Everything I've heard/been told is when your number is up, you have to buy it or you lose your deposit, spot in line and presumably accessory $.
Yeah, I'm not saying Speed would "get away" with just taking all my $ and telling me to kick rocks... just that they've indicated that's what they'll do if you don't want to take the car.
I have seen some that look like they are trying to get out for what they paid.
Yes you’re right on no deals for accessories. Anyone that purchased accessories knew that payment was due up front. No one forced any one to buy accessories it was the buyers decision.
Maybe it’s a thing or maybe it’s not. That’s why I asked about the status.
Payments on accessories based on promises from RG. Unfortunately way past that now. Feel sorry for a lot of the buyers waiting for cars. I have multiple friends waiting in that mix as well.
The Bandit on e85 was hauling the mail. The Speed key IMO is going to be the perfect amount of HP for most duners with 2 seat or 4 seat car. Unless your the type that mob to Olds crack a few drinks and run up and down the hill, then the Speed is not for you. Besides I dont care what SXS you have and whats been modded, cause there will ALWAYS someone that is faster then you up a hill.
Please don’t take this the wrong way. This is by no means directed at you or any other person getting ready to receive their car. I see pretty much every person that is waiting say the will be getting their car soon and glad they didn’t get the car right away because all the problems will be worked out by the time they get it. First, the test mule they built supposedly had over 10k HARD miles put on it before the trailing arm mount broke at the SSSS. How is it that most of the cars that have been delivered have all sorts of different issues? Now we have motors blowing how many months after the cars were delivered? How do you not question what types of issues may pop up once you get your car? Yes these other issues may get fixed by the time yours is delivered but what’s next? Those are what would bother me if I had one on order.
When people were paying for accessories it was under the assumption cars were in production and going to be delivered soon. Also RG kept talking about pricing going up.
Nope. I seems it would be easy to show RG's statements were misleading at best to get the money back, no? I guess there's the whole "take it or leave it" part that most won't want to deal with, so the accessories part just gets sucked up and people move on. Doesn't mean it doesn't sting the cornhole a bit though. :biggrin:
Yep. This was called out years ago when RG's "finalizing production" posts were made showing boxes of first run parts being hand-assembled in an empty warehouse. The vendor's small run "prototypes" are never to be trusted. I've had (small) issues with even trusted ISO 9001 suppliers once FRP starts, and I'm laughably low rate by comparison.
