Great news, I just hung up with "ERL" and she said that it has been shipped and should arrive week of 9/20! Should be driving it by weeks end. :banana:
Dealer allocation does play into the ordering process. Also, I would keep looking until I found a dealer that would not charge over MSRP. You may have to drive a little farther, but would be worth the savings.
I ordered my 06 on July 16th and had my confirmation that same day. He should have the confirmation for you on Monday. Not sure why he did not place the order today. Watch the priority he gives you on the order. Good luck!
