Truck built today!

[Jacksfan98]

My new truck was built today, 6.2L Crew Cab 4x4 AT Premium. The dealer has a VIN and wants to make the sale before the end of the month even though the truck has not arrived. It will arrive in approximately two weeks. I am worried if I sign on the dotted line I will miss out on better rebates in May. What are your thoughts? Should I take the chance and hope for better rebates in May or take the April rebates?

I don't believe I would sign any paperwork until delivery. That's just me though.....

I'm with the guy above. I wouldn't sign jack squat until I had a chance to inspect for damage and a test drive to make sure there are no noises/shakes or vibrations.

Signing a deal is different form signing to accept delivery on the contract.

If you like the deal that is offered --- "one in the hand is worth 2 in the bush".

could be worse rebates in may, who knows. When I bought my 15 I wanted to get the feb rebates but the truck didn't come till march 7th, well I got anothe 750. I would just make sure you lock in the price before rebates.

 

I was told the rebates are when the truck arrives and my dealer couldn't do what yours is doing who knows

Try not to reneg.

 

 

Sounds like all is going well. Try not to worry yourself. You 'were' happy, so try not to let a few hundred bucks on 'current offers' sour the great business transaction you have pending.

I did it as well, I signed the paperwork on Feb 29th, picked up the truck on March 9th and got another 750 as well. In the end as long as your happy then do it.

I am a salesman at a dealership. Technically, you dont need to SIGN any paperwork, just get insurance on the vehicle so they have proof for GM that it was delivered. Then when it comes in, if you dont like it, you are none for the worse.

 

Get insurance put on the car, send them that paperwork, then call insurance back and tell them your not taking the car. That way, the dealer has paperwork that shows you have current insurance, even though you really dont.

 

We do this all the time, no biggie.

Sounds like fraud.

This is true

[Jacksfan98]

I will sign the deal tomorrow. Since I held the upper hand in negotiations I was able to get the dealer to give me the additional May rebates. They must really need the sale in April. Thanks for all your help. I will post pics when the truck comes in.

[mjoekingz28]

Boo.

 

"Upperhand"

I know someone who did this and when the (GMC K2500) truck came in it was not the color he ordered, red, it was white. Had a big argument with the dealer as they thought it was no big deal but this guy always has red trucks. They had screwed up, 2 orders went in same day and they switched the colors. One was a gas and the one he ordered a red diesel, was white. He then ordered another truck from a different dealer.

I really hope I don't have this issue. It's only been two week since I ordered my truck and would be pissed if they messed it up. Which I could see happen, I should have gone to a different dealer!
