What's the holdup?

Hey,
I've put money down on a new 2008 SS/TC about last thursday, and the dealership called me today and gave me an update that said GM won't give out any information besides they have stopped shipment on them because of:

"Undisclosed Quality Control Reasons"

and he has no idea when the cars will be here.

so does anyone know whats wrong or when the cars will be shipping or on hold til?

Sorry if this is a repost, but my dad isnt to happy and I just dont want him telling me to forget about it.

and again sorry if this is a repost, but I didnt year the latest news, I know some clip was to small or something before but I thought they fixed that.

Any news will be appreciated,
thanks!

...Unless your dad is paying for it, who cares if "he's not happy"?

This is the first I've heard about a shipping stoppage due to "Quality Issues"

hmmm =/

Tman58 got the car, and the turbo wasn't working off the lot. Dealership has had the car for three weeks trying to fix the issue, and he got fed up and walked away from the deal.

Well Im paying for it, but I dont want my dad to do what Tman58 did!

I mean I dont want to have my car and something go wrong with it, but I dont want to wait the whole summer just to have itt.

and thats what GM told my salesman, I think my dads calling later, he might get more out of him, hopefully.

there are a few hundred sitting in the repair lot at lordstown (local). definitely not the first "quality control issue" i've heard of. they are definitely still working the bugs out of these cars

why are you letting your dad say nvm about it if you paid for it... obviously you are not paying for it then because if you are your dad has no rights to say you cant have it or not.

ahhh well I do still live here, and I kinda have to listen to him, if he doesnt think this car is going to be right then I cant arguee with him.

but he just got off the phone with the guy and he asked me if I wanted to wait and I said yes so hes fine with that, and we are waiting for GM to ship these out.

and yes Im paying for this, Im not going to work for nothing.
