Anybody get called yet from Fiat about Prima Edizione Delivery?

[MrJones]

I agree with Gavin. In general, get somebody to deliver it as far as they can free of charge. Albuquerque to Denver is not a bad drive (although the view is better out of one window than the other, depending on which direction you're travelling!)

Fiat is Comping $750 dollars to delivering dealer for home delivery over 50 miles, that will get you transport, open though, for quite a few miles. Check out www.ushipit.com.

My only question is, where are the cars now? At a certain point it will be too late to get the car to the right dealer or closest dealer since they used no logic in their decision on where to send the cars...

So I was able to speak with my dealer today (Fiat of Olathe) and got some good information.  First of all Fiat of Shreveport is owned by the same company and since they received their dealer license first they are listed as the originating dealer.  No impact on me.  Secondly, he just got an updated inventory indicating the cars were loaded on the train just today to start their journey.  He expects them in 2 or 3 weeks.  Lastly, he is working on a delivery quote and checking with Fiat what portion of that (if any) they will cover.  Good conversation overall!  Finally feeling like there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

Hello Vlad. Anything else important I should know since I am also getting mine from Olathe?

My local dealer found a solution to the local delivery issue. His dad is partnered with Robert L. Johnson and Mac McLarty under the umbrella RLJ-McLarty-Landers Automotive Holdings, LLC . They own the Shreveport (as well as Olathe) Fiat dealerships. Shreveport is going to take delivery of my car and they are going to flatbed it to Little Rock. Problem solved.

You mean like the $2000 off MSRP they offered me just for asking?  

Nope... that's about it!  Jeff said he will let us all know once he gets more exact delivery estimates as well as the VIN numbers.

I'll let you know when I'm done at the ATM machine! :P

I got the same call as everyone else asking which studio was closest to me.  I told them, though till today no one from a dealer has called me to sign paperwork.  That's just as well as I'm really close to giving up my spot.  Too many cars that I don't want to sell and a driveway that's too small.

hey guys, I'm new to this forum and I hope I can be of some help. My name is Paul and I'm the studio lead for Fields FIAT of Highland Park, Illinois. The reason that your dealer hasn't called you yet is because they have probably not gotten the final list from FIAT with all the contact info. Just this week I noticed that the Prima cars are showing up in our inbound list. it shows the customers name and address but no contact info like email or phone number.

[PaulL]

Sphinx, I checked your car and it's showing that it's on a rail car heading to Lawrenceville, GA, with an ETA of 3/12

[sjmst]

Hi Paul: Can you check on 499??  
Thanks
Sam

[PaulL]

Sam,
On Railcar, Toledo Walbridge Yard, OH destination Doremus, NJ, ETA 3/5!

word of caution, sometimes the info is not 100% accurate and it may be off by a few days.

[sjmst]

WOW..THANKS!!!!

[PaulL]

No problem, I'm just as excited to finally see the delivery trucks drop them off! Just a few more days to go!

I'll make sure to take some pictures of them coming off the truck if I'm around!

[John Reid]

How about number 280.  It should be headed to Olathe, Kansas but the List may say Shreveport, La.  Many thanks, Carl Wolfe

[PaulL]

Carl,
It's showing both current location and destination as Muncie, KS

[John Reid]

So it could be at the dealer as we speak?

[PaulL]

I doubt it, most of the cars that we are getting are sitting in Belvidere, Il., about 30 miles away. I still have not received a list of the customers with their contact info from FIAT. I expect to get more info in the next few days with delivery probably mid March.

[John Reid]

Many thanks for your help, it's greatly appreciated.
