Am I getting BS`ed
#1
After going to the Chicago auto show and talking to 4 different salesman from different dealers around Chi I got an offer of $500 under MSRP and 4-6 weeks delievery on a ordered GT. The other dealers at the show were at MSRP and 90 days. The salesman I talked to was from a town about 50 miles from where I live so I went to a local dealer and asked about delievery time and was told 4-6 weeks, after he met the $500 under MSRP offer, I agreed to order the car. As I was doing the paperwork the salesman came back and asked if I could take the car earlier. He explained that there was a order in the pipeline and that they could change the specs to the options I wanted and the car would be here in 3-4 weeks. Is this true ? or am I getting a line of crap ? Can a dealer do this with car they have been alloted. This sounds to good to be true. By the way, they had a GT prem with just a auto added on the showroom floor the sticker said 26675 and the price of the car said 31000

I guess I don't see why not. When I went in to order my dealer let me look through their book of stock orders already in system. There were several close matches however, close is not what I wanted.

Also, there were two orders that people had walked out on. Both were V6's again, not what I wanted.
Asking to see what unclaimed cars are already on order seems like a good way to get your car a little sooner.

The only time they can really lock you in a date is when it has been serialized. Once that happens though, there is no changing the order. Then things change. Quality control gets there hands on your car or 6 more inches of snow gets dumped on the ground somewhere between here and there. I was promised I would have my order before the 23rd of this month.
The evil recorder lady says they will build it on the 28th.
I guess it will be a belated birthday present.
Who know how long the wait will be after that.
I guess I am trying to say dont get tooo hung up on promises from different salesmen over delivery times.
Grabbing someone elses abandoned order could cut a few weeks off though
