Just a heads up I was on the Longo waitlist when I negotiated with DCH and they claimed that dealers who sell at MSRP will offer you car to other people and say “your vehicle is available but others agreed to pay x amount do you want to match it or keep waiting?”. I’m not saying this is what Longo will do but that’s how they’ll try to combat that tactic while negotiating. It seemed like telling them I preordered a tesla too helped with negotiations a little more than the Longo thing.
Ya many of us have heard that before as well. Its a pretty sad tactic. But typical of some shady salesmanship. I have heard Longo sells at MSRP and has done so for years. In fact I spoke to a couple salespeople there and they both confirmed that to me, Same with John Elway...
As for my deal, i have my on a WRITTEN and SIGNED Sales Order. I in fact had them fix it three times, no problems, because we had to work a small loan into the deal and the Bank had to have that reflected on the correct line. Quick and Easy. Just wish I could have closed on the deal before 6/23 (i could have then have been one of those people that would have a loner right now, even though the dealership doesn't physically have the car either). I was able to get my bank to close on my loan because i was able to provide this Sales Order, otherwise my deal would have timed out and i would have had to start over, likely getting a higher interest rate and another HARD inquiry on my credit).
Now, i'm trying to be patient, while we wait. I do really hope it hits the dealership before 9/30... Although, if i find out its on the train here, i might talk the dealership into finalizing the deal so i can have that DATE STAMP on the sales order!
