It’s pretty insane. I can ship it home and still be money ahead. I was surprised when a local rv dealer beat the price I was getting from aWisconsin dealer on my new fifth wheel. Seems like if you want to get a good deal nowadays you gotta travel to the heart land.
This is the experience for many of us, and especially me, in CA. It’s not even close, even if I pay shipping all by myself. Nuts. If a dealer anywhere in the state of CA was within a $2-3k I’d buy closer in a second just because I could drive it home (altho Sandi has ben 10/10 so far). Really bizarre to me that there isn’t at least a couple dealers around that try to keep up.
I’m in Ca also. Would have loved to spend local. Glad I am able to spend local on the 5ver. Had my finger on the trigger for one In Wisconsin.
If I could get that quote closer to Massachusetts within 250 mile range it would work, but for me to go to Louisiana 1400 mile to save additional 2,000 doesn’t make sense to me, flight, gas ,tolls and Hotels. I’m already 1.5% under invoice.
Yes 8/9/21 Is the new startup date.

Ok here's how is was explained to me. When you order a truck it is ordered as a sold order...I think its 99 priority which I believe is the highest. At that time they are assigning it a VIN it is sequenced on the line....AKA "Production line" its one continuous line for that model year (so think linear). On that line there are batches (buckets) of trims and options that are grouped on the line (maybe 300-500 at a time). Since the truck is sold and is a priority they do all they can do to fit you in line closest to production (front of the line). Based on date ordered usually goes first but not always another sold order can jump ahead of an earlier sold order based on many things i.e. usually parts, etc... There are many factors the first being are you a D1 (do they have all the parts present to build your truck) this is most important. If they don't they try to guess when all parts will be available (usually its a pretty accurate guess based on previous history). Then they sequence you and assign you a VIN and sometimes assign you a build date and a ship date....if the line is currently moving....in this case it isn't and doesn't currently start up until 9 August 2021. When it comes time in line for your truck to be build if ALL parts (usually the options you chose didn't arrive like they thought they would) and aren't available they move you back in line (into the next batch that fits your trim/options) build that truck that was going to be yours with out those options and it gets a different VIN and it sits on a dealer's lot. This is why sometimes you see a status change from D to D1 and then back to D...meaning all the parts didn't arrive. like they thought they would. The actual VIN like the guy that has the "127" yes that is very low are usually built first....but often a higher number VIN can be built sooner then the lower number VIN ALL depending on where it fits in the production line with the batches/buckets of trims...... and do they have the parts on hand. I hope this all makes sense. There are too many variables that come into play that effect this process.....there's really no true rhyme or reason and much of it depends on luck.....is why most trucks are 6 to 10 weeks but yet once in a while on the timing a truck is ordered, built, shipped and delivered in less than 4 weeks and others take 14 -16 weeks. or even longer. With the chip shortage it makes the guessing game even that much harder as to how quick your truck will arrive.Sorry what I meant was he was before me in build order. He’s numerically “lower” despite his order being placed after, which means he’s in a “higher” order/priority/whatever. I think you’re right by saying higher, but really, my main point/idea was that I think the trim’s may be “bucketed” somehow, which impacts this overall order.
This kinda goes along w/something else mx said earlier in this thread, which is that they generally tend to build bh’s/tradesmans first, then limited/limited Longhorns, then the rest. Who really knows though, so I’m mostly just interpreting tea leaves on build order since I can’t do anything else but wait
Do you have phone number and who shall i ask for
Bro we have covered this. I gave you the contact info. Quit beating that dead horse. Call the dealership and ask for Aaron if you’re that skeptical. He’s the sales manager. Sandi works for him handling all the internet sales.
I'm scheduled to give my deposit tomorrow.
so I reach out to Aaron and waiting
$79,437.00. Am I getting ripped off?
You can do better(a lot) if you are willing to travel
