Many of us on this board have been tracking this car since the concept car was unveiled over two years ago. Many of us have had rather comical experiences since then with other dealerships ranging from complete ineptness (no product knowledge), false promise of delivery (because they had no allocation), bait and switch (promise of "sticker price" when the order was placed, then all sorts of mystery "fees" when the car arrived), to having a deposit lost and then being told that a markup of $40K would be assessed on the initial release. Crackheads.
Then as many have pointed out, during the last year Bob emerged as one of the few dealerships with the integrity to offer the cars at MSRP and who had the allocations available to actually deliver on his promises for ordered cars. There are a few others out there, but Bob was who I chose to give my deposit in September of 2008 after my local dealership "lost" my first one in 2007 and continued to be unwilling to budge from their ridiculous markup.
As other members of this board have done, I also had Bob search national inventory to find my car when the shutdown came prior to my car being built. As usual, he did this happily and swiftly. He grabbed the car that met my needs from a dealer in Chicago after Christmas and it arrives tomorrow at my front door in California. I couldn't be more excited.

Bob was prompt in replying to questions regarding the car and has been responsive to all correspondence since I have interacted with him long before he ever got my deposit. He is a class act and I will be calling him again when they release Sublime................
