If I was buying I would get the 2010, if i was leasing and a 2009 was equipped the way I liked, I would get it in a heartbeat.

other than the LED tails, I would pissed if I ordered an '09 and was switched to a 2010 P+ with de-content

we made a 2% over invoice deal with a dealer we know well for our ordered car. this allows a fair commission for them imo. we also have a guaranteed price spread on our trade-in too.

$500 over invoice is the price I received. I also received an offer at invoice from another dealer, but the dealer was an overall *****. So, I bought from a dealer I felt was more "honest," if there is such a thing with car salesmen, and overall nicer guy. Unlike rxbg, I was unable to get a price spread for my trade-in, but I'm hoping I won't get too screwed. I don't see my trade-in losing too much value in 3 months.

Question: For those that ordered MY10, are they manuals or tiptronic? I'm figuring the manuals will arrive asap since there is such a high demand and shortage. The tiptronic I don't see arriving as quickly, especially with so many automatics in dealership lots. However, I could be wrong. Did anyone order an auto with an eta of July 13th?

My car which is due in my hands July 13th is a tiptronic. Read the first post in this thread for the dates projected by the dealer.

Regarding pricing, I think the constant hammering for the best deal best deal is a little misguided. The dealers, in particular the honest ones, have a right to earn a living. Having been one of the good guys when I was in the car business, I now have mixed emotions--on one hand pressure to not pay too much, but on the other hand, having my hand in the dealer's pocket.

To me, a preagreed margin to the dealer is fair. We have agreed on $500 over invoice, HOWEVER, the dealer has agreed to give me the best possible price based on time of delivery. This means if he qualifies for accelerator cash he will share. Based on my experience and feeling for this group, I am confident he will be honest and fair with me.

1-2% is a fair margin, and if the dealer is hard working and honest, he deserves that much...in my case, I am happy with my agreement, and I trust my dealer...and THAT you can't put a price on.

Good luck all, I will keep you informed.

i don't think equipment will delay or accelerate a sold-order delivery in any way.

So frustrating...it seems like everyone has a production date except for me?!?!

I ordered mine at the end of March as a 2009. I know it took a little while to get an allocation but last month it was in the factory order bank then the conversion to MY2010 happened. So one would think I would have a production date and hopefully would be one of the first to be built, but it seems that my order is still in the factory order bank?? Ugh...just venting.

I'm in the same situation as you. Ordered on 3/16; the order is in the factory order bank as a MY2010, but still no confirmed production date.

RXBG

you both should have a production week by now for sure. do you have a comission #? let me know and i can find out for you.
