Anyone with a reservation (2017 or older) still waiting in here?
I have been told I was getting the car twice now (one delivery appointment, the other was a text and website update without a delivery appointment) and website is back to showing end of September again. So much for getting the car faster if you switch to performance... I can't be the only one though right? I must be too far from Freemont being all the wa down in San Diego!
Terrible car buying experience so far. My original estimated delivery for RWD was May-June, then that got pushed back to June - Aug. Ordered AWD in July, when at the time of ordering the AWD and RWD estimates showed the same estimated timeframe for delivery on the website (I believe it was Aug-September according to my reservation). The AWD was supposed to be delivered before october, but mid September they were still trying to produce them for first day reservation holders (I'm May 2017). So I changed to performance to ensure I would get a car before the end of the year. If I was just told end of October (or whatever it will be) in the first place I wouldn't feel so bad, but when they keep telling you they have a car for you then there is nothing it's really frustrating.
I already sold both my cars in anticipation of the original delivery date a few weeks ago and I have a pre-approval that keeps hounding me for the vin. It will expire soon, and rates are going up again in October.
Luckily my dad let me borrow his 3500 truck, but it costs over $100 to fill up and I will be spending a car payment worth of gas every month ($600-700) until the car is delivered.
Meanwhile, I keep hearing stories of people with no reservations getting their cars in weeks.
Is there a shortage of white interiors? Shortage of Performance models? Why keep telling people they have located cars for them only to cancel delivery dates?
Oh well, no delivery date showing, and End Of September is obviously not going to happen either. I think I'll still have it within the next couple months since they already gave me deliveries, but it's obvious at this point that having a reservation doesn't mean much, if anything.
