Top Ten Dealer Excuses

Okay, how about this one:
"We can't deliver your MDX to you for another two months because some of the $5,000 of mandatory add-ons are on backorder. The in-dash bagel warmer and shiatsu-massage mat for cargo area-kept pets have finally arrived, but we're still waiting on the ChiaDash and on-board solar powered flashlights.

We understand being without your MDX may be an inconvenience, but just to assure you that you will be receiving your vehicle, your payment book should be shipped to you within 10 days."

Reminds me of a story. When I worked for a Jaguar dealer, I was asked by the sales staff what two accessories I felt would be appropriate to give a new Jag owner. Imagine the look on their faces when I selected the first aid kit and warning triangles

Maybe you might want to consider changing your forum handle from "DMor" to "DLess" 'cause that's what you're getting out there in ole' SD.

Thanks Remery...but I'm hoping for just "DLayed".

DMor -- this was a great start for a thread (and DLayed -- good one too). Clearly you're the most creative of this motley bunch.

I nominate you for our mdx.org creativity award. Keep in good spirits...we waited almost 4 months for ours (and switched dealers in the process when ours was sold out from under us, and then they tried to sell us the WRONG trim altogether, claiming *I* made a mistake telling them what I wanted).

Those sour memories have long since passed. Hang in there.

I just ran across this thread while searching for something else, but it gave me a good chuckle. You may want to re-read DMor's list

A salesman in Bakersfield CA actually told me the MDX came in with NAVI, but they left off the rear camera!! He was looking at a 2002 and did not even realize it. (I'm not making this up :8: Go figure.

Give the guy a break, it gets VERY hot in Bakersfield.
