If CA is found to be Full of Sh-t...
In all honesty, i'm enjoying this waiting game...how sick is that??? It keeps me excited, I like the tracking, I like talkingt to you guys about your experience with your orders. It's a good way to kill some downtime during the work day.
When i ordered my car, the CA told me END OF MAY gauranteed, as my production number was set to go into production...ANY DAY. I have a feeling he is wrong. The 800 number just said "end of week 20". That puts me at the end of June to see the car(I am in NYC). My issue is not the wait, it's with being without a car, since my e90 should be taken over with 2 weeks. Would I be able to push my dealer into me a loaner if he is proven to be way off? Has anybody ever been able to work this out? i don't even care what it is...I just need "something"... As Steve Martin said planes, trains and automobiles..."A f'n toyota, A f'n buick, a f'n dotson...4 f'n wheels and a seat!!!" |

Dude - you live in NYC... you could go for years without a car! P.S. How did you get your name changed?

That makes sense. I have a cousin in the city and she leaves every weekend too. She pays a lot for parking all week!

Definitely a classic movie.
As for a loaner, I have heard of it happening, but I would be very surprised if they did that. I would think you would need that in writing when the deal was done. But if you catch them in a lie, it can't hurt to try.

You have a better chance playing pickup sticks with your butt cheeks than seeing that car in May!

I doubt it. I know when I mentioned to my dealership that mine was crashed they said they couldn't loan me one that long. I'm sure by now I could but than again I'm not in town right now either. I'd think for a few weeks they might but probably not longer.

I would wait until this week is over.
If you are Week 18 (and I think you may be), your baby will go into production as scheduled. My CA swears it will be this week...even though the 800# (live person) STILL says "Week 20" and the 800# recording (and OC) says "on Order with no confirmed production date". On Monday (or Tues, or Wed) we will know...
