Dissapointed newbie here

[marktaraw]

OKay, here's the deal. I have been waiting patiently since August 2004. My dealer told me to come in and order in mid February. I ordered on February 21st. I decided to get an update on my fully loaded ride.

I knew I was in trouble when the sales manager returned my phone call. They are past their allotmant and I am out of luck unless 4 others ahead of me cancel their orders. Funny how they can keep my deposit and not tell me of what happened.

I feel sick. He says I may have to wait for the build date in 2006 or 2007. Anyone have a gun?

Maybe I'll go back to my original thought of the cl 55 amg - but that car costs $80,000 MORE.

Kill me, kill me now!

Call around to other dealers, I know several dealers have posted here. I'm sure from what I've been reading that one can be had for around MSRP. If you are willing to have one shipped or willing to drive it home from another state than your chances are greater in locating one. Good Luck, I hope it works out for you.

many posters claim to have gotten an 06 at msrp...I beleive them, and you might still be able to, but my guess is most dealers are now marking up. How much..probably negotiable. You should shop around, but if you can't find one at msrp, I know a dealer who has an allocated (scheduled for april build, late april delivery) silver one, loaded...

I don't think the 06s are priced yet either..so if you want an 05, there is a silver, loaded one on e-bay..(still bid at close to msrp)

I feel your pain ...

I was going around to the dealers in Sept last year, trying to get lined up ... they didn't even know what an SRT8 was .... it was funny ....

I got my order in on January 11th for an 05 .... it got cancelled, had another order get created for an 06 ... well, it got cancelled too ...

I was extremely unhappy ....

I've been hunting around for the last couple of weeks for one ....

I finally found one at a dealer, who was willing to sell for a very fair price, I picked it up for MSRP. The only problem, I'm flying there to go pick it up ... and driving it back ...... (1,200) miles ... I'll probably be one of the guys with the highest mileage one out there ......


I pick it up this Friday ......

Look around, you can get lucky too ....

Best of luck!
