8-12 weeks is what I was also told. Salesman advised order was sent in Dec. 20th. He said that they placed their first dealer order on Nov. 17th and it was Dec. 2nd when the order hit the production line. I believe he is expecting arrival next week. He is going to call me so that I can actually see a real one. I only got about $2100 off the MSRP but I noticed that they did not put the $1400 freight fee on the contract. That would bring the savings to $3500. My options totaled $6050. Not sure what you meant about the etching fee. Nothing was mentioned about that.Did any of you fellow Canadian's pay less then MSRP? I paid about 5k less then the MSRP and that included the paper work and etching charge which they charged 880 for. So when I say 5k I added that 880 onto the actual MSRP price. Only thing that sucks is I have to wait 8 - 12 weeks for it to get here=/
You would think that this would be done as the vehicle is being built since some of these etchings would be in very hard to reach places. That being the case, one would think that the cost would be built into the final price and not an add-on. As I said, this wasn't even discussed when I placed my order. I seem to recall watching a program on TV that covered this procedure.They tried to tell me the etching was a mandatory thing but I looked into it and he did not know what he was talking about as it was not. It supossedly means that a lot of the parts are etched with the Vin such as body pannels and the windshield to help deter theft or help in the recovery of a vehicle. It probably is a waste of money but I was happy with my final price so I did nto complain.
There is a $30 Enviromental fee applicable in Ontario only, a registration fee of $40.68, a $100 Air conditioning fee and a $5.00 for ETCH. There is also a $329 charge next to ROAD HAZ. /DOC. Not sure what that is exactly. There are no freight or delivery fees shown. Since I am leasing, I put down $6250 as a refundable security deposit to reduce the interest rate by 1.5%. I get that back at the end of the lease. Did the same with my Highlanders. The salesman wasn't aware that this existed until I persued it with Ford Canada.How much did they charge you for your paper work and other fee's they always add on in the end? I am at work so I cannot check mine but I think it is written on the contract.
