Now I'm wondering if my push-back was somehow tied to that.. we'll see if my EDD window moves up in time once the new trade-in offer comes in.
PK, I hope you're seeking therapy. Not only do I feel your pain, I sympathize with seeing pictures of cars zooming through Washington on their way to Canada. Of course one wonders if some sort of action on our part, causes things to change things on their part. My 2nd trade-in offer dropped $1k so I sold my old car to a local dealer, since it'll just be "a few days...". Ha! After I clicked "I don't have a trade-in", my EDD improved. Related? I think not.
Lately, the most effective strategy has been to put your account on hold, then you get a VIN the day you take it off.
