Well I gave up...really wanted an Escalade (owned alot of Denalis and Escalades). Talked to my local Dealer Principal and friend and he told me to find something else. He has all 3 brands, Cadillac, GMC, and Cheby and cannot even order a Denali or Escalade with Air Ride. He said the GM supply chain is so F'd up and they cannot get answers from their upper level Division Mgr anymore. All fleet sales have been cancelled and they may get a Denali order dropped in but again, no air ride. Never seen it this bad he said. And I came across a fully loaded Cadillac Platinum with every option (yes even SC and Night Vision) at a dealer about an hour away, and available, and those ass clowns added an Admin Fee of $12k. I offered to write them a check for MSRP less my supplier discount and they laughed, it would have been about $102k plus taxes. I would never pay MSRP or even close to it since I have always had Supplier Pricing (Escalade is about -$5500 off MSRP). No ******* way I am paying List+ for GM product. They wanted $119,700 for that Escalade. I told them no ******* way...that was the last straw for me.
You folks that put non-refundable deposits down are insane. Never, ever do that. A good dealer would never even entertain that. I really hope you get your rides but the dealer prin I know and spoke too said there is no end in sight and most likely will never see your car arrive exactly the way you built it. Please be sure if you put money down have the build sheet signed and it has every dam option you wanted or walk.
Kept my appointment at Benz dealer and ordered a new GLS 580. Keep sending everything to China Mary Barra, such an awesome ******* country!
