Sorry to hear about it Dood...can you still get $2000 back on the next car? Something to look into because I bet there's a time limit and you could get screwed on that deal too.

Nope...I talk to GM/Pontiac about that...
It was worth a shot(I didnt expect to get it), but no...no rebate..
I can only hope there is some new rebates when the car is delivered...

Hey DooD sorry to hear they screwed up! <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0"> I just tried to build and find your car on GMBuypower.com funny thing as you are going down the option list to modify the axle ratio it won't let U! U have to pass the axle ratio U want and go to the 4 different tire options and either pick the 16 or 17 inch speed rated tires! Then only after U pick a proper speed rated tire will the 3.23 box allow U to check it off! I wonder if your dealer did not catch this when ordering because if he did not it will revert back to the non speed rated tires and the 2.73 ratio! U may need to hold your dealers hand as he is inputting your order and make sure he does it properly! <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> Unfortunatley these guys aren't always into the cars as much as their customers and need to be helped! <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> Good Luck this time around!

Krush:

Basically you called it!
Thats 'exactly' what happened...
It was cuz they didnt specify the 'tire' that they said was the reason it shipped GU2 regardless of the GU5 request..

DUH.. In my 'logical' mind..
If you say GU5...SHIP IT!
Why? Its alot easier to swap TIRES then GEARS on an order!!

I can only imagne the MORON that saw the order..
"Well errr..duhhh...um...Hey beavis..they ordered 3.23 gears...but didnt specify the tires.
This MUST mean he 'really' wants 2.73's.."
(And union workers make 30bux an hour mounting tires on an assembly line?!?! <img src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0"> )

I would've taken the car and gotten gears put in later. What if you wait 12 weeks for another one and it too comes with 2.73s??

After this dealer screwed you around I hope you are ordering it from someone else?

Damn that sucks that you are going to lose that rebate! Why not make them take off at least 500 dollars since GM screwed up. Hell they have to take off the 300 for the missing gears. Have them throw in an extra few hundred for the agony they caused you and now you can do the gears or just go with a nice aftermarket TC. Just a thought.
