you find another dealer that has the new color like you ordered in stock and go to look at it and don't like it?


Well I'll tell you how I handled it. So a little over a month ago I ordered a Tungsten Grey with the bullet wheels, like most everyone else I hadn't seen the color in person. Well I found a dealership that had a V6 Pony package Tungsten on the lot with the same wheels. Driving up to the lot I could already see a purplish hint to the paint and had a bad feeling. My hope was the grey on the center of the wheels would match the grey on the car. Not even close!! It was like having bumpers that didn't match. I was very disappointed.

It just so happens they had a Black 06 sitting right next to it. Not the wheels I wanted, those can be changed, but it had the ICUP (which I didn't like at first) but loved it after seeing in person) and the shaker 500.

My order was still clean and unscheduled, so the longer I waited the more truck payments I would have to make and the less trade in value I would have.

To make a long story short, here's what I now have sitting in my driveway. I absolutely LOVE IT!


Edit: Having trouble with my picture host it looks like. Please bear with me.

Well it looks like you need to change your name unless you bought the V6. The closest color to the Bullitts is Mineral Gray and that is gone for 06. Congratulations and here's a nanner~ :banana2: :banana2:

My Photo Album

Rich: Yes I guess I'll have to change my name. I'll do that and post after I finish my first "mod" tonight... Red Calipers.

Matt,

The black rocks, congratulations!

I sort of did the same thing. I was C/U for weeks and weeks until I found the car I ordered on another lot so I bought it! It ddn't have IUP but did have ISAP. I couldn't be happier with my decision.

Again, congratulations and enjoy that sweet ride!
