TL just arrived at the dealer!

TL arrived a few days earlier than it should have. Wasn't the same VIN the dealer gave me, but he got an extra one with the same options in earlier, so it has my name on it. I pick it up Monday!

Damn you weekend.

It takes 3-4 hours to do it right. Wax, install mud flaps, program xm and navi.
I could have picked it up at 9 AM tomorrow but my sister's graduation is at 11 AM. Your dealer is full of crap!

He has to do some more financing and stuff, idk what he is doing. They do have to put the spoiler and BSMs on though.

Spoliler and bsm should take an hour at most. It sounds like he is stalling on your fin. My dealer told me rates are going up May 1st. He is back dating my contract to today.

Well there has to be some kind of explaination. We have a contract on the rate, we aren't going to get screwed on that.

Really? And I thought I had to wait BECAUSE I was a pest. Nice perspective though, perhaps if I call MORE I will get it faster.

Well here is the latest info;

They just lowered the rates from 3.9% to 2.9%. This doesn't have anything to do with the car taking a while, I think, but it is good for us. I asked my father why it is going to take over the weekend and he told me they don't prep on the weekend, which I thought sounded odd, but w/e. Maybe since the rates changed they need to redo the paperwork or something.

Yeah I was just talking about my dealer. Maybe they are lazy/understaffed? I highly doubt the latter only because its Rallye.
