my wife called them yesterday (i am still in Italy until saturday) and they said that they think they found one, and hoped to have it driven to OK from texas by the end of the night. they said that we have quite a few accessories to have installed, and hope to have it done by tonight, maybe friday. hail damage is the big issue. we had major hail come through OK and Texas in the past week or two.

so it looks like i will have my new truck waiting for me when i get home.

i have to say, i emailed them about a loaner to drive in case we didnt have a vehicle, and the response was astounding and amazing, considering they already have my money and they have already made the sale. to quote the email, the internet salesman said "We will DEFINATELY get you a vehicle to drive while we get yours in. Just contact XXXX @ YYY-ZZZ-AAAA and let him know the circumstances and he'll get everything set up. I can't guarantee it will be a Ridgeline but we won't let one of our customers walk 10 miles to work while we're trying to get their vehicle here." again, they already have my money and my loan.

i am thoroughly impressed with this buying experience. these guys have somewhat renewed my faith in car salesman. they will get a lot of preference when we purchase our next vehicle, which may be soon, as my wife drives a '99 escort that is dieing, and she really likes the new Pilots.
