving at the 1500 to 1800 Transits per week, you can calculate the approximate time your van will go to production by your VIN.

I have one of my friends who has ordered his van from Jacky Jones Ford in GA and he was told his van would be built around the 3rd week of December. His VIN ends in FKA40238.
Any exceptions to your window sticker not coming up would be any option on the late availability or your order being in a change mode.

We may want to setup a topic VINs and Build date so anyone who can print their window sticker can let us know their VIN and build date. This would give us a idea of how the production line is working for a particular week(s) and help future owners get a estimated time for their Transit to be built based on this history.

Only go to this topic when you CAN see and print your window sticker!

My dealer was able to give me a predicted build week shortly after the order was submitted. It slipped by two weeks as it got closer to the original build date. The met the slipped schedule. Sticker did not show up until a week or so before actual build date.
crewvanman do you why my Etis build date would show up but my full options list is not yet updated or showing?

Interesting. As of last week my fleet mgr told me a build date of 12/15, yet my VIN is FKA50032. At the rate of 1500 -1800 a week, that's still 10-12 weeks out.
My Vin is FKA43061 and dealer shows a delivery date to him of 12/20. I am certainly not holding my breath on that.
my vin is 43024. with the other math it seems like 2nd week or so of Jan. I know a lot of you have waited longer. But they just dont understand how totally impatient I am! LOL

As CrewVanMan suggested, please wait until you can see your window sticker before posting on the new thread. Before then, there is always the general Tracking Build Dates thread, as well as here and other specific threads:

PS because I had to remind myself also:

CrewVanMan's 12/3 post:
