Great Quickdraw, here's mine;
1FAHP60A93Y108753
2003 Whisper White / Black Ink Accent
There is a date, 3-13-03 on my sticker, what is that one?

[Quickdraw]

You prefer Sophia or Donna?

I don't have a sticker to reference but my guess is that was the date the sticker was printed. We'll see tomorrow how that date coincides with the build date.

Sophia works for me.
That date is across the bottom of the sticker with a lot of other numbers

Sophia,

1FAHP60A93Y108753
Ordered: 2/20/03
Produced: 3/25/03
At dealer: 4/2/03
Sold on: 7/7/03

The only thing that happened on 3/13/03 was that was the day the system decided what day your car would be built (based on options, orders, and etc). This is 3/13 date is called the "Blend day" and the dated sticker may have been printed that day as well.

By the way, since you said you have a white premium, with black accent, and I assume a white hardtop, yours is one of only 616 2003s similarly produced.

2FAST4U,

VIN #:1FAHP60A82Y120648
Ordered: 5/3/02
Produced: 6/11/02
At dealer: 6/28/02
Sold on: 5/30/03

Guess you got yours below invoice....

Quickdraw. thanks for the info on my 'Bird!.. I appreciate!...
And as for the comment about the price I got, yes, you're right...I got a pretty good deal on it! ! Sticker price was $59,635. (canadian $ )...and I paid $46,000. The dealer gave me a good deal for two reasons: He was a friend of mine, and second he had another one in stock (Which he still hasn't sold, and is still for sale!...a brand new 2002!...) I suppose someone could get a good deal on that one too!!!
that's it!...again thank you!
'bye!

Thanks very much for the info
Ordered it....
I was told that the long wait to arrive at dealer was due to an overheating problem that the Ford engineers found in testing the 2002 production models. It's my understanding that the 2002's that had been shipped were all called back to Mich. for a fix and those that had not been shipped were fixed before being shipped to dealers. This resulted in a stop/slowdown of delivery.

I would like to know when my '02 Blue Bird was built:

1FAHP60AX2Y128251

Many thanks,

Penny, I cant tell you until Monday when your car was built but if you have a blue hardtop you have the twin to mine.

There were 840 2002 Blue/Blue/Black Accent/Premimums made. Plus I saw a totaled one for sale at ebay so theres only 837 unaccounted for....
