Show and (OR) Tell us when you got your car.

I thought I would start this thread today because BOTH Chicago and Lake Bluff have cars today. I expect to see mine tomorrow or within a day or two (PDI etc...) Dealer expects 3 more trucks today, so lets start listing them as you get them...

Type:
Color:
Location and what ever else you want to add...

Best of luck to all and congratulations.
I will post as soon as i get the keys

Dealer doc fees in IL

Just a heads up as we're only 2 1/2 weeks into the new year ...

The other 'fees' they typically hit you up for are strictly title application, plates (new or transfer) but most can give you a new plate (if needed) right away versus a temp paper one --- ahh progress, always comes at a price ...

Yes indeed. You are the second person to mention the bad news. The other was a friend, that knew I was waiting for the car... I hope my next post here will be my car in a day or 3. It's a good heads up for those not aware of the change...

Got mine on Saturday. 1st in Ohio. Never been 1st at anything, so it was pure joy. Got the metallic blue with black stripe Passion! Appropriate name. Will try to post picture soon.
