This whole thread reminds me of an interesting story I heard while I was =
shopping for my truck. Apparently a few weeks earlier I guy wanted to =
have a truck special ordered so he went to all five of the dodge dealers =
around here and ordered an identical truck at each of them (and put down a =
=24500 deposit for each) His logic was that he would get the truck as =
soon as possible that way and as soon as one came in he would simply =
cancel the other four orders. Well, sure enough one came in and he when =
attempted to cancel the other orders he was quite surprised that he was =
met with some hostility on the part of the dealers. Last I heard the =
dealers had taken him to small claims court and it was decided that he =
would not get his deposits back. In the end the trucks came in within =
days of each other and he was out =242000 on the lost deposits. Apparently=
 he lived several blocks away from one of the dealers, but wound up =
getting the truck from one across town. I=27d love to see what happens if =
he tries to go to the close dealer for service;) It=27s people like this =
that make it hard for the rest of us:(
