Would GM reject if I ordered
same car at several dealerships?
how about if I ordered 2 different
cars at 2 dealerships?
maybe one be in wife’s name?

 

I had read it’s acceptable. Car dealerships don’t like it. There’s a name for it. In other words if you get your order in 1st through another dealer the other dealers have to give you the deposit back. I forget the name. All dealers do this what I’ve heard.

 

thanks

 

Capitalism supply and demand. The rules and laws have destroyed pure capitalism with a legal system that profits from controlling the businesses with corporate laws and benefits. It is the hallway to socialism.

 

Your order is with the individual dealer...not GM. GM would have no way of knowing how many orders you make nor do they care. Their only sale is to the dealer.

You might want to make sure the deposit you make is refundable and have that in writing wherever you order. Contrary to popular opinion, that is not always the case. The afore mentioned name for this multiple dealer order with intention of only buying one car is called being a *****!

Early on the 2020 "hold-a-spot" ordering with most large dealers (and others) asking for $1000 refundable deposit, many folks ordered from several dealers! Some of those that the dealer converted those to Event 1100 orders when GM allowed gave customers a sheet of paper! They felt great BUT meant nothing to GM! Those are "dealer orders" and they could place 2+ times the number of those they had allocation to order! The only thing GM considers an ORDER is when they open a "Build Order Window" and accept orders from dealers based on their allotted allocation for that window. Those they will build (or plan to build) and when completed and the dealer will pay them.

When the first dealer getting close to placing a "Build Order" asked for a non refundable deposit they paid that one told the other 2 or 3 they wanted their refundable deposit back. Don't feel too bad for a dealer as they that expect that. In fact, that is how some customers who were at Event Code 1100 were disappointed when GM ended the "2020 Build Orders" this past March. Heck dealers could place all the Event Code 1100 orders they wanted having nothing to do with what they had allocations to have built! All dealer's know some tire kickers will drop off once a non refundable deposit is requested!

 

Wow. This has nothing to do with the legal system. Whatever policies may or may not be applied in this situation aren't coming from any government statutes. It's actually pure capitalism and supply/demand dynamics in this case.

 

Huh???🙃

 

You can reserve your place in line for the new Ford Bronco for $100.

It would look cool sitting next to your new C8.

 

You can order all the cars you want, but once you place a firm order with the dealer, the dealer's on the hook for the car... so its up to the dealer to determine whether they want a non-refundable deposit and how much it is.... that's between the two of you.

It is also legal to propose to two different women, and then dump them both when a prettier woman comes along.... It is also legal for both of them to tell me to *&*(&^ myself if I ask for the ring back.

It's not a legal issue, simply a matter of your own sense of self-worth.

 

I like what I see in the new Bronco a lot! And this is coming from someone who's owned 5 Jeep Wranglers from 3 different generations.

 

Contract law.

 

Contract law hasn't significantly changed in 100s of years. Two private parties agree to terms, and local, state, or federal courts render a decision if one of the parties files a lawsuit accusing the other party of being in violation of the agreed upon terms.

 

 

“What if we spent less time shouting into the void and being washed over with shouting in return-and more time talking in rooms to those for whom our words are intended? If we have only so much attention to give, and only so much time on this earth, we might want to think about reinfusing our attention and our communication with the intention that both deserve.”

Hmm, as Will might reply:
To be, or not to be, that is the question

All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players

Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

We are such stuff As dreams are made on; and our little life Is rounded with a sleep

Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness

When we are born we cry that we are come To this great stage of fools

The time of life is short! To spend that shortness basely were too long

I love long life better than figs (my favorite!)
