I'm also @3100 as of today with a 6mt. I didn't have these on my build but Carbon 1 and 2 packages are on constraint and I believe the carbon seats are as well. At the time my order was first pulled, all of the new for 23 colors were also on constraint but the dealer was eventually able to get...
Just to clarify, did you tell the dealer to sell the car to someone else? If so, and you didn't get them to agree to other terms, I'm not really sure what you expect them to do now. That doesn't mean I don't think it sucks they didn't fix it prior to delivery. But, you know these cars have deep...
As long as the dealer is transparent, up-front, and the deal is made by two willing parties, I don't see it as a great business practice but if those are the terms that were agreed, then so be it. Manufacturer limitations aside, switching things up after an agreement is reached is unethical at...
For what it's worth, I didn't take any of your comments as snarky, nor am I in the least upset by them or anyone who may have a different opinion on anything I've said. I agree that inflation has to some degree taken a toll and also agree that shareholder value is also a part (and likey a bigger...
Indeed a 23 is not a 22 but it is ostensibly the same car for a lot more $$$. It would be more palatable if I hadn't been waiting so long or if a 23 had substantive changes over my 22. The whole point of price protection is to prevent people who wait for a car from experiencing a price hike...
@Rob sorry just want to better understand your response. I have an order for a 2023 BW5 at status 3000 right now with TPW 7/25. Since 2023 pricing was officially just announced, will this order be at 2022 or 2023 pricing?
You're likely right but there is some ambiguity in having an order in before pricing is even available to dealers and well before it's offically announced. Bear in mind that most people with accepted orders for 23 model year cars tried to get 22s that were never picked up. Waiting a year for a...
I believe all new cars registered in CA require CA emissions on them regardless of where it was purchased. I don't recall whether NJ uses CA emssions standards but a lot of states do not. To be registered in CA without CA emissions, a car must be considered used. I think that requires the car to...
The way I see it, you represent your customers, your community, your profession, and your brand.
For full transparency, are you stating with this thread that GM, if presented with a warranty claim, would not correct the defects present in the photos shared herein under their stated warranty? If...

the section on "pre-delivery service" is pretty clear that end clients are not responsible for covering defects and transit damage...
The manufacturer has warranted a 4th option, have the dealer bring the car to new car standards. That should be the go to and from there if the remedy taken to make that happen is not acceptable to the buyer, then they can walk.
Call me a cynic Dustin but I'm having a hard time understanding why a customer should pay for this corrective treatment and why the proposed solution is a dealer add on that I assume isn't offered at cost.
I've purchased roughly 40 new cars in my lifetime and never saw anything close to what...
I personally wouldn't buy the car to flip it. Either your circumstances make this car purchase sensible or they don't. If things have changed then being up front with the dealer is where I would go. That probably gives you the best shot of reentry to their wait list if you truly think in a year...
With you on that 100%. I'm on 2 lists at MSRP and if I'm fortunate enough to get an allocation I will remove myself from the other list. The only thing that bugs me more than dealers charging over MSRP is people buying cars from dealers selling at MSRP simply to flip them. Both actions prevent...
