I don't think that ordering from Bob will get me a car any quicker. I ordered from Bob because based on what I've heard about him and my converstations with him (via email and phone) he is a stand-up, honest car guy that treats people with respect.I ordered from Bob at MSRP on 9/17/14 and sat in BX hell for months. I was told at the second allocation that my VON would get some action in the Spring of 2015. Way too long for me so I canceled my order with him and found one in stock at another dealer for $4K over. Bob was great and refunded my deposit the next day. Although he is connected, it doesn't get you a Cat quickly.
I despise old school scumbag dealers and their tactics. I don't care if you are buying a Ford Focus or a Ferrari. You shouldn't be treated like slime.
