I'm getting closer!

I got confirmation that my car has been completed. Now I just have to wait for it to make its' trip accross the ocean. The dealer is telling me that it will take about a month. I feel much better, I'm begining to see light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm supposed to have mine by next weekend. I can't wait - even though there is a tunnel on my route home from work.

Did they give you a good discount? When I purchased mine, they offered a $1500 discount (if I remember correctly) but I lived in DC and could not get to their location.

Good luck with the new car.

Itcrashed,

If I remember correctly it took about 6 weeks from the build date. It was pretty excrutiating, but worth it!

Stephensong,

Yes they did give me a pretty great deal. Like I said they were very easy to deal with and I would recommend them to anyone looking. I even drove 150 miles to get it there.

I just love the Navi system, it is awsome. The voice command system is very cool too. My son thinks that it is very cool that I talk to the car and it talks back. He says that the car is magic, and I tend to agree with him!
