Is the other car set for any prouction date yet? If not Id take the white GTS now

I have a November build, no rear deck popping issue here. Cars built after October 18th have an updated ecu with no idle dip/CEL.

Thanks for all the advice guys, but as painful as it is, i've taken the decision to wait for my orange instead. Bcoz i know that a few months down, whenever i see an orange car, i will probably tell myself "damn it looks really nice you should have just waited". LoL.

Plus its a GTS as well (i wanted the GT), which means I gotta fork out another few grand which I could use toward some tasty new wheels and catback.

Great choice. I had the same decision with my Orange. Seems like it's going to be the most 'unique' stock colour out there.

Actually on my way to see the silver one that they offered me I made it a point to count the number of silver cars I saw on the road. When I counted around 105 in-between me and the dealership (only about 15km's away) and only two orange cars I made my decision to stick with Orange.

Yes a few sneaky dealers are doing this, when someone cancels an order they simply offer it for immediate delivery to the next guy that walks in....usually with a small increase in profit margin.

I know this as a fact because my brother works as a car salesperson for one of the large automotive group here in Perth.

LoL I can't anymore, because I've already told them I'll pass, and the next guy in line has taken it. I don't have any regrets though....pretty set on getting the orange even if I have to wait awhile more.
