I could have told you Curry sucks. I’m local and since they’re close I thought I’d give them a try. Bad move. Clueless ‘service advisors’, scratched front bumper during service and the never returned ‘we’ll call you when the battery arrives’ phone call. Horrible!

I don't know about their service center but I've had no problems with their sales. They're even going back and looking at the November Bolts for me right now.

I jumped the gun, clearly. I signed the agreement and I thought it was a done deal and was just excited and wanted to recognize them sticking through this.

I'll update this thread when the saga completes but at this point I'm really not getting the feeling the dealership has pulled anything and is continuing to try and work for me. (voluntarily, I might add)

They've been trying to tag a Bolt for me for a few days now and the system apparently is locking out east coast dealers. They have no way to know when or if it will be fixed and just want the dealer to keep trying.

Someone again tell me this is the dealership's fault lol.

I believe heard if a east coast dealer is tagging a Bolt from the west coast distribution lot there is something different that needs to be done.
Check with the RC

I draw the line at me inferring what's going on. Every time I do people get upset, so. Like when she quotes back to me the lemon law of my state over and over again so I quote back to her the stipulation that says they have to deliver the option in 30 days and she's like, "This is voluntary! Not arbitration!"

So, we follow the law, but only parts that GM wants to follow?

It's whatever man, she speaks, I jump, I keep thanking Curry for dealing with the drama, whatever the **** gets me out of this nonsense the fastest.

I start bugging them with conjecture, it's just going to fog it up and put Curry one step closer to saying they're no longer going to do this.

PS: What's easier, getting a car in 1980 USSR or getting a swap done with GM in 2022? I'm really going to go with getting a car in 1980 USSR.

it’s definitly been a frustrating process. Been dealing with this since around Nov. Some lucky fellow started his case in feb and tagged a bolt coming off the truck at the dealer. for that to happen I think that dealer would have to give up the allocation for that car. Which means less profit. So like 500 bs thier standard profit of like 1000 or so. 2.3 to 3% of MSRP.
I thought it was a lot more

I would not call asking what GM distribution lot the dealer can’t read as interfering. I am going by what the RC told me about a east side dealer looking for a car
In a west coast/side distribution center being tricky. The RC offered To talk to my dealer to help him do that. But it turned out not to be necessary.
best of luck
Hoping Lucy stays away from my football. Or my offer and vin #

I think I have a tagged Bolt now with Curry, but don't want to pretend like it's a certain thing until agreements are signed on all sides and car is being delivered.

Just want to hop on and say buy your salesperson a gift card or a bottle of booze or something if you're doing a swap. The dealership and your sales person is really having to deal with a ton of crap with no real benefit to themselves. The reason you can't find dealerships to host is because they're all doing it once or twice, getting fed up and saying, "never again."

If you're swapping your Bolt, the dealership who is helping you has taken a hit in time invested and maybe even financially depending on the situation, show your appreciation. Doesn't have to be like $500, doesn't have to be anything too thought out. I'm gonna grab a bourbon I like on the way to delivery. Was going to be something more but other car salespeople talked me out of it but said definitely any tip was warranted and would be appreciated.

They're essentially stuck in a place where it's obvious the defect is GM's fault, not the dealership network and GM is playing hardball on the financials with them and the process is straight up broken in places. They're either doing it because they think it's the right thing for the customer or because they feel stuck once the process gets started and is a nightmare and want to protect their reputation and not pull out. Again, this is why people are finding it hard to find a dealership to host a swap.

Yes
I have been thinking about a fair figure for the gift. Of course it depends on what you get.
My credit looks to be 4K and giving them a car with over 20k miles.
