Date Ordered: 9/17/05
Dealer Ordered From Alton, IL
Timeframe given for delivery: 5 - 6 months
Color: Classic Silver Metallic, Silver Pine Mica, or Seaside Pearl
Option Package: #5
Your # on Dealer's Waiting List: 17

I talked to my sales person yesterday and changed my option package to a #5 since #4 is not available at my dealer. I also added 2 more colors that I would acccept.

He said it could be any day or as long as 3 months????

They have known since we did---mid-Nov.---what packages they sell. Was there a mix-up (sounds like it) that resulted in your (now) being lower on the list than you had thought?

I can't believe the WAIT. My local dealer had 4 on the lot last week and they keep getting them at a pretty good pace.

Give my buddy an email and see if he can't help you out and end your WAITING.

I'm not any lower on the list. They told me in mid-Sept when I ordered it would be 5 - 6 months which would be mid-Feb or March.

They did not know in Sept that the packages and colors had changed. At that time, #4 was an option for this dealer. I'm purchasing from a dealer that is 2 hrs away in a bordering state. The local dealer can get a #4, but I won't purchase from them.

Do you think if I was #17 on the list in Sept for an 06 that I should have it by now or sooner?

On the positive side, it will still be eligible for the $3,100 tax credit in three months and you won't be getting as much cold weather to lower your gas mileage. ( At least this is the justification I am using for my wait)

Thanks for pointing out the positive! Another positive is that it gives me more time to save even more $ for the down payment which means less to finance.
