The week has come and gone and the ERL still says:

As of April 8th your unit is scheduled to be built the week of April 4th

Deep breaths, remain calm! The ERL will tell you nice things in a few days.

So you want someone to call 911? Ok, be right back.........oh wait what's the number? JK

Congrats. Hopefully it won't be too much longer for you. Just remember though, once you get the car, you forget the wait.

dont get to worried when I called the ERL when I was finally put to rail I never got any " AT RAMP, ON CONVOY" nothing like that. IMO the ERL is good to a point but once the car was built it was kinda worthless. Hang in there I know the wait is hard specially now, but it shouldnt be much longer

Relax, mine says the same thing. My dealer called and told me it had been built. If you have the VIN, can't you go ahead and get financing?

Ya, me too. Once I had the build week it didn't change until the week after it had passed. Later, ERL said the car was on a rail car when I had her parked in my garage. It was 14 days from the day she was built to the day she was delivered. You're close!

I'm not paying for a car I haven't at least driven or seen, on principle. Besides I'm going to break the dealer's heart when I get the car for 200 under invoice and not take their financing. I'm going to drop that bomb after the deal is signed.

I doubt the dealer will care where you finance. Can't you just extend the financing for a week?

Dealerships sometimes make more on financing than they do the sale of the car.

I asked what would happen if it took longer and they said it could be extended for "a few days". There's nothing I can do about it anyway. Whatever happens happens.

No...... Dealers ALWAYS make more on financing. Thats where they make the most money. I would explain how it all works, but its 10am sunday morning and I jsut woke up and I don't feel like tapping it all out.

Funny. I have never been directed by my dealer to any particular lender. Does US Bank pay the dealer a kick back?

Kickback, yes, it's called a reserve. It's been a few years since I sold cars, but if memory serves, there's a specific percentage that each lender pays back to the dealer. Also, there's different tiers tier 1 being for people w/ good credit, tier 0 for the best credit and lowest rates, tier 2, worse credit... etc.
