But what do we get up here? Jack sh1t! So why not take the lead and offer the members special pricing? Balls in your court. Don't drop it.
I have no problem with that.

In fact with my order; I was very close to not getting it. Mine was the last production run before re-tooling for the roadsters. If I would have waited just 2 more days, I would have had to wait for the 2010 model.

As far as the accusations of fraud goes... people can make up thier own minds. My advice is to do the talking with your wallet and try someone who has not been accused and convicted of "shady" dealings.

As an earlier poster put it... "not a very professional reply". Maybe, just maybe, you should ask AK (the owner of this forum) if you can apply to be a forum vendor. Like all the rest of the legitimate businesses on this forum. Your admission of "using buyer's information and paying them" to sell vehicles to others, may have an influence on that decision.

I'm not trying to be rude. Or demean your business. But a lot of us have had the experience of ordering their Z and having to wait. We can smell if something doesn't sound right. And your statement of getting a factory ordered Z in 6 to 8 weeks and doing it dozens of times, just sounds a bit strange. I hope that's a polite enough way of putting it.
I don't think that you get it. We had customers driving their 370's two months before you even ordered yours. If you want a sports car for the spring, you place your order in the fall...... not in spring, which puts you in the first allocation. That is what an informed salesperson will tell you.

It doesn't seem like you're familiar with supply and demand. If the allocation of a production run is exhausted, then you must wait for the next production run with an available allocation. If you're lucky, it's the next one. You said it yourself, you ordered too late at that time. The demand this year, is nowhere near where it was last year.

Again, I had nothing to do with that, and no real customers were affected. I think you may need to get hooked on phonics for first read comprehension. I made no admission, and was not involved; it was clearly there in the article.

I'm not trying to be rude either (trust me), but you seem a little jilted by your bad experience which none of my customers have had to endure, having been properly consulted. Not all those factory orders were Z's, and I hadn't stated that they were. Again, it depends on the allocation, and the stage of production.
