#1 This was in no way ment to flame the particular dealership in question. You will notice there was no identifying information in my post about the dealer. He posted showing his information with a very nice apology... cant fault him for that. Thank you.

#2 I Understand that chat is not a preferable medium for doing buisiness... however for some quick information i tried it... probably wont do that again.

#3 This is to show how some interactions with dealers go... I know i probably have more total information about the car than he does, almost all members that sit down and actually read these boards do, i like to be a very informed consumer. The information that i do not have and is not available on these boards are what i was asking for: Allocation to that particular dealership (which is apparently a secret) and timeframe that that allocation is expected over. Two things an informed dealer should have for a new release car. Now I understand if he does not have that in front of him. The correct answer if that is the case is "I do not know currently, but if you give me your contact information i will get back to you". DEFINATELY NOT "I'm busy, is there anything else?"

#4 Yes you can take down 30 orders.... they will not see them for quite awhile though if your initial allocation is 9. That is how an allocation plan works.

#5 As a customer i expect Two things Honesty and respect. I will not fault them for honesty, I do not belive in his mind he was telling me anything he believes untrue. However, maybe needs to bone up on allocation plans: if you preorder does not mean you will see it in march.

#6 Get the information from your dealer and draw your own conclusion... They do not need to put it together for you... As far as i can tell this allocation goes through september although this has never been verified by anything.... just hearsay. So ask your dealer if he knows....might get some information through proper channels.

SO: March through september = 6 Months 9 car allocation gives your 1.5 cars per month making #4 arriving in MAY? maybe..... all i want is the information and this like pulling teeth? The answer is not "Im busy, your wasting my time" as im obviously a serious buyer, going to be giving someone thousands of dollars for brokering a deal.
