New-bie Jersey

[dc9]

Hi All - finally decided to join even tho i'm not an owner yet. I ordered a 13 scab from a South Jersey dealer on 3/8/13. Had zero communications from dealer until today, when salesman calls to give me "good news"........truck build has started and I should get it in 8 weeks !!!!!!!! If true, that would be 2 weeks shy of 6 months. Wow!! (am tempted to cancel and wait to order a 2014 from a different dealer)
Anyway, glad to be a member and sorry my first post was a complaint, but i have no truck to brag about!

Welcome. I'm from Jersey and was in your shoes too. Ordered my Raptor 1/15/2013 and did not get it until 6/13/2013!!

Can't even begin to tell you how many times I was ready to cancel or go buy another vehicle. Ended up sticking it up and am pleased to say that the wait was well worth it!

Hang in there.

Glad to hear my situation isn't unique.......altho if mine is delivered in 8 weeks it will technically be a "year old" !!! I won't mind the wait if they give me a "leftover" discount........yeah, right. Thanks.

Good thing is we are also a support group. Come in, sit down and grab some coffee. All kidding aside, welcome and sorry for the long wait, I hope it ends soon.

Believe me I had the same thoughts as I was waiting for mine. Only problem is that they won't have a problem selling the truck to someone else for full price and probably quite quickly too. So they sort of have you by the balls.

I'm done obsessing over the wait and the fact that the year is beyond half gone and the 2014's will be rolling out. I'm rolling around in a brand new custom Raptor and enjoying every bit of it. Now I'm obsessing over which mods to do.

Get the truck as soon as you can and begin to enjoy it. Life is too short. And by the time you got a 2014 the 2015's will be coming out.
