Default Attention Dealers placing orders w/ available allocation

Please post or PM me if you are a dealer with available allocation and are accepting orders.. I have 4 deposits in w/ different dealers, and whoever can get me ordered asap will get my order.

Im sure there are other members here who are in a similar situation, so feel free to post!

Thanks!

I guess your 9 other posts about this haven't been enough...

This is the first post that I am trying to give business to dealers, my other posts were directed to another dealer regarding ordering time frame.

Why would any additional Dealer respond when you freely admit you already have deposits in place with 4 other dealers ???

I may be mistaken, but I'm thinking CF Dealers are seeking committed buyers, not free lance depositors.

Best of luck regardless . . . .

If you have your deposit with one of the dealers on this Forum then you are in good hands.

If a dealer reads your post, I doubt you will get a call. Pick one good dealer and stay with them.

Seems I remember someone making a new topic not to long ago asking why dealers want $$$$$$ for deposits.

Here you have a clear example of why. If everyone got on the lists of four different dealers, then the demand would be inflated 400% over actual demand. The dealer's lists would fill up, and dealers would be turning away serious buyers because their allocations would be all spoken for.

The solution is simple......whatever list a dealer has, if he has a deposit or not........ when he gets the green light to order all he needs to do is go down the list......start calling ..... say time to commit and move on. You got 400 people on a list and 10 cars allocated, within 2 days I can lock down buyers.

Me things dealers are sitting on a lot of money at $1 to $2.5K a car if they have a significant allocation. Using potential owners cash now just to keep a list. But it's the game established and we're playing.

I posted in another thread, you want to make multiple deposits go ahead but tell each dealer that you have made multiple deposits.

Great, congrats.
Make sure to tell the salesman you work with how much your cars are worth, what your total net worth is and be sure to wear your shirt with the big "S" on the front.

I hope those deposits are NON refundable for people who like to play games

What if half of those 400 people actually want a new C7? Those 200 people are not going to be happy with the dealer taking the names of 400 people and only having 10 allocations.

Have you ever been bumped off a flight because the airline oversold their seats? Where you a happy camper about it?

The overwhelming majority of the CF Members, those you have so thoroughly ridiculed and dismissed, as a result don't give a damm what you order, nor when . . . . .

Since your order is being placed with a 'non-advertiser' we are delighted to know your dealer is not a CF supporting vendor. Perhaps you can follow that lead and be a non-poster . . . . .

I have a 32 year old "semi-retired" friend as well... When he says "semi-retired", he means he is a part time bartender at a local restaurant. Either way, cool story.. Bro.
