Just a quick Thank you to all that support this thread and site. It is MUCH appreciated.
My truck was delivered a few weeks ago. Again, it was my 6th new vehicle from Koon's in Tyson's Corner. I was lucky. I was up there on business when it came in. Craig was nice enough to squeeze me in to take delivery that Saturday. I just stayed in Vienna an extra night. Dealer said it would take 8 to 12 weeks. Well, I picked it up exactly on the 12th week. I was sweating the delivery time because I "SOLD" my lease a month earlier. I was offered $11,500 cash, after paying it off. I couldn't refuse that. My truck was in F or paint for more than 2 weeks. WTH? Then all of a sudden, it was in KZ. Nothing in between. So, if this happens to you, don't sweat it. Also, it was in Ohio sitting in a lot so they say...waiting to be shipped. No status change. Then, once again, it's dropped at the dealer. Seems like Status codes are updated when people have extra time on their hands....
So, the deal at Koon's? It is a no bullsh!t price. It is what they tell you. -6% that INCLUDES the $1000 cash incentive. So is it really -6%? No. However, in the current market caused by the loosers in DC, its a pretty good deal. You are price locked. Financing was a better experience this time for me. Rate wasn't as good as my Credit Score dictates, but I kinda expected it. Still, 2.74 is better then most. I waited for the loan letter to come in the mail. I just applied online for a re-fi at Navy Federal and got my usual 1.79 with a $200 bonus. 500 bux is a 500 bux savings. Actually 300 savings in interest plus the 200 they will deposit in my savings account in 61 days. ALSO, another $1500 in rebates was applied to the final price. Again, I can't complain. When it came down to it, the truck was 500 more than what I calculated because I didn't grasp that 1000 cash incentive that was wrapped in the -6%. I guess I'm slow.
The dealers in the Triangle ALL pretty much told me to go get bent when I told them I was getting a new order for -6%. One guy called me a f$%#kin liar. But the dealer here that bought my truck was nice enough to say,
I'm sorry, I cant do that, you do what you have to do, but I still want your truck.
If I had to b!tch about something, the damn truck should have come with body side moldings like the Limited. I bought a Limited Longhorn. I took care of it. It looked naked without them.
Would I buy from Koon's again? Yep, most likely.
