Default Question before I pick up my car

I was promise to have some accessory to be thrown on the car which was part of the deal and was written on the buyers order. Salesman says its not available at the moment which he had to order.

So, do I wait until everything is in before I take delivery of the car or can I take the car home and wait for the parts to come in. Im just afraid that they're going to say tough luck,once its drive off , deal is done. Or pehaps make me wait until I will just forget about it. Im getting the run around as of now so Im just being cautious. Any ideas?

It depends.

If the accessories are something simple like rubber mats or a spoiler, get the car already.

If it's more elaborate such as XM radio, the whole OEM body kit, or wheel locks (you don't want to lose your wheels), then I would wait.

If you do wait, make sure you get everything in writing with what accessories to be added, as well as an estimated time of delivery/installation.

If it's written in the contract I would HIGHLY doubt they will back out once you take delivery.. But if not wrote down then it's a gamble sometimes, but if it was me I'd get my car. My dealership owed me a G-Sypder wheel which they had to order, took them awhile but I got it, GL and congrats

I agree. If it's in writing, you shouldn't have a problem. Most dealers have a form for "what they owe you" -- make sure whatever they owe you is written down.

if it's in writing, they have to honor it; however, you're at their mercy as to when you'll get your promised accessories...

to be a little more clear, it's needs to be in writing as part of the promissary note or bill of sale, not some IOU on a separate piece of paper. again, depends on what it is.

Get it in writing. It's usually called a "addendum" "due bill" or "A&R" or something along those names. Every dealer has their own form and it's signed by a manager. As long as you have this form you can pick up your car and come back later, no problem.

I don't see them backing out unless they seem like a shady dealer. Get it in writing like they said. Is it a Lexus dealer?

Great , Thanks guys !Yes its a Lexus dealer. Who knows what this dealer will do. They've been lieing to me since day one about bring the car in and so forth. But being the only dealer in the "state" I just had to play along. Ill make sure everything is in writing before I leave.
