OK looked at nitram's profile, he/she was 3/17 and then 9/26 ... they do have a ways to go before they get to me ! ! ! yours was a few days earlier than mine but still later than nitram's so perhaps a bit sooner; other threads are saying that the dealer is only getting about 30 cars or so but we're not sure on how often their getting shipments so its anybody's guess at this point

That's a key question....

I heard that 70 cars were in the first delivery, but I may have been misinformed.

Can you confirm how many ...

as most other dealers are getting 20 or 30 (not sure about California) ... is Loeber really getting 70 ???? (could be that as Knauz wasn't ready yet??)

Loeber/smart center Lincolnwood should be receiving their cars no later than Friday. Hope everyone can stop by in the near future and take a look/ test drive.

Thanks,
Colin

Thanks again for the update, Colin. I was going to take a half-day; so the post was really helpful.

Knauz, Lake Bluff got cars last night. They are all over the lot this morning.

8 cars. I JUST called and they expect 2 or 3 more truckloads today.
Let the PDI party begin.

I expect my car to land today, since I am batch 1173 and order #3 @ their dealership.
