Holy cow--I called the 1-888 number in the post at the bottom of the previous page...quick backstory--I'd had to not accept an Aug 28 delivery due to unmovable travel and was TRYING to be patient and not call incessantly. BUT I cracked and called that number last night. The guy on the phone said no VIN yet, and to expect end of October. No biggie but my original financing expires mid October. Oh well. So, TODAY I get a call from the delivery center I'm planning on and actually scheduled the appointment to pick up on the 30th! Logged in and all of a sudden not only is that appointment in my account but I also have a VIN. Woo-Hoo!!!! 94,xxx.
So, my time line has been this:
Non-prior owner
Reservation: 5/30/2017
Configured: 7/19/2018
Blue AWD, Non-P, black premium interior, aero wheels, no EAP (and no edits ever)
Delivery: Richmond, VA
Edit button gone/trade in and bank info requested 8/11/2018
Email on 8/14 for ‘car arriving on lot’ 8/25, and pick up 8/28.
Plan third party loan and trade in, but with a very low offer on my car changed to loan+ach for balance
Phone received phone call 8/15 to follow up the email--had to decline due to important/immovable travel
Never saw the VIN
got the end of September mass text message--called and no car
Called 10/8 and given estimate for the end of this month
Received call 10/9, and now updated MVPA with VIN and confirmed appointment.
I have no idea if my call actually stimulated something, the guy assured me my account was not in limbo, but at this point I don't care. I have a date and a VIN! I'm debating about rolling the dice and getting a one way rental with the idea that there will be no hiccups taking delivery (I live almost 3 hours away from the delivery center).
