Thanks so much for the info. Yes, I particpated in the big phone call rush. I followed the development of this car every step of the way, so I was prepared. Funny thing was that there was a mix-up in the time posted for when the lines would be open. It was posted as 10 a.m. EST. Well the first problem is that in September, daylight savings time (EDT, not EST) is still in effect, so that accounted for one ambiguity. Also, I believe the phone center was in Texas which is on Central Time. In any event, whatever the reason, the lines didn't open until 11 a.m. EDT. So I was calling for a full hour, listening to a recording that said call in on the date originally posted....even though that time had passed. Someone finally answered around 11, and I got my car. Exactly one year later, to the day, my dealer informed me that my car was delivered.
And yes, you are correct, I only paid $41,995 before taxes and delivery.
