That was the last words of the yesterday's e-mail received from my dealer concerning my C7 order... INCREDIBLE !!
My experience regarding my C7's order have been at 3 days of the worst scenario...
A little history :
Chevrolet decided this year to leave the european market, that was announced in February. When I was ordering my 2015 C7 in March, the situation was not very clear but the dealer was confident as Cadillac Europe was charged to sell only 2 Chevys for the future : the Vette and the Camaro.
As this was not effective at that moment, my order was still managed by Chevrolet Switzerland.
The dealer promised the 2015 prices and definitive order form for approx. the same delay that you had. Since this time the dealer was absolutely unable to have any news but was asked to transmit all his 2015 orders to Cadillac Europe and had no more news.
We both were more and more anxious seeing that until last week nobody at GM gave any reliable news and bad rumors were running.
Suddenly Cadillac have contacted my dealer (the biggest in Switzerland) to make a new contract with them and.... to give him, at last, the 2015 price list !!!
My dealer sent it immediately to me as I was the first customer to order a 2015, on March. The prices have not been so much increased since the March 2014 ones but as said, my dealer informed me that all the complete order with options choices received after September the 30th will see the Stingray price to be increased by $ 10'000.00!
Incredible but a part of this amount will be to cover a new CO2 Tax which will be effective soon over here and the other part as Cadillac (GM) think that the Stingray is too cheap in Europe
Actual Stingray (the only model we have) price in Switzerland is $ 89'250 + 10'000 will push it more closer to the competitors, bad idea.
So, bad news for the customers who will decide to order a C7 after Tuesday and, AT LAST, very good news for me:
- I spare $ 10'000
- I have "completely"ordered my Stingray
- She will be produced on November
- She will be delivered by my dealer on March 2015 (what I wanted, the winter is long over here).
To conclude, this incredible situation that I have to undergo since my order had discouraged me to be able to concretize this purchase and if it had lasted only one week more, I would have completely given up in front of so much casualness on behalf of Cadillac / GM.
I remain however rather worried because in case of problem mattering with my car, if they are as less effective to remedy it, I am going to have to wait for one year...
Well, I can breath and the countdown is really running now
