   1st preference for GXP
Member

Join Date: Jun 2005
Just got our first preference for a GXP Solstice this morning ( only one available and 13 more orders on the books). My customer who ordered it on the first day of the Detroit auto show is very excited. My manager told me the expected tpw would be in august. I told her September so I am hoping to under-promise and over deliver.
Has any other dealers recieved their first preference?

Thats why they should ship to the northern states first. That would go over big with you southern folks.

I'm only joking guys don't get mad.

Long story short....what happened to you order from Iraq? i tried reading the other thread you posted, but couldn't find out why you've been waiting so long? That thread really didn't say, that I saw. I also got a little distracted by that funkywinkera$$ that was posting crap about the war...

I just started a list with the Forum members who got picked up so we could see the states they are getting picked up. Maybe a rhym or reason to it.

You can add your allocation to the list with no name.

What a BRILLIANT IDEA!!! Why don't they deliver all the Sols for Florida during the winter months???? ...since you guys/gals up north have to put them away anyways...

If I don't have mine by middle of October I don't care if I have to wait untill March or April. But I can't give you my order, I don't know how many the dealers are going to get. But I would love to.

I'll tell you what instead of putting it in the garage, I'll just ship it to you in Florida to enjoy then you can send it back to me in April. Now that sounds like a plan.
