My dealer doesn't submit their inventory order for another 2 weeks. They said it would be 6 weeks after that. So I guess I am looking at about 2 months.
I am going to sign the buyers agreement today. The GM was trying to help me with something. I am buying the car for my wife. I want the placard to say it was built for her, not me. But... there is a small problem. Who's ever name is on the buyers order is who's name goes on the placard. If the customer who orders the car isn't the person who buys the car, the dealership get some type of penalty. He said if they don't have an 85% success rate on custom orders, they could loss the privilege to do custom orders.
I can't afford to buy the car cash. Whoever has there name on the buyer order has to pay for it, which means financing. My wife doesn't work due to disability and her credit is pretty jacked up from health care bills. The loan can't be in her name and neither can the buyers order.
So, the GM is spending some time last night and today trying to figure out a way of having it say it was built for Lindsay, paid for buy me, and they not get penalized. I am going to head down there around 2 PM to see what headway they made and sign the order. Hopefully he has good news for me.
I know its a silly sentimental thing, but its important to her. Because she hasn't worked in so long, she feels like everything is mine and she doesn't own anything. I try to tell her that regardless of where the money comes from, everything we have is "ours", but she just doesn't follow that line of thinking. I hope this gesture helps her feel a little better about it.
