My \'00 is in \"I\" Status!!!
My '00 GTS finally made it to I status. For those of you who order cars from dealers without a large allocation, you may expect similar time frames. If you purchase from a volume dealer, such as Woodhouse, Fitzgerald, Roanoke, etc., you'll get your cars quicker.
3/14/00 placed order with dealer
3/31/00 order placed in BX status
5/4/00 order placed in C status
5/31/00 order placed in D status
6/2/00 order placed in D1 status
10/13/00 order placed in I status!
Now, I'm not posting this to slam or blame anyone. My dealer (Timberline in Portland) was very up front about the time it would take to get my car. I realized going into this that it would be an exercise of my patience. I'm getting a fantastic price that no other dealer in the country was willing to match, and shipping would have been extra (sworn to secrecy, but you can call Russ Ficek at 503-234-0771 to get a similar deal). I just want those looking to order new cars to be prepared! I believe good things come to those who wait....I want a '00 model, I don't want ABS, I'm a happy camper!
P.S. I also ordered a Diesel pickup from Timberline. Order was placed 9/15, and the truck is in KZ status! It should arrive any day now! It's amazing how much $$$ you can save when you order vs buying off the showroom!
