hi,
i'm gonna go in in about 10-12 days and put down my deposit ($500 canadian) I was wondering though, should I just go to my local dealer (an hour away) or should I find somewhere that doesn't have any deposits yet?

I have seen many benefits on the Solstice forum to those that shopped around. Some who put down deposits in april are still waiting. One post today put his down in august and is taking delivery this month. Worth trying to figure who has availability and who will not jack up the price. That's another real problem with the Solstice. Many of us are getting MSRP, guaranteed in writing. Some dealers are charging 5-10,000 over MSRP. Be very careful.

Where in Canada?

Hi ya, where in Canada are you located? I put my deposit down last weekend and am forth on their list for a Sky.

Shop around and find a #1 position at a larger dealership. It defintely helps get you your car sooner.

You can find dealers that haven't received deposit...

I did yesterday, but it cost a lil more... 800$

I'm in Penticton, BC... the one I was planning to go to is Saturn of Kelowna... I think I'll do some shopping around, thanks!

Put my deposit in today. $1000 down. Had the sales manager write MSRP or less on the reciept/order. Was told that sometime in early Janurary, the dealership could place the order once they gets their "slots". He expalained that his dealership was getting 10 slots. His info seems to jive with Sky start of production on 3-20-2006.

Now the long wait till next summer....

Being number one at the dealer you place your deposit at least ensures that when the dealer gets their first SKY in you get yours. :cheers:
