Nope. I don't feel like waiting for only 22 hp and a paying more $$ for it. If there were other changes like child locks then I would be more inclined to wait. But even then, I'VE WAITED LONG ENOUGH DAMNIT :D . The dealer I ordered through was cool enough to ask if I wanted to wait though. He said the first 2007 orders would be going in a couple weeks from when I ordered.

Counting the days ...

I know better than to post DRIVEWAY PICS after reading the threads here for a year. Now I'll have something to post about!http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif

Don't know what the final price will be yet, but through the websites I was able to check GMID pricing on a lot of existing H3s out there. What I found was that in the MSRP range of the one I ordered, the discount is about 8.5% off of MSRP. Not quite invoice but I think this is pretty good. I probably could get a better deal, like invoice or something, by going to a dealer and taking something they have on the lot. I don't want to do that.

The nice thing here is we're getting EXACTLY what we want at a good price with no haggling or BS with the dealer. That's worth the little extra $ in my book. I'm very lucky that the dealer I wanted to work with was willing to order one for me ... they didn't have to do that at all. The dealer also told me that because it's a GMID deal that the processing fee the dealer usually charges will be a lot less too! I think he said $75 instead of $290 ... something like that.

Cheers,
Karl

Congratulations, and thanks.

Doug,

No need to thank me, but I'm sure there are a lot of people that get a GMID and never use it. I appreciate the help.

Cheers,

Thanks, that was one of the main reasons we ordered. Almost every slate blue out there had a black interior.
