ok, maybe its a zip code issue, because when I go on Chevys site and provide my zip...I select impala SS for example...I first get the trim, I choose SS 1SS. After that colors interior/exterior. That is not a huge issue, everyone has colors provided online. So next is options..
NOW, the ONLY thing I can add is radio/speaker upgrade and sunroof. Initially, I figured this was because the SS already had a loaded package (which it does, and when I read it I am pleased) but many of that package I wouldnt need or want on my camaro. I also did the LS through chevy's site and the only thing I can add is keyless entry and moldings...
now...go to ford for the mustang same deal, trim packages and colors. Then followed by wheels which you have 5 rim packages and two different tire packages which are not assigned to a certain trim. Radio packages are offered the same..but then the accessories. You have 30 additional accessories (granted some do cause you to purchase another to correlate the package)...now I am a GM man through and through, but I do commend Ford on this. In some of the SS packages for GM you don't have the option to delete those accessories, UNLESS you go to the dealer and b---- back and forth with them. Accessories such as key less entry, blue tooth, ipod duct, or cargo net? These are 1,200 dollars worth of neat toys that truthfully, I could live without and probably would delete that option if I was given the opportunity online.
Now, before I get burned, realize I have always been a chevy man. My PROBLEM with this and why I bring it to your attention is when I went into chevy.com....wanted an SS trailblazer and used the print off method to bring to the dealer, the website was set up exactly the way it is now. Yes, I got my color, my trim...but there were things I DIDNT WANT in that trim selection, yet there were things I wanted offered by the SS that the other trims just DONT offer, such as the rim package and upgraded performance. Why do I want to spend an additional 1500 for lil perks that I can live without? I would bring my print out in and then you get in an argument with a dealer about how he will "cut me a deal" if I purchase it with the accessories and dont build it. Or my favorite "oooh the dealership down the road has this EXACT vehicle, do you really wanna wait to build it".
So yes, I do have some bad experiences with it, and apologize for the rant. I want to print the damn paper off..and say this is exactly what I want, DONT change it. Give me an estimate and lets get started on it, don't whip out your big a-- trim package book..its done
