I have a white one. She is rare apparently.

 

Interesting that white was the least produced color.

I admit I have a bit of buyer's remorse not getting the Nitrous Blue, especially sitting next to my brother's Kona Blue ST, but I remember how much of a pain taking care of any other color is and I feel better. :tongue:

 

white is my favorite as I came from a white st. the black is growing on me though!

 

What a great thread! Thank you for doing this, OP!

 

It was mentioned in another thread that the 17's were finished in mid June, and that the '18 LE's were being made until the model changeover. My dealer phoned me the day of the LE announcement to say I wasn't getting my SB '17 ordered in August because of the LE's. At least I can have his LE allocation if i want it. Can someone confirm they're still making 17's?

 

The last build date I found was 6/16/2017. Not sure if that means the factory has stopped 2017 production, or if there's a delay between actual build and ETIS availability. I would guess there's a delay.

 

Can you do the same for the 2016 model year?

@jm1fd Don't get too greedy. I've had my IP address blacklisted on ETIS (Access Denied) for doing something similar.

As for 2016, F-R-S shared his data a while back:

Wouldn't a Tor network fix that? Just have the output IP from the Tor bounce around the world.

Unknown. I couldn't find a way to definitively determine US/Canada/Mexico from the ETIS data. The window sticker has the info, but at this point lots have been taken down, and it isn't clear if the country information is on the sticker in the form of actual text or curves/images.

 

Damn. Would be interesting to know. Probably a small percentage made it to Canada

interesting news because I placed an order for a NB one in april and was told back then "august"
I still have no confirmation or delivery date about it, maybe I can switch to an LE ? I have to phone Ford
I took the forged wheels and full options already so I wouldn't mind adding the front diff price to the bill if possible.

 

I have a picture of the window sticker from a RS I spotted at my dealership it only has
1 VIN
2 barcodes
1 QR code
1 number (big sized)
no text

 

I'd have to look to be certain but Tor exit nodes I believe are per session, it's not per request. So it might be something like establish a connection, run the tool until it blocks you, then reconnect and repeat.

Have you been saving the PDF results from all the VINs you have run? If you rate limited your requests (to reduce chances of being blocked) and your tool could take configurable ranges it would be fairly trivial to distribute the data collection. Once we had a full set of PDFs you'd have all the time in the world (and no risk of blocking) to work out how to analyze the contents.

 

Have you been saving the PDF results from all the VINs you have run?

Nope. I'm not even using PDFs to collect the data I have so far. It is just a glob of HTML from ETIS.

Gathering PDFs would be a different pile of code aimed at a different site.

 

Good news! I was able to compile data by scraping window stickers! There was just enough readable text for me to compile destination country information for the cars where stickers were available.

Can someone confirm that Ford's system returns a "Sticker Unavailable" message after a car is sold? If that's truly the case, then there's an astonishing amount of inventory (3319) sitting on the ground, or on a boat headed this way!

Notes: Some stickers couldn't be viewed via the site, they are:

• NoSticker: The system returned a sticker unavailable message.
• Restricted: The system returned a message indicating the sticker was restricted from viewing via the site I was using.

 

I can't access my window sticker via the lookup anymore... my assumption is they take them down after a car is sold. A good way to run this theory is to use this thread: http://www.focusrs.org/forum/11-focus-rs-purchasing/30385-2017-vin-who-185.html#post1371122

Quick check tells me that they're either sold or they're not built/shipped yet.

 

Any luck on running this on the MY16 ETIS? Thanks for doing this. As someone in IT, I gotta love when someone uses their tech knowledge for the greater good. Generally I scrape code to pull media content, but this is a great use!

 

Someone posted a link to the 2016 data further back up the thread, I believe. Was it missing something you were interested in?
