I _thought_ I ordered my new truck on Saturday. But the truck guy calls me back yesterday, saying it's a no-go. This car buying process is starting to tick me off. First I spend a month doing online research and emailing dealers so that I know exactly what I want and how much it's gonna cost me. I was _this_ close to ordering when I got sent to Louisiana. Alright, whatever. I figure, "Hey, that's just one more month that I can save up for the truck. No prob." When I get back, I drive down to SA to order it in person and give 'em my $500 deposit. At this point I figure it's a done deal. Then he calls and says, "Oh, they stopped taking orders for the '06 models on 3/8." When I was stuck in Louisiana. He's all, "But you can order an '07. It'll cost more and you won't get any rebates or incentives. And we don't have the pricing on the '07s yet, so you'd have to order it without an estimate." I'm like, "I'll think about it." Last night I do some e-legwork and I can't find any truck close to what I wanted, in the entire state. And I live in Texas; it's a big state. So this morning I grudgingly tell him, "Okay, let's get the '07 then." Then he informs me that they don't start building '07s till May, and it's a 4-6 week build period. Which means mid-June at the earliest. I had to put the phone down so he wouldn't hear me cursing.
And tonight I find out they cashed my deposit check on Monday, when I didn't even give them the go-ahead until today, Wednesday. These guys have some major huevos, pulling crap like this.
Suffice it to say, I won't be buying another new car for a LOOOOONG time.
P.S. Speaking of vehicles, I saw this car on the way back from LA. I think it's the kind Urkel drives. I didn't know they were real.
