Like Batboy and I have said, they will not do much for you if you are "ordering" I could have bought the red one on their lot with more options than I got for the same money I'm sure (it's been on the lot since Nov.), but I wanted "white" and all the dealers I went to, searched out 1000 miles with no white ones to be found.

Trust me I thought about going red, but the wife said "no it's not what you want", which I agreed with since the whole idea is to have two white SS's parked in the garage.

None of you guys in here know what the **** you're talking about. He didnt get raped, scammed, screwed, etc. All you guys make me sick acting like you know what's going on in the car business. He got a beyond fair deal, but actually one of the sales guys was right. There are unforeseeable price increases on invoices by the time the car is ordered and finally built/shipped. That was not a scam.

You wanna know what makes everyone sick around here? Idiots like you. Dont jump down my throat and tell me I don't know what I am talking about here when I have personally bought and negotiated 6 cars in 7 years. I never once said he got robbed so if you're going to include me in you're blanket statement you can go pizz up a rope.

My comment is not directed specifically to OP but a general comment when people say I got this car for $xxxxx so it automatically became a good deal, because they might very well be screwed on finance and trade.

It sounded like you DO know alot about car business simply by your comments like:

"None of you guys in here know what the **** you're talking about"

and

"All you guys make me sick acting like you know what's going on in the car business."

I will keep that in mind.

Yeah, I would assume you're right, the dealership told me only the 09's came with it though. However they also thought the RDP could be ordered in Canada and that 17" steelies would clear my Brembo's along with it taking non synthetic...

I Ijust had a great time at the dealership this morning with my oil change (Had to remind them AGAIN, that it takes Mobil 1)....

Dealership Service Guy: We don't know a lot about these cars...

Me: Ok then, explain to me the part about why I should bring my car to GM? The only reason I brought it in here because I was under the impression you knew the fine details about these cars that other garages don't.

Dealership Service Guy: Sounds like you should just go to one of those garages then... rustles some papers and walks away.

What an A-Hole, his manager caught me in the parking lot and apologized etc and said they are very stressed etc.... Hey, we're all stressed these days... lol

On the SC's it says Mobil, on my TC it's just an oil cap. But even with my 06 SC, which had the mobil 1 cap, they would still make this mistake because the guy that fills out the work order is sitting behind a counter at the time...

I had some shop guy actually start to argue with me when I said he will never get 17 steelies over the brembo's.... Then when he found out he was wrong, he jumped up and said "Well, were both right, the 17" Steelies will fit with " A spacer". I just shook my head.... I later found out that this young guy was trying to find a reason to take my car for "A little spin" to make sure they were o.k ... should they have fit..... nice....

The only reason why I bring my car there is because I know the owner and he keeps my keys in HIS pocket if I have to leave my car there..... lol


Enough about dealer rants.... I could be here all day.... grats on the TC!

Well it's over....THE WAIT ANYWAY. I picked it up tonight Don't think I need to post pictures though, since I'm about the last to the plate. I'm sure you all know what a white one looks like by now.

This weekend will be a clear bra and window tinting and if I can fit it in, removing the muffler.
