Factory Order Bank means that the Order is generally changeable; in Production Stock it's locked in.

Default Thanks, but not really what I was asking...

My status was changed from IS Order Bank to Factory Order Bank in July...next status is Production Stock. What is the typical time between FOB and PS?

Thanks again.

Default there is no way to tell the wait time between FOB and PS..

but once in production stock it will take about a month to build and about 3 weeks while its shipped here and on port and then taken to your dealer and inspected approximately and then you can go pick it up...

Default Once you're in Factory Order Bank, your dealer should be able to give you a build week..

from the system! That week, it will go into Production Stock! A couple of weeks later, it will be done with Factory Inspection and status will change to "Intransit from Factory". Your dealer will be able to see (and tell you) all these dates once the status changes to "Factory Order Bank".

Default Dealer is telling me they still do not have a build week -

I went into Factory Order Bank in July and have no idea when I'll be in Production Stock. Sounds like what you are saying is that is should only be in FOB for a week before going into PS...not in my case.

Default Seems odd to stay in there a couple of months...

...should everything the car needs already be in stock? Or are they calling Santa's workshop on the North Pole and not getting through?
