Nor cal 1m's?

Rxkenny · 03-17-2011, 04:05 AM

So my dealer today tells me 0 allocations for the dealership in Marin--but maybe in a few months....and there are only 50 coming for all of california.....SF has 1st come first serve only.....no waiting list--has anyone had any progress other than a dealer holding your deposit in northern cal??? Right now it looks like a long wait for my 1m ......

In January, I was told by SF they would be getting three cars, they are taking no orders and the cars would be marked up substantially over MSRP. I ended up placing an order in San Mateo. There's a couple of orders in front of me and behind me, all without production numbers as of a week ago. You may want to keep checking with Santa Clara, Mountain View, Berkeley and Concord, perhaps even Sacramento.

What do you mean 1st come 1st serve? That means you cant spec the car and have to buy what they spec.

Also, thats going to cause an "IPAD2" type of line and people camping outside the doors.

At some dealers, when they get an allocation, they call all the people on the list and whoever gets there with the money first, gets the slot, hence "1st come. 1st serve"

I know a dealer claiming they have 2 allocations but wont take a deposit. They said whoever gets here when the car arrives gets it.

Lol---sf pretty much said they will have 1 of each color only with all options on em- but sleeping in the streets in line for 5 days paying 5k over msrp ain't gonna be me.... As bad as I want this car- I'll try and wait out the rush first and try some other dealerships..
