So Whats the Word in WA?

Moved to WA state threads.

What's the Word on the 2010?

I put a deposit down with the internet guy at a seattle area dealer a few weeks ago and the only thing I'm hearing is crickets!

I'm not flexible with my color or package. Which hurts my chances.

Starting to worry about that 7/31 deadline for sales tax exemption.

Should I contact multiple dealers? Is there some sort of organized regional allocation so I dont have to do this? Or is it every dealer for themselves?
Should I contact a dealer in PDX?
Should I let it ride for a few weeks?

I told the guy to call me when any package is in so i could test drive, check golf club/baby seat parameters and I've heard nothing.

Anyone took a test drive around Seattle?

I suspect I'm in the same boat with alot of you here.

The sales tax repeal thing really sucks. I didn't want to have to buy right away.

 

i just want to make sure i can fit my golf bag in the back and have it covered so it doesn't get stolen...not that im golfing much these days because of the two ankle biters discussed below.

right now we have a 18 month old and an infant with their respective seats. I want to make sure I can fit one of them behind me without having to drive with my knees in my chest.

even in my accord i have to scoot my seat up a little to give the 18 month old a little leg room in her seat behind me.

the only way to do it is to see the car and put my stuff in it.

thanks for the help tho.

i soo dont want to have to do a big search. it totally sucks the sales tax thing got repealed. I would have much rather waited until winter to deal with this. now i have until 7/31 or i have to pay sales tax.

i saw that PDX or oregon dealers have cars...it seems like WA dealers maybe got one or so each in may and are only expecting a few more in the next week or two.

the demand is going to be artificially high until that 7/31 cutoff.

 

i drove a package v with nav but wrong color last week. bad idea. now i really want one. the dealer i have a deposit with said they can see inventory for 5 states and will do their best to get the package/color i want before 7/31. they didnt promise anything tho.

the car seats fit ok..not quite as good as the accord, but not a deal breaker...same with golf clubs, they fit but it was tight...also not a deal breaker.

i really like the two guys ive been working with and would love to buy the car there, but can they get my car in time??

i now know they can see what their getting in 2-3 weeks which is good for me to have some notice to get some money together, but if i havent heard anything yet that means no dice thru the beginning of july....starting to cut it close.

 

hey marduk....i know its a hassle but most dealers do have some 10's in stock. the best way is to go check out the car for yourself...the only danger is really liking it like i did.

i dont think you would be able to have the driver's seat all the way back and have a forward facing car seat behind you...the seat back almost touches the car seat..ie no room for the kiddies feet/legs.
