Thanks to airtime for checking this car out for me:

Here is the latest update:

- Car was loaded on the truck on Thursday, 2/4 and has an estimated delivery date of 2/11.

- Dealer sent the title to their agent near one of the two DMV locations where they issue instant titles. The agent took it in and was told to come back next Tues. or Weds. because the DMV office was out of paper to print the titles.

 

I know this is killing you Caddy! The anxiety.

 

These are gonna be the hardest days of your life. Looks Like a beautiful car enjoy.........and post a lot of pics when you get it

 

I might not like waiting, but it's certainly cheaper than what happens when I get the car:

- Sales tax and plate fee
- 30K service
- Body shop to fix scratches and scrape

 

How much did you negotiate them to? if you dont mind

 

^^^^ The sales manager was only willing to drop the price about $500 to $25,500. I figured they had other interested parties and the dealer was planning to send the car to another AutoNation dealership if it didn't sell within 2-3 weeks.

 

ooo it's on its way

 

Finally. Or should i say this when you have the keys in your hand?

Anyways, congrats.

 

Congrats it's good to see after all of your research you finally got one!

 

Looks like you got a great deal if its mint like in the pictures.

 

Caddy, I am glad you finally found a car, and a handsome one at that. Congratulations!

 

Congrat, same color as mine. beautiful flint mica. Also same paint rub by Right back tire. Tell me how much body work cost if you get it done.

 

CONGRATS again Caddy, and YES it is a beautiful color but then again i am bias!

 

Further update:

- Transport company says delivery is delayed from Thursday to Sunday due to weather.

- Dealer continues to say that repeated visits to the State of Washington DMV office have not succeeded because the office keeps running out of titles. Uh, huh. They said they hope to have a title to send me early next week. Well, due to the Presidents Day holiday, we know that won't be until later next week. Since that will be more than 15 days after the sale date, the State of Michigan may charge me a fine due to the delay. (I doubt they will believe a shaggy dog story about Washington running out of titles.) I told the dealer I need a title by this weekend.

(Update - I called the license / title office and the shaggy dog story is true. They ran out of titles. The new titles were a different format. They had to change the programming of the printers, and that ran into problems.)

 

It's been more than 10 business days since I got my LS and I still haven't received my title. Washington state appears to have some serious issues now. At least my temporary tabs and registration are good until the middle of March...
