I think the point is we can't buy direct from the manufacturer. If cadillac auctioned off cars themselves to the highest bidder I think there would be a lot fewer people upset.
That said, I don't have a problem with dealers marking up their own allocations nearly as much as I do them marking up...
My EDD is this week, and I want to put together a checklist to send to my dealer. Hopefully this helps others as well. Let me know what else everyone can think of, or if you disagree with any of these.
Remove spacers
Do not install track only brake ducts
Include body color mirror covers (I...
I had a late July TPW and was 3400 until mid oct. I thought the same thing regarding components. It could be that some didn't pass QC as you mentioned, or we don't totally understand the process. Either way, a month after TPW isn't that much compared with some. Agree lack of clarity is brutal.
When did everyone start applying for financing? I want to shop around, and have an EDD that's quite soon. But given the goatrodeo, when happens if I find financing and it takes another month? I assuming terms are only locked in for a short time.
Materials themselves certainly wouldn't be 30-40k, but setting up supply chains etc for a small volume vehicle could end up costing that much per car I would think, but I'm just guessing.
They could potentially mitigate the volume issue by offering a high end interior trim level on the CT5 for...
I'll take the other side of this. I think for badge reasons they would have a hard time selling the blackwing if it were the same price as an m5 competition or rs7, even if the interior were improved and it was better in every way.
Except the tranny, that would sell cars.
Perhaps we should a thread (or even a sticky) with a checklist of stuff to make sure the dealer does, or leaves with the car. I haven't been paying too much attention but seems there are several things.
Agree with these points. Especially the residual table feeling way off. But there's something to be said for the lease if we're all off on how this holds value (say gas goes to $10/gallon). If it's higher, just buy it out at the resid price and you're in a similar spot as if you just bought to...
