yep definitely not paying for markups
Could mean it’s being built or could be waiting for shipment. Congrats! Now it’s the real waiting game!
Congrats @SpooN86! Which accessories did you order that you want to install yourself?
So you actually put in an configured order or did you put down a deposit for an allocation and they got one that matched what you wanted?
I opted for the GR shift knob, black lug nuts, all-weather mats, and the mudguards. All of these are low-threat but I just prefer to keep the dealer's paws off my cars.
I used the configurator to spec the 86 and that was sent to the dealer. After they contacted me we did that again at the dealer and I put a deposit down ($500) once I had an out-the-door price on paper. Once they let me know the vehicle would arrive in January and gave me the VIN they also told me the mudguards would not be available just yet.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but on an ordered car, I believe these accessories are added at the port. Maybe things have changed, but I used to work at a port on the east coast where they imported Chrysler and Dodge badged Mitsubishis, and we were adding roof racks, A/C systems (that's probably not a common port-installed item anymore), and other accessories once the vehicles rolled off the ship.
