But yesterday I stopped by to see when mine would be made. The guy said well that depends on whenever they start production on the 2012s. I informed him that that happened 3 days ago.
Oh, also, for some reason, they won't give me my order number. I explained to them that I could update myself online if I had that, and I told them about Becky's helpfulness. Wonder why they're guarding that number?
He finds out it will be the 1st week of August. Then he says it may sit wherever it's made for a week or two until G.M. has other cars to send my direction..due to gas prices. GRR!! Anyway, I informed him that it was being made in Oshawa, Canada.
He said they may get it out quickly since it's special order, and not just going to the dealer, but again, it could sit there for a week or two.
Also, they don't seem to want to give me my order number. I explained to them that I could check online what's going on, and I told them about Becky's helpfulness. Wonder why they're guarding this info?

As you go through life, you'll learn everyone has an agenda.
You want some information? Does it conflict somehow with the sales guy's agenda? Will he have extra work to do if he gives it to? If he gives you a date and it turns out wrong will you bust his balls?
Expect the absolute minimum from people and you won't be disappointed. Sad, but true.
