Our 550 has arrived!

Five days ahead of schedule! But I'm on call this weekend, so we can't get over to Winston until Monday...ouchie!

By the way, the dealer is sticking by his word on pricing, even though demand is sky-high. From what I hear, there are no more deep discounts in this part of the country. Good for resale, hopefully, when the time comes.

Good for you Raj! And, it's great to know that the incredible deal you negotiated will still be honored. It's good to have a dealer that stands by their word.

I know how you feel about not being able to get your vehicle right away. I've been biting my nails here this week, because on Sunday I leave for a business trip that has me on the road for 4 weeks. But, I just got some good news too and hopefully it is accurate.

You better believe it! Looking forward to seeing what it can do up and down the mountains and around the desert.

Let us know when you pick yours up!

Congrats Raj! I've also ordered from the same dealer. Weekly emails show that things are still on schedule. Would love to hear how it goes when you go pick up. Hubby will either fly up/drive down or we'll have it shipped to Florida.

Congatulations!!! We'll be seeing a lot of pix of these beasts in the next few days as everyone (but ME) takes delivery.
