denied!

Ok

So today (Tuesday) is the delivery day for my 300c.

So I arrange and early pick up, followed by an appointment at the wheel shop to get my 22’s. followed by an appointment at the body shop to fit my dub grill, followed by an appointment at the suspension shop to get my springs till fitted my air bags arrive, followed by an appointment at the tint shop to get tinted.

Guess what!?

I get a call from Albion Chrysler, apparently my car is “a day or two” away because “there are some cars in front of it at the docks that they wont move”

Great huh

i dont mean to sound like a **** but i paid my 70k on time, where the hell is my car?

rolin, if it is any consolation here is my story:

ordered 21 November 2004 - no ETA
indication of build around August 2005
indication of arrival into OZ mid October 2005
confirmation of arrival into country ~20 November 2005
PROBLEM - all HEMIs were withheld due to "issue" which needs replacement part from factory
took delivery 11 November 2005

Be patient - it will be worth it.

You're going to love the car..it's worth the wait. You paid 70,000 What? What is the monetary number in Australia? At first I saw the $70K US and thought..WHOA..he REALLY got ALL the Options!

So..what color did you buy..what all did you get on it? Good Luck

Chromer, the Aussie 300C is close to fully loaded as a standard offering here, ie. the only decisions you need to make are 1. colour & 2. Sunroof yes/no.

I know that in North America you can get a base 300C and start to buy the "packs" to load/option up your rides.

Ours come with Xenons, Premium sound, Rain sensing wipers, Tyre pressure monitoring, memory front seats/mirrors and sound system settings, park assist, 8 x air bags, etc. which I know you guys need to add (well some of those items) to your base 300C.
