New Owner in Limbo

[dcartwright6]

I was supposed to sign the papers on my 2020 GT2 (Ceramic Silver, red interior) on Thursday. As I was arriving at the dealership, they were closing. Someone who had come in earlier in the day called to tell them they had tested positive for covid-19. After some discussion & complaint on my part, they ended up giving me the car as a loaner until Saturday when they re-opened. Well, they didn't re-open on Saturday and I'm hoping to finally sign the papers tomorrow.

I was tempted this weekend to drive it like I stole it and if something happened to it, well, it's not really my problem.

I like having cheap insurance and I actually really want this car, so I've behaved.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your brand new Stinger GT! I’m sure the deal will be sealed shortly. What is the Stinger replacing for you?

The Stinger replaces a 2017 VW Golf Alltrack. Before that I had a 2011 G37 Convertible that I bought in 2014 and a 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8GT that I bought in 2010. I think the wagon was an over-correction for having two previous cars with no storage in them. The Stinger gives me performance and some hauling capacity.

This is from Thursday at the dealership.

I just got an email from the dealership saying they aren't opening tomorrow either. LOL.

Funny! You could be driving someone else's car for days (added to days) the way this is going. Good luck with everything!

Maybe they'll forget and you'll get a free car. Sure, you can't register it but still...

Might have to wait 14 days for them to self quarantine and get a clean bill of health before they can open.
