Like I said, I orderd my '05 on July 22nd, and didn't get a VIN until Oct 9th. Some people ordered in June and had a VIN in July.
What you need to ensure is that you have a DORA number, and that your dealer can fax you a Status on that DORA. Lack of a DORA means that you have no proof that your order has been submitted.
Try and get a fax of the Status Report. It shows all the cars he has on order, he should be able to fax the page with your DORA. It should have your last name next to your order. Or he can fax over the Detail Status Report which is the same information, but only one page per vehicle, in a bit more readable format.
- you won't get anything in the mail unless your dealer decides to do it for the sake of doing it. Ford doesn't send out status.... talk to your dealer, have him fax a status, or swing by and pick one up.
