just purchased mine

...now have to wait for it to get here.

I had to go to three dealerships to find one that even knew they were being made! The first dealer swore they had discontinued them in 07... Even when I rattled off the specs and differences. Crazy.

I cant wait...This will be my first brand new car.

I emailed him yeseterday asking if he had placed my order since tuesday is the day that dealership sends them in, and I told him I heard that 2008's were being shipped out and i haven't gotten a response yet. I paid a deposit...he can't just be dicking around like that especially if I have money in it and he knows I'm paying cash for the car. UUGGHH! It's not the waiting I mind, it's not knowing how long I have to wait exactly...or actually not knowing anything!

Actually I just checked my email and the guy said the 2009 isn't actually available to order until June...so I only have to wait 10 more days before he places my order. He sent me an email with 2 powerpoint attachments from GM, that I guess is an internal email that I'm not supposed to show anyone else. It gives ALL the specs of the car down to every little detail, it has pictures of the new redesigned gauges and whatnot. Looks worth the wait. So he'll let me know when he places the order and when it should be ready! Yay, it's a step in the right direction. I'd post the powerpoint...but I was told not to show it to anyone =[

I'll see if I can, he said it'll be about $400 more than the 2008, but that's only due to inflation.

Its possible you might still get an 08. I ordered one yesterday (5/22) and should know by tomorrow if they are gonna kick it out of the system or not. I'll post and let you know how it goes.

Just got the code from the dealer, its 3000, so they accepted my 08 order. Just for those of you that ordered in the last week or two and were worried you were gonna get stuck waiting for an 09.

Yeah, I was on pins and needles the last day or two after I read about your order getting dropped. No clue why mine went through. I mean, we are getting the GM employee discount and the dealership owner is a family friend, but that shouldn't affect the ordering in Ohio.

Either way, I will let you know if the code gets updated next week sometime. Surprised it went through to the 3000 code so quick, based upon the experiences some of the ppl on the forums have had.

Is the employee discount really that big of a deal? Usually you can haggle the salesman down a few grand, or he has you pay MSRP but charges no extra fee to get the Additional Accessories you select. . .

Not trying to talk down, just curious is all
