The truck arrived, but.......


Recommended Posts

Well after two months the big day finally arrived, dealer called and informed me that the truck was in. I had ordered the SLT with prefered package, premium package, bucket seats, and trailer brake controller. Jumped in the old 2004 Sierra and headed to the dealership. There she was, just as beautiful as I had imagined. I started a circle check to make sure everything was in order and I felt myself falling in love again. Then I opened the door, the new smell hit me, wow. I sat down and started looking around, feeeling great when I noticed I was sitting on a bench seat. WTF. Then I thought I must have been looking at the wrong truck. Salesman came out and I asked about the truck, he said yes indeed that was my truck. Wrong answer. We got into it over the order, I refused to take it, so the sales manager got involved. They are ordering another truck, I still get all my discounts and they will sweeten the pot but............................eight more weeks.

That's sucks.. but you did the right thing. Some people cave in when something is wrong because they are so pumped up.. and the dealer generally sweetens the pot some to make you feel better and take the wrong truck. Believe me that dealer wanted that truck gone today. Reminds me of this - we have all seen it -

Have you looked at other dealers or done an area search on the GM Canada website. To me what you ordered is the way 90 of the trucks on the lot are equipped like! A loaded SLT! I know you are in Ontario but out west here in Alberta I could find you a truck in 20 minutes.

Dealer searched Ontario and Quebec, couldn't find anything.

I ordered: Crew cab, SLT in Sonoma Red, standard box, black leather bucket seats, prefered package, premium package & trailer brake controller

You just quoted my truck exactly. Except mine is shortbox and the only other option is cooled seats. But the Sonoma Red is awesome. My wife still thinks it is old man farmer truck color though :|

I hear the part about the Sonoma Red colour being an "old man" thing myself. That's why I didn't get it. lol

It has grown on me. When it is clean it looks super good. It was either that or iridium metallic. But then I would have lost Bose system and trailer brake controller...

you may have to have the search for chev and gm unless you are firm on one or the other. personally i wanted the sierra in grey and last min they managed to find one on their other lot, only thing it didnt have was the center console that i wanted but its not a deal breaker, ill end up putting it in eventually.

 

Our dealer in Aurora ont is completely sold out of anything leather in a k2000.

addison dealer in mississauga has a couple with leather, one is a silver highcountry demo that is still being used but can be bought t any time, ide be surprised if its over 5km on it.

if you want a contact for a salesman there send me a pm, i know them all very well, just bought my 3rd vehicle from them in 10 yrs and had another i bought elsewhere but had serviced there.
