What is up with dealerships.

[DKiesewetter]

First the truck I ordered was in Indiana, scheduled to be delivered at the Westfield TX lot on the 29th of February. Thenthey SAY it was left on the train down to Laredo... RIGHT!!!



Then they told me it was being turned around scheduled delivery date 3/04 to Westfield and 3/8 to my door. 3/7 to the dealership if i wanted to drive to pick it up.



It is NOW being loaded onto a train from Laredo to Westfield lot... scheduled train delivery date... the 10th... WTF? That's 6 days to go 400 miles?



What are the odds they have sold my truck at least once and are bringing up a new truck from Mexico?



I am boiling mad. 2 weeks delivery time turned into at least 4.

sounds to me like a pretty good chance... ALTHOUGH, it took my friends truck 3 days to go from a rail car to a lot 5miles away, they move SLOOWWWW

Sounds like the dealer is as much a bystander as you are. Any RR guys out there who might shed some light on why trains don't always go from points A to B? Anybody wonder why there are so many trucks on the road?

Don't get mad- get even! tell them you want something for your troubles, like a few FREE oil changes. Any reputable dealership doesn't want ANY unhappy customers. A few free oil changes is a cheap( to them ) way to keep you happy (or less grumpy).
