Just be careful you don't order from a dealer. Order directly from the mfg.
I once ordered from a dealer, left a deposit, waited 3 months (with no car at the time so busses and friends), they claimed it came in on a Sunday. I said I'd be in Monday morning since my bank is closed on Sunday. They sold it to someone else, told me I could order again and wait another 3 months if I wanted.
Since the deposit wasn't tied to a VIN or something there was nothing I could do.

- RajT88 4y agoThe dealership model needs to die. American culture is all about the price being the price. With dealerships, you're haggling just to get the price down to the normal goddamn price, just because of middlemen. I am happy to pay The Price if it means no bullshit and an assurance I'm not getting screwed. Make your car decisions based on the merits of the vehicle.
- RJIb8RBYxzAMX9u 4y ago> American culture is all about the price being the price. Variable sales tax rates depending on locale / product / usage / other arcane rules; variable tipping rates based on type of service rendered, customs, etc.; services charges, delivery fees, resort fees, convenience (of printing your own ticket) fees, so on and so forth... No, I think Americans are quite used to not just paying list price.
- JamesianP 4y agoTipping was the first thing I thought of when reading the parent post. I'd call it another cultural outlier. Most American retail stores and activities do not involve tipping. The one big exception is eating at non-fast-food restaurants. Meanwhile though, literally everything done by people living in young urban "gentrified" areas seems to involve tipping.
