Sorry for lack of background. On my phone and takes a while to minimize auto-correct.
Basically the start process was actually pretty good. The usual dealer bits but nothing red flag. Originally trading in my truck was to be at time of car delivery.
Manager came down and said the contact needed to be done, which would require truck trade earlier. This seemed off, but to guarantee the car I could see it. But it also put the family down a vehicle. Originally they could have delivered almost to May, didn't care. Now the earlier the better.
We were told car en route from the port, to arrive within a week or two (this was a week ago). They said within a couple days they would know exactly when. Now after a week they're telling me they don't know where it is. Well, I might now. That raised a red flag. It should be easy for them to know if one of their cars was delivered to the wrong place. If it's a transfer, why didn't they say it was a transfer?
So now we're down a car, with either a clueless dealer (best case) or a questionable one. Still no word on when it'll be here, with evidence it might never be if the other dealer sells it.
It might be premature, but this with some other questionable things in the last few days raises a flag. It might be nothing. But I prefer to be ready if necessary for the alternative.
At the moment there are two others I know of I could probably get similar deals on, if released from contract if they don't have the car. But in that case the clock is ticking.
I don't plan to 'go after' them unless they try to keep me in a contract with no car to deliver. And the contract specifically mentions that car by VIN, so if they try to sub another it'll be a chance to revisit as the first one will be void. Otherwise it should be breach of contract they also signed as they're not delivering the promised product as signed.
The truck part comes in if the contract cancels due it being traded in, as mentioned.
This was posted as a 'what if' so sorry if folks think I'm looking to duck out. I'm just trying to keep an eye out of things end up going south. I've never had these kinds of issues from a dealer before, just the usual sales tactics.
