NO NO NO..... walk in in person. Look for the New car sales manager AND the General Manager. Talk to them in person. DO NOT let your fingers do the walking. Even if they tell you someone else is "ON THE LIST", get off your butt, do down there and show them you are REAL. Someone on "the list" may have been a salesmans friend. The GenL mgr just might override any "LIST" by asking the new car manager for details on who made the list, how it was made, etc etc.. The warm bodies with eye contact and handshakes... oh and getting on your knees and begging....... DO WORK. Ask yourself.... have you dont everything you CAN DO to make your dream come true? Can they see the sincerity in your eyes over the phone? I took my laptop with me. Did you know some of the salespeople and others in charge at 7pm may not have seen the Dealer Reference manual? Mine had not. I opened it up right on their desk. I traveled out of state last night. I left my house at 4:45 (and got to the out of state dealer at 7:30pm) after finding all my local dealers had all their cars "spoken for"... pissed me off because there had been promises. I went to GM's website, located dealers, and called over 15 til I found ONE who had 4 allocated and only 1 spoken for. They informed me they had had phone calls but were only going to respond to REAL, IN PERSON, requests. Needless to say, I DROVE MY AS& OFF last night, and I feel better today. FYI, I was also told I could get it AT COST. Not kidding. My message here is not to brag or anything but to help you FOCUS on your method to secure this car if you want it. Yes, you have to make calls to start with, but PROBE the reality of thier LIST. The sincerity of those on the LIST. Worst case scenario, make yourself a FIRST ALTERNATE because once price is announced there will surely be some who drop out.
But get on the LIST by being IN PERSON if possible. When I read your posts, I wonder how much real EFFORT some put into REACHING THE GOAL?
OK. Sorry for carrying on so long. I won't really know what is happening to my order until the FAT LADY SINGS, anyway. So my method may ultimately prove fruitless. But, I can respectfully tell myself I did all I could do and will have no regrets. If it doesn't happen, so be it. NEXT....
