I could not agree more. I ordered a Yukon with premium package and a few other options in January 2021 and I’m order has not been accepted and then even more restrictions happened. There are a few item like adaptive cruise that I am just not willing to give up. So I guess I will keep waiting and maybe 2022 will fair better! I want what I want.
For ***** and giggles, I actually looked at one of my local dealerships. They actually happened to be getting the exact vehicle that I ordered - 2WD the same interior color, same exterior color, with the exception of rear seat media that comes on the vehicle.
It was listed for MSRP online, and they don’t take supplier right now. So I told him OK, MSRP I’ll put a deposit down to hold the vehicle because it’s not there yet and I don’t want it to be sold before I lose my chance. Well they come back with it’s $10,000 over MSRP and I basically told him to take the car and shove it. Lol
But I could put a $2500 deposit down on an order that they cannot say exactly when I would get it, but it’s nonrefundable and it would be the exact same vehicle that is coming on the truck right now. So let me get this straight you can’t do supplier pricing on the incoming vehicle nor can you do MSRP on the incoming vehicle, but yet I can sit down build the exact same vehicle and place the order with the supplier price?
They’re still using their allocation. This is a very confusing time.
some dealers tell me that their orders will open up in three months for a 22 order. The good news is the order that I’m holding right now, my sales guy tells me the orders for them - they get allocation in July for a 22. So I think I’m just gonna stick with the same dealer. So yeah it’s definitely best to wait because otherwise it’s just a bait and switch game with these dealerships unfortunately.
The one thing I really don’t like about my sales guy though I’ve asked to change the color and he tells me I have to cancel the whole order and do a whole new order like I’ve been waiting in line for three months now we’re almost 3 months actually sorry and I don’t wanna lose my spot in line just because I want to change one little color.
