I need a little help.

What is the drop dead date after which you can no longer make changes on a factory ordered car?

I'm contemplating a couple of minor changes, and my SA says that since the order flipped over to status 150, over the weekend, he says, I can no longer make changes. I've read a few threads on this topic in the past, and did a search this evening, but was unable to turn up the info I need.

I seem to recall that (in prior threads) you could make changes up to week prior to actual production starting.

Did I remember correctly?

TY

Status 150 = Production Start

Now, their view of production start is very different than your. The system is locked from changes and production of the new car is being "arranged". It is too late to change anything now. You are still days/week away from the car actually being assembled but for your purpose of making changes on this car ...... its too late.
