Our experience with the guys over in Ft. Myers was great. We were in and out in 30 minutes with our M2 at MSRP.

At msrp, experience is good so far. My car arrived 3 weeks ago, waiting due to the recall. I'm currently driving a loaner they supplied me.

Sorry if I've missed it elsewhere, but what have you been doing with it? Anything exciting yet worth sharing?

I wished I had jumped on to the board earlier..

The Melbourne FL dealer had a Alpine White delivered mid April.. Beautiful car and made me actually change my initial thought of ordering in LBB.. They had it on display for 2 weeks as it was already sold to someone who ordered in Oct 2015..

The car someone mentioned in Fields of Winter Park was a test car which they were not planning on selling and the only people being allowed to drive it were people on the allocations wait list..

When I went to drive it I fell in love with the LBB color once more and changed my build, on both lists I was on, back to LBB..

Tried getting on more lists but none ensured me more possibilities than what I had already by being on two lists..

Tried initially getting on Bremen's list but desisted when they asked me for 5k just to be on the list..

Went in to Germain over a week ago and they have 2 allocations that are not spoken for, still asking for $5k over. I told them no way and if they reconsider I will go with them. Vista is in lal-la land, they took my name but I don't expect anything there. Sarasota told me they had 18 people on the list and would be well into next year. So I am #3 on the list at Fort Myers. Experience there has been great so far. Hopefully I will get a November build, waiting on the Q4 allocations to come out.

I'm assuming yours is the LBB, manual one. I knew that was too good to be true. I don't understand why they put these cars on Autotrader, if there already sold.

They should know by the end of next week if they will have anymore allocations for the rest of the year.

oh well, Germain keeps nudging me but for the $5k over....i think i will wait.....

Luckily for me this turned out to not be accurate. Fort Myers got 3 more allocations for the last Quarter. 1 of them is mine, currently a week 43 build and If I understand the conversation correctly there may be 1 or even 2 available at MSRP.

That's great news, wish I had known. I tried Germain and said no for the same reason. They started with the limited production BS and I walked out. I went to Sarasota but the list was so long (I was #11), I dropped out and found a small dealer in Georgia where I got #1 spot. Build week 42. ?

Glad things are moving along for everyone and no one caving into +MSRP BS.

I called Sarasota between the drive from Germain to Fort Myers, they said I would have been #18 on the list. it pays in more way then one to shop around.

And they were taking a $5k deposit. Which I thought was exaggerated when you have so many people on the list 18x5=$90k of other people's money they're holding on to for a long time! This new smaller Georgia dealership didn't even ask for a deposit. Only once I got the actual allocation did they ask for $1k. It has been a true pleasure dealing with them.
