If I waited months only to get to the dealer and have them tell me "Its yours if you pay 2, 3, 4, 5K+ more" I'd flip out and this forum would be one of the first places I'd vent.

With all due respect I don't think you've had much experience with the civil legal system if you think the solution is to "go to an attorney". It can takes months to get on a court calendar. As you are your probably aware any dealer that pulls these stunts has a law firm on retainer and they are experts on stall tactics, eventually if you're lucky they'll offer you a "settlement" to make you go away. They can delay a case for years if they have to. And you won't see the car of your dreams for a loooooooooong time - and thats not counting the time you'll wait again odering it from another dealer. Just hope there isn't a price increase by then, cause you aren't getting the early order price!

And if you want to go toe-to-toe with these dealers and their attorneys its going to cost you close to the amount they are telling you they'll release the car for. And they know that!

This forum has had an effect on THOSE MEMBERS WHO HAD A LEGITIMATE GRIPE with their dealership. You are correct, before any dealership is flamed in this forum we owe to the dealer to have all the facts documented for us to see, otherwise we will not support those members.
