Yes. He got ripped on dealer delivery.

Drive-away RRP with forged wheels should have been around $58900.

Dealer delivery on mine was $2490

Just remembered...that looks like its been ordered on MY16 pricing, think i read somewhere with MY17 / Sync 3 the price might be going up a small amount, DD might just be covering that change if they're aware of it and not a rip as such. Maybe anyway.....

Press car.

Apparently no customer cars will be released until 22/6 which is some fancy launch date.

There are some very peeved soon to be owners (me included) at this decision by Ford AU.

I love how everyone thinks it's Ford Australias decision.

I think it's been really hard for anyone to get the latest update Focus. I was getting annoyed at waiting for our Focus Sport earlier this year and that was before they started having supply issues.

It actually makes it better for me, I didn't like the fact the car would be here for 3 weeks before we got back from Sardinia!

It's totally Ford AU's decision to hold back the RS Focus cars.
I know of at least two RS customer cars that arrived with the Ford demo/press cars on 18/5. They have been advised by Ford direct that they wont be released until 22/6.

My car arrives 4/6 and my dealer would love to release to me 7-10 days after arrival as it means they get paid.

Not sure on RS, but that's one thing I don't like on the ST. I wouldn't call myself a big bloke, I just find the lateral support to narrow.
