My wagon delivery story
I thought I would share my story....
Back in October I ordered a wagon at the local dealership. MSRP. may be delivery in April.

Long wait like many on the forum with no updates and finally got a message that delivery date uncertain. Didn't like the situation and 1 week ago
I 'worked' the phone old fashion till I found a guy in the middle of USA who was willing to find me a car with my options, give me a decent discount, gave me acceptable trade in allowance.
The guy located the car somewhere south, moved it to his dealership 1000 miles north, delivered car next day to my driveway (another 600 miles) and picked up my car.

All transaction took 1 week and I'm proud owner of this beauty:


need to come with name for my new car...

Car name? The Baron.

I enjoyed your story. A good "old fashioned" phone line accomplished more than the Internet.

Great story, not what I was expecting to read.
