T-minus 45 and counting!

I got the call late yesterday that my Dory is 45 days out. Hmmmm, since the call came yesterday, and I'm posting today (@$%@$#!$ internet connection ) I guess that makes it T-minus 44 days and counting!!

The young woman who called from Round Rock said she didn't have the VIN but that Marty would call me with it.

I got the call yesterday and they told me that $1000 is required before the car arrives. Did they tell you the same thing? Maybe this was in the fine print. I don't have a problem with it, just didn't remember hearing about this.

Nope, no deposit required. They said they'd call the day before or the day she arrives.

The deposit is an option -- some dealers charge it, some don't.

I think you are at one of those messed up greedy dealers that either want a down payment or are charging extravagent fees for prep and crap. Round Rock is the best. They not greedy Dealers like most out there as far as I am seeing. There should be a standard that should be in place. Oh well, good luck.

Hiya Janet,
What color are ya getting?
Everytime I stop by my local Smart dealer to look at the orphans, I change my mind about the color.
Lately, I like the red/silver.
I have a loooong wait - I barely even put the deposit in around a month ago.
I might end up getting an orphan sooner, and see how many miles I can accumulate before my reservation comes up. Then I can trade it in, LOL!!
Best Regards,
Nu

It's not for fees. It goes towards the total amount due, so it's a deposit. This dealer is in Boston. They do agree to take personal checks, though, instead of just bank checks.
