By the way, I agree with you. Current customers should have been given first refusal. THe pre-specced cars coming out to oz will be offered to present deposit paying customers BEFORE being sold off the lot. Much more professional approach. The demo's I guess will be sold about 3 or 4 months down the track.....not sure I would want one though.

Cheers

& Happy mothers day.........bit late, but anyway

I think that checking with customers on a waiting list in situations like this can be difficult, specially when the list gets close to a 1k like in some major metro areas in the US. Of course with the right software it can be done, but most dealers in the US seem to be operating out of folders

On the other hand if I'd been waiting for a year and a pre-specced car arrived that matched my order and it was sold to a walk in at MSRP, then I'd go nuts.

It sucks waiting, doesn't it.
