Well this sucks

[Warlock1]

I have a very specific truck picked out and my local dealer found one 300 miles away. Dropped a deposit on it Monday night and It was supposed to be delivered to me on Friday. Dealer called me today and said that it was put into demo service so I cant have that truck and they cant locate another.

Dammit I was looking forward to driving it this weekend.

Well, find another a buy it. They're not limited in production.

Your right, their limited in specific availability. I went to 3 dealerships all of which said this truck is no where to be found. Finally the 4th one said they found one 6 hours away.

At this point I'm just going to have to order it and wait for 12 weeks.

Just out of curiousity, what are the options you are looking for?

It will all work out in the end, hang in their!

Unless they have driven the wheels off it, I have never seen a dealership not sell a demo if someone wants it bad enough. May even get a better deal.

I would say that sounds fishy. I would do a search on the internet for those specific options in a 300 mile radius and find the dealer that has it. As stated before I can't believe a dealer wont sell a demo truck. Id buy it direct from that dealer. Your dealer just didn't want to trade for it and drive 600 miles. I have had the same thing happen only my story always is "Oh they just sold it".

yes back in august when I was truck shopping I was looking to get a 2500 and a local dealer located one exactly like I wanted at another dealer. I googled up the vin and found it on the dealer website and for 5000$ less. local dealer was hoping to hose me down as a finder's fee I guess. I decided against a 2500 tho and bought my Laramie 1500

That seems fishy. They can put any truck into loaner service. There number 1 job is to make money, which means selling cars.
I would be mad! And I would work with another dealer.

I would just order exactly what you want... then they cant dictate it... you`ll be much happier.
And it will be 12 weeks with no money spent, no wasted time trying to find what will be closest to what you want.
I`ve done it both ways, pick of the litter, or custom order the exact truck i wanted. Ordering always turned out better for me.

Hmmmmmmm, this one has this, that one has that, but neither has exactly what i want all in one truck.... order it and be done with it.

EXACTLY...!!! ALL dealers are snakes!!!

 

[RammerHarder]

I`ve always found (in MY case), that by ordering the specific truck i wanted, i wasnt buying something i didnt need.

A dealer makes way more $$ in service than selling cars.

When finding my 2500, we had dealers make excuse or just flat out say they didn’t want to trade.

Dealers are basically dishonest, all dealers, all brands. Shopping round saved me 15K and only caused me to drive 40 miles to get what I wanted. With our modern internet capabilities there is no reason to "trust" any dealer on anything.

Word.
I can't find - and can't even order! - because they don't even make - a Quad cab with the six foot bad with the RamBox with a 12 inch screen. ********!

So yeah, production IS a problem, even tho they are working 6x10-hr and making 1,000 per day, production IS a freaking problem because they don't put the 12 inch in the same one that they put the quad on that they put the 6' in that they put the rambox on....
