Put down the deposit to order a 6MT Sedan from my local dealer and I'm told I'll see it around December time... I can't wait!

Hopefully the incentives are still good and I can snag a good deal on it at that time... getting way ahead of myself here but already thinking Clearbra, tint and grille painting!

 

Congrats! Don't forget to post pix the moment she arrives!

 

damn... why so long?

 

Dealer gave me an estimate of about 45-90 days, said early December would be a safe bet though. I'd be more than happy to take delivery earlier

 

So you're getting the refreshed 2010 model..... by any chance did the dealer have pics of the updates....

 

Sadly no, I opted for a 2009 model because I wanted to save some cash and to get in on the new vehicle tax rebate, even if its not much.

The dealer did give me the option to order a 2010 though. He mentioned that it wouldn't be placed until November and the very earliest he could get them in would be sometime in January. Of course I tried to mine whatever details I could from him on how the car would be changing, but he just gave me the standard 'I have no idea' response.

 

You haven't already locked in a price, or are you just hoping to add to an already good deal?
I know when I dropped my deposit, the price was agreed upon and set in stone. I just had to wait close to three months for it to arrive.

It's a really tough wait too. I know what you're going through...
It's all worth it when it finaly arrives though. Congrats!

 

No price locked in, I thought I would have when I went in to order but he basically said they just needed a deposit put down so they can go ahead and order the car in someone's name. I was told that the numbers talk will happen after the car arrives, and supposedly if things aren't going in my favor I can walk and have my deposit returned.

We'll see when it actually gets here I guess. I'll just be trolling around the MyG37 and G35Driver forums in the mean time.

Still wondering if I should have opted for Nav...

 

I just ordered a 2009 as well. I negotiated based on invoice price plus all available incentives when I take delivery.

 

Congrats on the car! Allow me to add some input. Sounds to me you should of negotiated price before the deposit was made. If we order a car, which is very rare, it will take anywhere was 45-90 days. In most cases, we perform dealer trades which is much fast (no longer than 2 weeks). We also negotiate price before the deposit is made. Without negotiating price before the deposit, it gives the dealer the upper hand in the process. If I were you, I would contact the dealer asap and come to a price. They should honor whatever deals were being offered when you placed your order. What all did you get on the car? I can help give you a great ballpark number.

 

Indy I have a side question for you (don't mean to hijack thread!)

I'm taking delivery tomorrow on a 2009 37x coupe with prem, navi, spoiler and net/mat and I've negotiated the following incentives:

$3000 cash
$500 cash
$1500 sell-me-down cash (they want to give me $750 of the sell me down instead of $1500 but I'm trying to get the $1500)

They're also throwing in six oil changes as part of the deal.

The original negotiated price was $42,450 before any rebates. So I'm basically going out the door with $750 of the sell-me-down at $38,200 plus tax and tags. If I continue to hold firm on the $1500 I'd be out the door at $37450. Should I hold out for a lower price? I realize the $42450 was a bit high now but I'm wondering how much more I should ask for in the last minute.

Thanks!
