Well that is one chapter in my Fiesta ST experience over, and now a new one begins.
The car shipped the 25th of August and was scheduled to be delivered the 5th-11th of September. It arrived at 10pm on the 14th, a full week and half after the cars that shipped out on the same day had arrived at our dealership. It was on four different spare tires from four different cars, with mismatched lugnuts and some studs missing lugnuts entirely. The spare tire and tools were missing. The rear bumper didn't align with the fender arches. And finally there was a deep scratch down to bare metal on the rear passenger door. Thieves had hit the rail car while it was being transported. I looked the car over and rejected it, cancelling my purchase.
Immediately I went in and ordered the same car again. Our manager got in touch with the Ford Rep for our dealer and we will see if she can help us out getting my new order expedited. Not looking forward to waiting many months again, but I'm a stickler for perfection and there is just no way that I could accept a brand new car that was undriveable, missing parts, and needed a whole panel repainted before it even arrived.
The heartbreaking part is that even in its sad state that it arrived in, it was absolutely gorgeous in the morning sunlight.... That Molten Orange really is something else. Stunning looking car.
