So I emailed my salesperson asking if I could change my pre-order from a Premium to a Limited without bumping me to the back of the line. Here is his response:
"Finally got some answers for you, as far as upgrading to a Limited model it can be done, here's the catch we would have to cancel your current order and then place the order on the Limited and that would put you at the bottom of the list! Ouch. What we can do to keep it current is add accessories to your current order to upgrade that way and then when the car arrives we can have leather a better grade put in and add the heated seat features, along with the spoiler and what ever else you want to add. The window to change the order from one trim to another was only a day this I did not know. Let me know what you want to do as far as the accessories go."
I'm a bit confused now. Is he saying I can get all of the Limited features added by the dealership? This is how I replied:
"How much would it cost to add the extra features, and which features can I choose from? Will it cost more than the $2000 premium I would pay for the Limited? I want all of the features the Limited has, EXCEPT for the rear spoiler:
Bluetooth Keyless Access & Push Start Button
Smart Key Answer-back electronic chirp
Black Leather/Alcantara upholstery
Dual-Zone Automatic climate control
Heated front seats
Heated side mirrors
Fog Lights
And how long is the pre-order list right now? And what's my position on it? This is actually VERY important to me because I have a limited time window. I will be leaving for California sometime in July and will need the car by then. There were some rumors that dealerships will be receiving the cars pro-rata, so only a couple cars a month in the order of the pre-order list will be available to buy."
There's no way I'm paying more than $2000 for those upgrades, as the small upgrade price is the whole reason I want to change to a Limited. The rear spoiler is a $567 option on the
official accessories list, which is a lot, and none of the other Limited features are priced. Waiting to hear back from him, but I was wondering if you all had any input.
