Has anyone who previously negotiated an ADM at the time of placing the order later re-negotiate the deal when the car finally arrived, given the market has changed over the past several months?

I saw that there is also Lake Wanaka Vessel in port today offloading and I think this one is planned to come to Halifax NS also not 100% sure though as I do not see it on the VW vessel list.
As you say Sunshine Ace will be there next week so hopefully we both make it on that Vessel...I think the "being in the dark" on this process is making it irritating for soo many of us...I think I hit refresh at least 25 times a day hoping for updates.
All I know is that it will get here eventually and we'll all have many miles and years to enjoy it.

If you agreed to a ADM, and an allocation was given to you based on those terms, you should honor your word. If it was the other way around that the dealer would have slipped a last minute ADM after agreeing to sell at MSRP Im sure you would not be happy.

I’m just wondering if any of you guys are either paying lower ADM or having the dealer throw anything in like tint or ceramic or maintenance package given the market has changed in the last several months and they wanna keep your business?

That said. I’m buying the car at MSRP. If for some reason there is spike in inventory and there is room to negotiate a discount, I would not. I would pay MSRP like we agreed, because they did the right thing by me when others wouldn’t.
If I show up with a check and they tell me all of a sudden there is ADM when the car delivers, i’ll tell them to **** off and will go get a C8.

Although I agree with your point about honoring your word, in my opinion, a dealership that is charging ADMs doesn’t have honor so therefore, none should be given to them!!

There’s absolutely nothing forcing me to buy the car and I could walk away. It’s not the same way the other way around. For example, in California, a consumer who pays a deposit can still walk out and get their deposit back.

On a side note, one thing I did when signing my paperwork, was let my finance office guy know I would not be buying any additional add ons that they typically go through and then was able to cite reasoning being his boss taking all my extra funds in the way of adm. I even joked that I would be happy to buy a few years prepaid maintenance if he could make my ADM go away. He actually chuckled as I know he hates the ADM thing as much as we do since it affects his ability to up sell stuff.
