I was just typing most of this as a PM to Shay2nak and thought the story might be of some interest to others....
What number are you at Silver Star ? Have you ordered ? I can't wait for them to get a demo. The prime reason I still have a deposit with them is so I can drive the demo.
My car is ordered since March at Steve Harris. I got screwed over by Silver Star. I was number 37 and with drop offs I got called to order amoung the top 30 last March. It happened they called me the day after I put in my order with Steve Harris in SLC. I laughed and told them the story about ordering the day before. They didn't think it was funny and were angry about me being on two lists. They pretty much threw me off their list. I reluctantly said OK as my deposit at Steve Harris was now non refundable anyway. Weeks went by and I got no refund of my $1k. About this time the stories about different size dealer allocations were running rampant and I knew Harris in SLC would not get a large allotment. If the stories turned out to be true that different dealers would get bigger allotments, I figured I better try and get back on a LA dealer list. I decided to call Silver Star and be put back on the list, at first they refused. After two more weeks of waiting I still got no check. I called again and said I'm tired of waiting for my refund, besides I'd rather be back on the list. They said they didn't want their lst to appear artificially long because of multiple deposit holders like me. I told them I just want a car as soon as possible, probably just like they do. I also told them I only looked to another dealer as protection against price markup because they had refused to gaurantee MSRP. At any rate I am now back on the list having been skipped over so to speak. I am supposedly #1 of the next group to order but who knows, they've still got my money.
Am I the only one to be told to take a hike ?
