Exclamation DORA help!

Just got my DORA yesterday from my dealer.*(See pic) But I cannot really understand every details on it. for example what the Alter-order mean? Why my Vin # is only 7 digits long? How long I have to wait til my stang been built, been delivered? How is the total price?
Thanks a lot

Alter order means that something was changed from the original order so it is the 2nd dora. That isn't the vin as one hasn't been assigned to the car yet. They don't do that till they schedule the car to be built. If it hasn't been scheduled yet I would say you are atleast a month away but it all boils down to wether the dealer has allocation for the car to be built. It seems weird as the order date is 08/17 but that dora wasn't printed till 09/07 so the change was made the day before that. There may have been an error with the order which was causing it not to pull. I'm surprised they gave you the dora as it has their cost on it.

Thank u soooooo much ChadStang. "Alter order" means some error occured between 8/17----9/7? How come a simple order paper which confirmed by me when I deposit them contains error? Any way, hope the I can see my car in a month. Do u know what kind of error can cause an "Alter order"? And u said the dealer can allocate my car, so I need to call them to get it hurry,right?

Alter order means that the dealer or Ford changed the order. There may have been an issue with an option or paint that caused the order not to pull so they changed it. The dealer doesn't allocate the car, Ford does. Even though the dealer has ordered the car, the order can not be built unless they have allocation. For example if I order 100 Mustangs this month the only ones they will build are what I have allocation for. If I have 1 allocation only 1 one the hundred will be built. The order with the lowest priority number will be built. The werid thing is that they haven't ordered it as a retail order which will make it tougher to get allocation for it. A retail order should have a priority number lower than 20 and show your name at the bottom.
