Someone in the know? Fbodfather?

I haven't gone back and listened to the podcast from ordering day but I was told yesterday on another board that in that podcast it said that our pricing is locked in regardless of what happens (assuming a possible price increase at launch). Anyone confirm? Can I also assume that we would get the benefit of any price decrease though (ya, wishful thinking I know)?

Anything you seen on any message board has no relevance whatsoever. the ONLY thing that matters is the paperwork you signed when you ordered the car. You aree not buying a car from chevrolet -- you are buying from an authorized dealer. The documents you signed constitute a contract between you and the seller.

Normally I would agree. I do have in writing from the dealer "MSRP at time of delivery". In this case however, I tend to think some exception would be made considering the source was John Fitzpatrick and Cheryl Pilcher.

You signed a contract to purchase a product with an intedeterminate price -- indeterminate at the time of contract execution. The dealer can and probably will charge you MSRP when it is delivered.

I guess the real question, based on the podcast, is if pricing does change, will the MSRP on our pre-orders be different from the factory? I agree that this is probably the only way it happens.

Pricing being "out" is kind of relative at this point. If it was locked in, I would think it would already be in the Workbench and it isn't. Any other vehicle ordered through Workbench has pricing...

I'm not saying you're wrong, just pointing it out.

2 documents

I have a signed document called a "Deal Worksheet" printout that has my final price including Taxes and Gov Fees.

I also have a "OrderWORKBENCH" printout that has my order number but no prices as stated above. So, If I were you, I would try to get something signed with $$ figures not just a promise of MSRP.

Honestly, I'm not worried at all. I'm just fishing for an answer because it's being brought up in threads on the various message boards. I was just hoping someone "in the know" could provide an answer and settle it once and for all. Not losing sleep over it my friend...

Traditionally, sold orders are price protected with GM. I have heard of no policy changes on that.

I also got a signed worksheet from the dealer with the MSRP of the vehicle and options in addition to my WorkBench printout. Though it doesn't have tax and other fees added in.
