Having heard/read a few similar stories of dealers screwing up someone's order, this kind of error is still hard to fathom, considering the cost of these things, and dealer reputations, to say the least. But I knew it was possible before I got my allocation.Ya there are things that are added by the dealer on arrival but certainly not front lift or back exhaust tips or different colour interior for example. I am not concerned about the deposit due to the fact that they are a well regarded large dealership who up to this point have been very upfront about everything. They seem to have a good reputation which I’m sure is important to them. Mistakes do happen .
I am hoping that on Monday having looked at the situation, and I do have the email trail, that they will offer to submit the proper order using one of their available allocations . I in all fairness would not have been able to pick up the vehicle until the end of April at the earliest due to 62.4 degrees north latitude, lol . With any luck it will work out but at the same time I felt lucky having avoided any UAW issues. So who knows. Considering the fairly large chunk of cash involved like most I would like to have the vehicle I specified. Fingers crossed , again.
I was lucky enough to live within a few miles of my dealership, and actually went and sat down with my guy when he called to say we were up. We reaffirmed/rebuilt my preferred vehicle and options in person, and then waited while he printed it. Went over it again, and confirmed everything, and watched while he submitted the order, status 2000. A few days later it went to 3000. Done deal. I hope we got it right.
I can't imagine how much stress this recent revelation has added to your weekend.
Hope it all works out.
