My understanding is that the last 6 digits denote your vehicle number. They’re assigned sequentially up to A99999 then reset to B00001, or something along those lines. I think that yours is approximately the 106,900th Maverick to be assigned a VIN.
I see them pushing it back too. I have not seen one time that Ford actually started building on the week that they originally give you. I was pushed back to Oct 7th from an original date of Sept 26th. If somehow Ford screws this up I will not be getting a Mav, by the time I find out will be to late to order a 23.
FYI. Sometimes to help insure that you are actually seeing a websites current page you have to clear your history and/or your cache. Browsers will save pages on your computer and what might happen if servers are busy in order to speed things up the browser will show you the page you looked at earlier instead of fetching a new copy. I have my browser to automatically clear my cache when I reboot my phone or computer which I try to do at least once a week.
As mentioned already, there have been several dealers and sources saying that if you have a VIN they HAVE to build it THIS year. Mine has been pushed back several times already so I wouldn't be surprised if mine is built at the end of November and delivered in January...
If they gave you a special offer and haven't been scheduled yet, there's a 99.9% chance you aren't getting a 22. Put an a 23 order tomorrow if you want one since the order banks are closing. If by chance you get scheduled, you can always cancel the 23.
I am not savvy with the sequence process for VINs.
Hi Phil, as I understand it the first 100,000 vehicles started with AXXXXX, and the second 100,000 is B series. So an early vin might be A10456 which is # 10,456. Yours being a B series indicates vehicle # 100,040.
Thanks for the info. I had the plant build indicator one digit to the right of where it belongs. So, I guess I am into the second 100,000 as you noted. Hope I still get the '22 built - still got of constrained items on it.
They don't collect all the parts and store them for each build. parts are arriving Daily-sometimes multiple times per day. A lot of things are expected to fall into place on schedule as vehicles are scheduled to roll down the line in production. If 1 or more vendors miss promised delivery date, they have to completely re-shuffle what can be built on a given scheduled run. Look up JIT (just in time) and Lean Manufacturing. Vendor parts delays are why we keep getting pushed back.
I agree with skadizzle, you have got to order tomorrow. You can't wait to see what happens. I f you really want a Mav you must get that order done tomorrow. Earlier the better. You can always cacel it if you get a 22.
Ya that sounds like good advice, I asked the dealer if Ford would leave me high and dry if they didn't build the 22, They assured me Ford would roll me into a 23 but I'm not taking that to the bank.
I‘m scheduled 10/31 week too. B096xx
