If there's no number, how the hell would even the dealer know what the status of the order is!? It makes no sense. The guy I'm working with is a very good friend of a friend of mine, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt for a tad bit longer. He's said that the manager who placed the order should have the info Tuesday of next week if not in the next day or two. Any reason a special edition would be different? He made some mention of them building in batches based on color, etc etc... But I was only partially listening at that point. >.>
I've gotten in touch with Becky and she's said she'll work with me should my current order fall through. So I'll be working with her if I continue having problems.

In all honesty,... it sounds like the guy is pretty clueless. There should be someone there that can give you your order number immediately. It will be a 6 digit number consisting of numbers and letters. For example, mine is PWTB6G. He may not have a build date, BUT,.... if the order was actually placed he will have an order number. ALSO,.... no matter what options or model that you select you will have an order number as soon as the order is placed. His total lack of knowledge about the ordering process should be of some concern. It takes long enough to get a vehicle when a dealer "actually" orders it,... I'd hate to see you get drug along for a few weeks only to find out later that they didnt actually order a car for you. You're alot more patient than me,.... thats prob not a bad thing most of the time either,.......lol You should be insistant on getting an order number or you should go to a dealer that will give it to you. Here is why I think your being jacked with,..... an order number is the easiest thing in the world for your dealer to produce to you. It just raises a red flag when they hesitate and stall or come up with lame BS reasons to give you an actual number. I hope I don't offend you if this salesman is a friend of yours but if this dealership treats you like this now,..... how do you think you'll be treated "after" the sale? I'm just tryin to be a realist,....... Good Luck,.......
