I called the ENCS rep here today and he said what I pretty much thought Doreo81. You were quoted a 2013 uplift with 2012 Specs. They don't have any 2013 Specs yet. That pretty much guarantees that you will not be getting a 2013 in May.

Congrats...I am still waiting on my Limited Eco Boost. We might get lucky and have it next week! Enjoy you ride!

I will go talk to my ENCS dealer tomorrow. I am 99% sure that they do have mil quote for the 213 but I also bet they don't have the 2013 specs. When they do these uplifts that means that they do not have any info and they are basically building a 2012 model for you thinking not much will change for 2013 . Although they are ENCS they are still car dealers and they are trying to get that commission. Also they have been known to "stretch" the truth a bit.. Many people do not know this but ENCS is part of the Overseas Military Sales Group, For you military people they are also the same guys who sell Toyota, Audi and VW to military overseas as well as other models. In fact you can order through ENCS and then go to the Audi dealership off base and they will be able to see your info and what you ordered in there mil quote. Until you get an order of acceptance and an actual build date then NOTHING that ENCS dealer tells you is set in stone. I have bought two cars off them and I am pretty familiar as to how they work.

ENCS is weird with their delivery dates unless you buy one that is already in stock and even that is not guaranteed. The Delivery date they quote is the very absolutely earliest they can get it to the port to get shipped overseas. That is assuming a bunch of factors that has to happen ( Production date, ship date from factory etc..) that are not even guaranteed. Also ordering this far advance tells me that they are not accepting anymore 2012 orders to be built. No one should put too much faith in the ENCS delivery date. Until they get an order of acceptance (from ENCS) and a build date (from Ford)....everything else is mainly wishful thinking

Doreo81 is not actually all that wrong. The way ENCS works is sometimes they do what is called an "uplift"for the next model year. The way I understand it is that they dont neccesarily have the the ordersheet for 2013 but they are betting on nothing changing as far as the body style. So what they do is up the price by about 5% or so thinking that is what Ford will do. Say he orders a 2013 based off the options the 2012 has. He can get locked into a price and when the 2013 model does come out and Ford decides to raise the price by a lot the most he has to pay is the price he agrees on or if the price drops he can get the cheaper price. The only works for the base price though, he still has to pay the ENCS price for the options. ENCS is tricky because I think they only get allocated so many slots for a model year then I think you have to order for the next year. Ordering for the next year is more or less a guesstimate. As Far as delivery goes I dont know about May but I do know that the Edge is in High Demand so it will take a while. I ordered a 2012 in Oct and it had an initial build time of April 2012 but I was able to get a slot in Nov ( I dont know how) and it just got here this week ( I am in the UK). Also for ENCS overseas yo should not bet too much on the delivery date until you get a build date.

I was actually looking to buy an AWD Edge Limited from ENCS with 301A and vision package. I was quoted $41,000 and that includes upgraded rims, the overseas shipping and 7 year extended warranty. I am still trying to decide if that is a good deal.
