ORIGINAL: FlaBlackhawk

I don't have a problem with giving one of my customers our dealer code, priority number of their order, and the order number. I think this is good business and I like my customers to be informed. In fact, I will personally call my customer to tell them if there is a change in the status. (i.e. - build date, ETA, and rail car number)

However, I would have a problem with a customer coming back into the dealership after they ordered their vehicle and demanding to see private company records, which includes names and information on other people who have ordered vehicles. If a customer did that to me and insisted on this information, I would cancel their order, refund their money, and tell them to have a nice day.
You sound like you are one of the good guys in the dealership world. All I was trying to say is that there are ways that the customer can be sure the order was placed into the system. If he was not getting any satisfaction, he should "ask" to see his order. The dealer can always get a printout of that order at any time and give it to the customer. Even my little rinky dink dealer in this really small community that I live in can get one, why can't a larger dealer do the same? That is unless they are not willing to work with their customers like the little guys out there.

Thank you for listening and have a nice day.

If you have all the information that was mentioned before, you can call the 800 number and get a status on it or ask your salesman for the status. I don't know if it has been serialized or not.

It all depands on the size of the dealer, priority of the dealer and too many variables to mention. It took me months to get serialized while other only took days.

from the way ive heard about it. once the car is serialized your locked. The dealer doesnt even have an order number for me yet, so i'm guessing the car will be ordered sometime in august for a mid october arrival. it sux, but i gotta deal with it

You are correct on being serialized. The dealer is the one that assigns the order number. If he has no order number, then it is not in the system yet.
