I have a TPW of 9/14. Others that have that same (or a day or so apart) are saying they got their VIN number. How does this happen. My dealer is saying they can't do an invoice until they have a VIN. I am trying to get that ASAP as my credit union is saying they need a buyers order for the already approved loan. I am trying to make sure I lock in the interest rate which is 1.89% There is talk of a FED rate increase soon??

Try calling one of the California Psychic's! No, seriously you should be able to get the Vin# through CHAT several days before the build date. Ever wonder why all of those Psychic's aren't millionaires?

I have a TPW of 9/14 too and I'm doing the buyers tour. The museum gave me the VIN already so I can only assume that the VIN's are available for 9/14. Mine is scheduled for 9/11. If you have a scheduled build date then I would assume that your VIN should be available. I know that I was on the Chat when I got an email from the museum. The Chat did not have the current info as the museum email was more accurate. Hope this helps.

I found a similar situation where my dealer had the car at 3300 and chat had it at 3000, so I guess they don't have the latest info?

Mine is 9/14 as well and chat just told me 5 min ago that a VIN isn't available until the car is produced so I don't think they have a clue. I was able to lock in a loan last week at Chase for 1.75 without a VIN. Just told them roughly what I needed and was approved the next day so you should be able to get a loan without it.

Yeah, I have the loan all set, but "if" rates changed in the mean time do I pay the rate that it is when the car gets delivered OR do I pay the rate when I did the approved loan?

Streetrod782

You should be locked in for 30 days. Rates won't go up anytime soon either.

I have a TPW of 9-7-15. Chat tells me I'm at 3400 but has no VIN or production date.

Shane from NCM called me up and gave me my VIN# before my dealer knew what it was. I had it a full week before the car was built. I don't know if it is because NCM gets some special access. My dealer told me that I wouldn't get the VIN# until the day the car was made. Obviously it was incorrect information.

Streetrod782 you quoted a loan rate of 1.75% and 2HD's2vettes you quoted a rate of 1.89%. What is the length of time of your loans?

2HD's2vettes

36 months, I am toying with the idea of 75 months @2.89. We are putting about 20k down. Actually we were going to pay cash with the money from the sale of our C6 + cash, but we looked at the only thing we have financed which is a 30 ft. center console boat that was at 5.99% and a 54k balance, it just made more sense to pay that off and take the lower interest and some tax advantages on the new car. We always pay things off early, or at least in the past we have been able to do that.

BTW redagain - the car is coming from Stingray in Plant City.
