I've mine on order (hoping), ordered last week. He gave me a price as a one liner of $47,200 in an email which was around 5% below invoice.

All I got was the order sheet like everyone showed showing HB, FFP and EP. The dealer told me to sign that paper and send a copy of my driver's license along. He took the deposit but I'm having a hard time to have a written out of the door price and getting to the next step. Any suggestions? as this is the first time I'm buying a new vehicle and newbie to booking process.

Thanks

Just ask him what the OTD is.

That's what I've been asking for last 6 days now over emails, text but no luck. I did get one text back from him yesterday after I left him a voicemail that he'll be sending the information today but seems like it will be like another day as it's almost over.

Perhaps your dealer thinks the cart goes before the horse. Has the dealer signed the contract? If not, my suggestion is an inperson visit with both parties signing AFTER dealer provides OTD price. I never heard tell of being asked for copy of driver license except for a test drive.
I thought probably they need the information to prepare the paper work.

Lazy, but, the deal seems good. Up to you what you will put up with. You should call, ask for his manager and see what they say.

I can only speak to my own experiences. I had three deals and none of them required a DL.

I started with the manager 2 weeks ago and then he disappeared and then his assistant took over after a week saying the manager is off for 2 weeks but he's has pretty much the same style of working. Yes, the deal is good but I'll try for another day or 2 and then call it off and try another dealer and request a stop payment on my deposit.

Just sent an email, left a voicemail and text for one last time and will call my credit card company tomorrow to dispute the charges if I don't hear back until tomorrow morning.

Thank you all.

When can we expect to see 2 door rubicons in the showroom? I want to order but not until I see and then drive.

JLWF Dealer Guy question
Can you find out, within 150 miles of zip 28786, if any dealers in addition to Hayesville NC are getting Nacho, Mojito, Punk,n, or Hella Yella in the next 30 days. I would love to see them with my own eyes and report back with pics. I currently plan to go to Hayesville next week to see the Punk'n when it arrives. Thanks for all your work!
