npggirl Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Ahoy Maties... Okay, so I ordered my 08 Edge about a week or so ago... My question is, is there something special about ordering? I mean....well kinda hard to explain... I ordered my edge because I wanted to make sure I got an Edge with everything I want on it....Which meant loaded! BUT, since ordering, my dealership that I ordered from has gotten an Edge in Identical to what I ordered... 08, white sand, camel int, fully loaded....everything... So, should I go talk to them about getting that one? Should I wait for my personalized order? Is there any special things we get for actually "ordering" one? I am just curious.... I assumed the reason everyone actually places an order for these is to get them exactly like they want them, but hey, they have one at the lot now... :stats: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamers1 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 The only reason to order is to get exactly what you want and not one thing more or less. Too often my local dealer will have trailer tow on most vehicles but that's something I'm not interested in. If you are lucky enough to have found one on the dealer lot that matches your order exactly then go for it. There is no other advantage to ordering.

jaysonol Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Yeah, make sure about the Tow package, maybe check the -un/obvious things like AWD vs FWD. Maybe it has Audiphile Stereo. 2007 model vs 2008? You can have dealership take out Tow package. I ordered my own edge 2.5 weeks ago, and they told me I'd have to wait 6-8 weeks for delivery.

Tell him/her what you say and ask if it is identical to the one you ordered. If so, there should be no reason he/she can't sell that one to you.

Grey Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 If the dealership will sell you the one on the lot - take it. The BAMR is now HIGH risk, which means orders with BAMR may be delayed for who knows how long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 (edited) High risk means that there are a linmited number of BAMR's that can be installed and the order rate is too high for demand. (High risk that the order cannot be scheduled). Edited November 8, 2007 by Grey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfhii Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Custom order can sometimes come cheaper. Mine was - they make more holdback if it leaves the lot the second they get it, so you have more negotiating power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is BAMR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 BAMR = Big A$$ Moon Roof Holdback is the same for stocked unit or special ordered. The stock unit may have experienced some floor plan expense (interest on the note) that they would like to recover. Buy it before it's gone.

Grey Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 There are special interest rates on a purchase. There is an additional incentive and very low rates on a Red Carpet Lease in the Atlanta market. You may want to have them figure a 2-3 year lease, just to see what the payments would be. At the end of the lease, you could walk away from it or buy it at a predetermined price. I did the lease on the MKX figuring my son would buy it at the end of the lease if it turns out to be a very good vehicle - so far - so good.

My advice to npggirl would be to tell the dealer that they have the one that she wants...so to let her have it or she should order from another dealer. I just got my EDGE-loaded last week....the dealer did a swap with another dealer 250 miles away so they could provide to me...I would be very upset if they had the one on the lot that I ordered, if they would not sell it to me....GOOD LUCK!!!

Grey Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 What options are on your MKX and what were the lease terms/cost if you don't mind me asking? 2007 with Sirius, Ultimate package and heated rear seats for 2 years at $471 - I don't recall the interest rate or the residual used but I did the 10,500 miles/yr.
