Current delivery time frame is...
1 - 20 of 165 Posts
Although I cannot answer your question exactly, I resisted my dealers wish to sell me the 1 Fusion Sport he had received and hence placed an order with almost every option. My take on it is minimum of 8 weeks, possibly as long as 12 weeks. I am in Long Island, New York.
I went to Tower, I'm on lease extension on my current car and am eager but expecting it to take 8 to 12 from date of order.
Maybe one of the car mags will decide to publish an in depth review by then. Don't they have a 3 month lead time on articles like this though? And if true, earliest when would they have gotten hands on time?

There's something wrong here. I ordered mine 6/3. I sat with the dealer, paid a deposit, and got an order number from Ford on the spot. It was built 6/24 and delivered 8/2 after a week or two "recall" delay in Hermosillo and over a week sitting in a rail yard near Philadelphia. I got every option except parking assist and the inflatable seat belts, and it's platinum white tri-coat -- which involves the most complex process. I'm wondering when your dealer really ordered it.
Did you get a VIN from the dealer?
If not call and ask for one then you can do some checking online.

I ordered mine on monday (8/8) and the dealer told me they would send the scheduled build date in 2 weeks, give or take, and to expect delivery on or around 10/3. Most of the cars that my family buys are factory orders since we're all picky and patient, and 8 weeks seems to be the common estimate across the board, and we've never been given a reason to doubt it before, so I'm pretty confident with the 8 week standard... were on the east side of Cleveland.

8-12 weeks without an allocation. The dealer I went to had an allocation, and told me mine will be here in around 6-8, which I think it will be 8 if I am lucky, cause 6 means 3 more weeks from now, and my order is still shown as processing and hasn't even started building yet.
I ordered June 20. They are going to start building it on Monday.

I requested to order the week after my dealer had a record Labor Day weekend sales total. I was told they had allocations. Did they actually want to use an allocation on my order? I don't know. I only have the preview of order at this point. I'm supposed to take that as a confirmation of order. Only it isn't. They do some sort of a draft type thing to order stock and retail customer orders. I'm hoping my order will get picked for scheduling.
I don't trust dealers.

This as well as other ordering stories are why I went with an existing car that had a couple of options that I probably would not have ordered. I had a lease running out and didn't want to get caught without a replacement vehicle if the order got screwed up. In the end it was worth a few hundred bucks for the peace of mind.

It's going to be a company car. I can't sacrifice certain options or color. I would like to, but it's got to be white and adaptive and other options for safety. White with adaptive is rare here in California. I spent 2 weeks waiting on a dealer trade. Nobody wanted to trade away their loaded Fusion Sports.

Mine was ordered 6/14 and arrived 7/27. Order times can vary due to allocation and parts commodity availabilities at Ford such as the 2.7 engine which is also used in The Edge Sport, Lincoln MKX and F-150.
Keep in mind that the Sport is the probably the lowest volume model of the Fusion, but I consider it a special car so its worth the wait. I extended my lease till the order bank was opened for it in late May and was prepared to wait much longer than the 6 weeks mine took to come in.
BTW if anyone is looking for black. Smith Cairns Ford in Yonkers NY has one. I think it has 401a pkg, roof and nav.
