Any luck getting a return call?

Billy

Good luck. Hope you hear something. 🤞🏻

Billy

Nope. Black out. I’m sure from his angle he said he’d let me know. And I have to assume there’s nothing to ‘let me know.’ But I don’t pester the guy and you’d think customer service would mean something. Maybe this will be bang bang, i.e. they get a vin and a few days later the car is here. Let us know when you learn anything and I’ll post something/anything once I have it.

Update Kids...Stopped by the dealer today. Sales guy claims he didn’t get my texts or phone message. Ok. Moving on. I was originally told a build date of July 14 but the guy who manages all the purchases and moves all the cars around showed me their sheet where my car had a build date of July 15-19. So it shifted I guess, but the take away based on my car and others on this thread, is that there is a ‘build’ window for a purchased vehicle. For regular production the build date doesn’t matter as much since cars being built aren’t sold. Mine was the only name on the sheet, attached to a car. All the other cars are ones they in the que for but he said Acura is not allowing any more ‘pre-sales’ for purchases. I guess this relates to the car’s popularity and not wanting to frustrate potential buyers—can’t know for sure. Since my window showed the car should have been built no later than yesterday, the dealership expects a VIN possibly as early as tomorrow but surely by Wednesday. Then the roulette of delivery begins. Bottom line—things appear to be on track. I’ll post again when I have a VIN.

romer,

Congratulations on the progress you have made! Still no word from my dealer, will ping them again next week if I haven’t heard anything.

Billy

that is what our dealer said as well. We put money down 4 weeks ago and still no car.

My dealer tried to swap and/or trade but wasn’t successful, then they checked the Acura system somehow and saw one slated for build on July 14 (since changed a bit). They were able to claim it on a “pre-sale” with my name on it. If they had to order one, that is a two month minimum and likely more. A friend just ordered an Advance from another dealer and was told two months. My dealer says ordering one and getting it in two months is unlikely. By the way, the dealer wanted me to buy from them as I’ve always purchased from a competitor. We settled the terms of the deal, signed an agreement, and shook hands. They asked if I could put something down but I hadn’t planned to buy that day and didn’t have my checkbook. So they told me not to worry about. Never had that happen before.

We put a deposit down and agreed to a trade. I got a 7/15 build date (later changed to 7/11-15) but I haven’t heard anything since earlier this week. With romer’s results the car may have just been built.

Billy

while the wife is itchy for the car without Acura waiving final payments she still has 2 payments left, so we are not in a huge rush.

Wow I would think with a deposit that early that you would have had a vehicle within the first month. Does the dealer have a ton of ‘18s on the lot and not getting any ‘19s?

I hope you get good news soon.

You should be able to get a ViN from the dealer when it leaves the factory.

Congratulations!

Building a car on the Acura site I’ve found you can check local inventory and that is much more accurate than the dealers site.

I am waiting on the Modern Steel Metallic.

Billy

I checked this after your auggestion. It is a little harder, but does seem to be more accurate. My car is listed as “in transit” on the Acura site.

Thanks for the heads up.

Billy

In my area, none of the dealers have an Advance in stock. You can find Techs and Base models, and that’s it..
