Same question as caseyandlisa.
When I put down deposit and initialed some paperwork the vin did not appear anywhere? How do they 'mark' the incoming truck as purchased?
first of all, there are many different ways of so called ordering a vehicle
the original poster had his truck special ordered. even though his truck order was accepted , it hasnt been assigned a build production week yet or been allocated to the dealership. That may take months. No vin or even a temp vin will be assigned until the truck is allocated
if a dealer is trading for the truck from another store, then you will have a temp or perm vin number
if the dealer is selling you an incoming truck, then you will have a temp or perm vin number
if the dealer is changing a truck to make it come in the way you want it do, then you will have a temp or perm vin number
If the dealer is taking your money and praying that he gets a truck for you, then you get nothing.
