Bought my last vehicle in Edmonton after a not-great ordeal with a dealership here.

Ive already accepted the fact that it'll be spring next year. (march/april)
As long as I get it before my April 9th birthday.

now how the hell did u find this deal anyways? u live in edmonton but have some sweet calgary connections? good stuff man.. keep us informed

[dougcanuck]

you will be amazed what 20 or 30 phone calls can get you....i called every dealership in Alberta once i found out how long a new order would take. some guy's just laughed at me but i managed to find 3 ss cars that were not sold and about 5 or 6 LT cars... luck was on my side, the last dealer i called in Calgary had a yellow 2SS with all the goodies. Been reading on this website for a long time so thought i would add my story..good luck to all in Edmonton...cars will be here soon..

[Bond]

Right on Doug! Congrats man.
I went on a hunt for the Silver SS/RS LS3 but no luck.

So I ordered from Jack Carter's in Calgary.
Now it's just the waiting game!

I think most people sign on here to get info on their car, not their smoking habits. Anyone know of a chat room here for adults that follow instructions? Please let me know. Meanwhile, this is the room with the most applicable title for my concerns, and I know of no other place to direct them, so I'm hoping for some words of wisdom.

I ordered a black 2SS/RS from Nicholson Chev in Edmonton on March 24/09. I gave a 5g deposit on the spot and the waiting has been killing me ever since. Especially since I put the 5g's on my credit card! I've received no updates or info on my car since then. I've called a couple of times over the last 2.5 months, and the best they can tell me is "you should have it before the end of summer." But from what I've seen in other chat rooms, people that ordered 2 months after I did are being told the same thing. A buddy technically ordered his in November of 2006 from Red Deer Motors and he has no info either. Pike Wheaton in Red Deer said they would have showroom models at the end of May. I went to see last week, and they said "maybe in a few more days." My dealer didn't even know what event codes were until I sent them a paste of what I've been seeing posted here. I've seen posts from people that ordered right around the same time as I did, and they've been getting TPW's. But Nicholson says it doesn't mean we'll get our cars anywhere around the same time. I've honestly read every peice of info I could get my hands on since making my decision, and I still don't understand how anyone is getting their status updates, VIN numbers, etc.

Is my dealer being honest with me? Why have the yanks have been getting their cars since mid-April while the car is a fairy tale around here? I mean, I cant even find one of those so-called "show room V6's, not for sale" to sit in. How can I get these event code updates on my car? In spite of my purchase date, will my price be reflective of what the Canadian dollar is worth?

Yours truly,

Frustrated

That sucks that Nicholson Chev isn't updated you. I ordered from them as well. I have emailed Tomas (the new car sales manager) and got status updates and a TPW. I ordered on March 4th. I have a TPW of June 15 (hoping for a VIN next week and hopefully delivery early July. Nicholson had their 1st V6 maybe like 3-4 weeks ago. It was a IOM 2LT RS. The sales manager called me to tell me that they had one in. I got to sit in it for as long as I wanted. Didn't get to drive it though :( They sold it a few days later. Who do you talk to when you call for information? The reason I ask is that my salesperson (Tammy) doesn't really know much about the car or the ordering process. If you want real information you need to talk to Tomas (the sales manager). He can look up your order on the computer and see the status code and any other information. If you want I can send you a private message with his email address. If you have any other questions about Nicholson let me know, I will do my best to answer them.
