Replying to: imidazol97 (Nov 13, 2008 8:37 am) I do too. But you can get more for a 10 year old Accord, than you can for a 10 year old Malibu. And probably sell it in half the time. I also want to do a long test drive of the car I want to buy. If it's not on the lot, that's not going to happen until the car comes in. Then, if you happen to not like the car, when it comes in and you test drive it, your back to square one.

Last I knew colors don't make them drive differently nor do most of the options on a car. I'm betting you just don't want a Malibu and will use any excuse to get the other car.

I have seen some used Malibus for sale and the resale is holding up pretty well on them vs. say an Impala. I think people know the new Malibu is a good car now and their value is holding up better than most GM cars. CTS's hold value well also, I know that because I tried to buy a used one with no luck. Anyway, I drive my cars for 7-9 years so I am not too worried about resale. |

Replying to: imidazol97 (Nov 13, 2008 4:31 am) I would never order any vehicle. ------ REASON: ---- If I do not like the quality of the vehicle when it arrives at the dealership I now have a "BIG PROBLEM"! ------- I want to walk their "holding lot," pick the vehicle, have a set of dealer plates put on the vehicle, and take it out for a drive! ----- I am always professional in my dealings with the staff at dealerships, but I purchase vehicles on my terms not on the dealer's terms! -------- REASON: ---- I have the money, and they want to sell me a vehicle! That puts me in the driver's seat! ------ Now that dealerships are going out of business, what happens to a "deposit on a new car order" if the dealer is no longer in business? How does the customer get either the deposit or the new vehicle? Best regards! ------------ Dwayne

Replying to: djm2 (Nov 13, 2008 8:23 pm) You drive it after it comes in. If you don't like it you don't take delivery.  End of deal! That's the same thing as when you drive a car that's on the dealer lot. >but I purchase vehicles on my terms not on the dealer's terms!  When you accept only the color or the package combinations left on the picked over  dealer lot, you are buying a car no the DEALER'S terms, not your terms. Ordering a car puts you in the driver's seat.
