Default Cotus question

I got my VIN a couple of days ago, and immediatly went on Cotus to take a look.

Cotus shows my order date: 05/10 but I was at the dealer buying the truck on 05/02.

Does that mean my dealer waited one week to place the order, or it is the date Ford took the order from the system to prepare for the build?

If you got a copy of your DORA from your dealer it would have that information on it.

I ordered my truck (at the dealer place) on 04/14. So my dealer ordered my truck the day after that. So I think yours was a bit lazy...

I didn't get that 'DORA'. Dealers in Canada are secret. We can not know those information, no invoice price, nothing.
I asked him to follow up on my order, and he didn't. I asked if there was a website to follow the progression of my built, and they told me, that doesn't exit, only us receive emails once in a while.

It's by reading on this forum that I learned that Cotus existed.!!

He told me, 'see ya in 6-8 weelks' LOL

Ok, that confirms what I thought.
I called him a week later, the 10th to see if he had my VIN, he said no, and that same day, Cotus shows the order date as the 10th.
That means I lost one week...
Not a good way to start a relation!!

Huh. There is a Canadian in another thread that posted a copy of his DORA that his dealer gave him...with the invoice price on it. Sounds like you have a shady dealer.

My dealer gave me the VIN a few days after ordering along with the build date. That said, I don't know about some Cotus. Been pumping my VIN into Cotus for 4 weeks now (ordered 04/13) and it always says no match. ETIS works, and I just got access to my window sticker this week. Says blend date May 23. Coincidentally same date the dealer gave me.
