Just want to see what you guys think. Anyway, ordered my car back in 3/13, still waiting for the car (currently awaiting transport) got home today and got a letter from the dealer telling me the person I dealt with is no longer with the company and another internet manager will assist me on the order. I am just starting to worry, since the price I negotiated with the original CA is around 800 over invoice, I am afraid that now the person is no longer there they're going to try and change the price on me (even though I left a $500 deposit already) What do you guys think? I emailed the new CA just now, hopefully I'll hear back from him. Man, all this waiting I sure hope I won't get burn like that..

P.S. This is the third person I am dealing with, since the original CA got fired a day after we agreed on the price.

When we put down a deposit, we also signed a form that had the price on it. Did you do the same? If so you should have a contract - consideration (ie money) was given.

Your past SA was an agent of the company authorized to act for the company, so the mere fact that he left doesn't change anything.

However, I am not a lawyer - I just stayed at an Holiday Inn Express. Maybe some real sharks out there might have a better answer.

If you have purchase contract that shows the price they agreed on then you have nothing to worry about. If you only have a verbal agreement then you are probably out of luck.
If they don't honor your original agreement then tell them you will walk. If they want your business bad enough they won't let you walk.

Keep us posted.

no, the only thing I got was a receipt stating I left a $500 deposit and I don't remember signing anything either. However, I do have a print out of the price before tax and final price with the deal# on the top. I am assuming the deal# is has my name and info in it. Plus the new CA handwrote he'll be helping me on the new car, meaning my info should be on their computer. I am hoping things won't change...the wait itself is already killing me, and if this is bad news then the wait is all for nothing

why don't you wait and see if the price has really been changed? what's the point of guessing at this time???? no point really

I feel certain that if you have ordered the car they want to sell it to you and don't want to lose the business. Rather than wait for for an email response I would call the dealer and talk to the sales manager. Explain the situation and ask for an itemized invoice showing the final price with the deal you agreed on.

Just me being a worrier that's all. I know that the people are paying more over invoice and afraid that maybe they would use this as an opportunity to sell it to someone else for more profit. Anyway, the CA just emailed me back and I gave him the deal# and prod#, hopefully everything is still green light

My CA left the dealership too. But before he left, he called me personally to tell me the new CA's name and everything on the deal remains the same. I never even talked $$$ with the new guy until I went in to sign the loan and he showed me the $$$ on the folder. It was exactly as it should be.

That's good customer service Unfortunately I never got a call from my CA before he left, not sure what's the situation and he was an Internet director instead or Internet manager. Anyway, I just emailed the new CA again, after my last email stating my production# and my deal# I never heard back from him. The first email I got a response withing 15 mins...this one has been couple of hour and still no reply..there I go being paranoid again..I guess I'll give him a call tomorrow if I don't hear anything...

Nope, don't remember signing any paper, the CA just took my deposit and gave me a printout of the deal# with price before tax, tax doc fee and final out the door price. Along with the sheet with all the options I selected on the car.

I didn't sign any papers either. Was a bit uncomfortable and decided to print up something on my computer with all the stuff on it and give it to my salesman. He has a copy and so do I. Still didn't sign anything, but I am not worried. I don't think dealers want to spring something on a customer at the last second. That would look pretty bad for them.

Nope, just a printout of the computer screen with the prices

Well, here's the update. I called the new CA this morning and spoke with him and trying to track my status down. I guess my worry is not compelety unfounded. Anyway, he has record of the price before tax, lic and that part is correct. However, I guess the last CA wasn't too organize on paperwork and it doesn't show I left a deposit So now I have to fax him a copy of the written receipt on the deposit and he'll file it in the deal folder. Hopefully everything is good to go now. I guess the combination of waiting for the car plus unexpected changes can make you worry big time..or it could just be me

When i ordered my 325xit we ran some number firdt and when I thought prices where good ordered it, but i got copies of everything. From the order form to the paper where he goes back and forth to his manager...just to be on the safe side. Just in case something happens and might want to rise the payment a lil..
