Hey Readfast..

I have not taken delivery yet. I have a connection at a dealer who was trying to locate an R for me somewhere in the country. As expected no allocations found but we located about 6 new cars and 6 lightly used cars (new but driven). All had huge mark ups of course and wrong colors. By chance I called a dealer in my hometown and they had an Oxford R that had been ordered a year ago that the deal had fallen through on. Pure luck. It was the only R they had gotten as they are pretty much a truck store. I bought it on the spot. It has been there for two weeks for panel adjustments, stripe replacement, clear bra and weather. It is chassis GR272 and the build date was 11/16 so those dates make sense...
Am happy to be corrected but something doesn't make sense there. Was the car built 11/16/15? A car built 11/16 should have an HR not a GR, which was the year before, right? Or at least the last GRs were built before June of 2016. So that car was sitting around for over a year? What is the mileage, does the VIN on the motor match, etc.

I actually could have simply typed GR instead of HR. The car is still at my dealer and not at my home, picking it up tomorrow weather permitting. I do not know the nomenclature of the dash plates. I have the window sticker, VIN etc. and all car paperwork with me. Door jam sticker says 11/16. Car cover arrived at dealer 11/2/16. Can't see the car being made in '15. They only made 15 cars first year right? It's not one of them! Does the VIN include build date?

Hey Machsmith..

Very cool! Our R's are close to brothers. Can't be too many between MN and IA? Thanks for the info. Like I said, I'm lucky to have found it here in Mpls. Original owner ordered and backed out the day before I found it. I was convinced I was going out of state to find an R. Where in Iowa are you? I'm down there every 6 weeks or so for work.

Well after 7 years I finally purchased a car for myself and oh what a car. I've never been more happy I waited this long for something. I've been lurking here on the forums but since i took delivery of my new girl yesterday I figured it was time to register and say hello. I guess I'm still in shock it's mine and my wife said ok :)

Nope...I've yet to see another, though I'm sure they are out there.. I'm about 10 miles west of Des Moines
Congrats on the awesome car!

Absolutely Amazing

Took delivery of H2230 last week. Talk about an amazing machine. Nothing but love. Now to name her ... maybe Jessica, because she's not bad, she's just made that way. Loving the Ruby Red.
