If you are not much in a hurry I would recommend that you factory order your new truck. I see two main advantages:
1. You get the exact truck you want. No compromise.
2. When you are ready to order, it most likely means you have done your research correctly. So you know what you are getting.
Order process is quite easy. And usually handled by the more experienced salesmen.
Good luck with your purchase!
Good afternoon ,
Not in hurry is true.
But my experience has been good at buying a left over model from previous model year. I actually have found a truck that clicks off most of the wants and meets all the needs plus a few.
My reason for not ordering, is for one, the rolling of the dice on final price and potential buyers programs in future. Two, I can see what I get, so to speak. I have already done a lots of learning, prior to joining this forum.
I'm just reading all that I can read here to further hone my knowledge. I have found that owners are the best source, dealers and websites tell you what they want you to know.
I have been on Duramax forums, since I was seriously getting ready to buy my current truck and that knowledge has served me well so far.
My burning question I have now is asking about 2 dealers that have truck I would buy. Each of these dealers are about 3 hours of drive time from where I live.
Not sure how to ask the questions/collect information without starting a flame war(s) about the 2 dealers.
I have read numerous reviews about the dealers and their respective reviews are of concern. But people's stories are not always objective as they could be. Perhaps, the rule of good experiences don't get reported, bad experiences get blown all over the internet.
The best option would for my local dealer to do a dealer trade, it really reduces their profitability from their sale, not into wasting their time.
Any ideas and or the proper place to have the discussion about said dealers is welcome.
