I called my dealer he said about a week from now for Baltimore but he didn't know for sure. Hope he was wrong.

I got an email from my CA today. He said he was expecting it the second week of January from SC. He would email me when he had an actual delivery date.

asif163 · 12-28-2007, 04:48 PM

I just got a call from CA that my car is at the dealership. First thing he said- "Wow your car looks hot!" Haha...picking the car up on Monday at 10am confirmed. We couldn't do it tomorrow because the car needs some prepping etc so Monday it is.....the wait is almost over gentleman!

Prepping that take 3 days--sounds suspicious. I think he just wants to go pick up some hot babes in your hot new car over this weekend

Asif, if I were you I would have shown up at that dealership first thing in am tomorrow.

cycler · 12-28-2007, 10:15 PM

Asif I wouldnt take that lying down. Go in and demand to see your car. And if you dont get in tomorow tell them the deal is OFF LOL

From what I understand the car was delivered to the dealership yesterday around 5pm but, the dealers prep. dept. closes at 4:30pm on Friday. He said the car also needs to go through "PDI" and that this process can take some time and the dealership is closed on Sunday. My CA is actually off on Monday but, is just coming in at 10am to deliver the car to me. That being said, it sounds like it's going through just one solid full day of prep. Should I be worried? I thought everything was ok thus far- my CA is pretty good...hmmmm. I do really want it today! By the way, anyone know what PDI is?

I was just messing with you out of jealousy.

Don't know what PDI is. It is probably ok to wait till Mon.

Hold tight, Rob. We are having guests from Chicago now. Sounds like you guys need snowmobiles there, not BMWs with sport tires.

It is tantalizing to know that your car is somewhere close at some f....g warehouse in NJ. We are suffering here too

Happy New Year to everybody, Gents. We will have our babies this year!!!

cycler · 01-01-2008, 12:58 AM

Gents another day closer to getting our rides. America what a country. You pay and wait for everything. Ok Mike did you see moscow on the hudson? Great movie.

rcw119 · 01-01-2008, 09:59 PM

The Patriot is Docked in Charleston...Unloaded tomorrow and the domestic wait starts. At least it is on the same contenent as me. Should have it next week!

nmcampbell · 01-02-2008, 12:55 AM

As I understand it, "PDI" is "pre-delivery inspection" and according to my CA, the actual process for PDI only takes a few hours, including the programming. But if you have any dealer-installed options being put in, that could add to the time, plus if they're washing/detailing it for you that might add to it.

Oh man, that Domestic wait is the worst. Hope it goes easy for you.
Rob, our guests couldn't fly back to Chicago yeasterday, what is going on there?
Cycler and I still didn't get our cars.

asif163 · 01-02-2008, 09:54 AM

Hey guys! Happy New Year! So yea, I've had my car since New Year's Eve at 11am and I can't say how much I love it. I've already driven it 200 miles! Also, I actually had a NYE party at my house and my friends were very hesitant when I told them I'd be getting a car with red leather but, whenever anyone saw it they were stunned! I'll post some pics soon...you guys will be getting your cars any day now don't sweat it.

We were supposed to only get a couple of inches of snow. We actually got over 6 inches and it was very windy which was causing whiteout conditions. It is supposed to be in the uppoer 50s by the weekend.

I think the combo looks very tastefull even though I am not a bright-colors kind of guy. I don't think it would look right in sedan but for coupe it looks hot with aluminum and 6MT
