Anyone buying a HEA spec loaner?

GrannyShiftG80 · 02-03-2023, 11:42 AM

Is anyone buying the hea spec and then when their custom build comes in trading in ?

Can this be done ?

Yes, I’m doing it. Will probably end up at the back of the line for the next one (I’m OK with that).

No. I can wait the extra month or two.

Exactly. I would much rather wait to get exactly what I want rather than rushing into something I would be settling for and all for the sake of being one of the first to have whatever it is. In this case a G87. Furthermore, I cannot tell you the last time I have not ordered a vehicle to my specific specs. It has been quite a while.

JustinHEMI · 02-03-2023, 03:35 PM

No thanks. I'll wait for the car with my name on it built the way I want it.

Idk. For those of us on the fence between builds, it may prove useful if you're willing to part with time and some cash to do it.

There’s already a stop sale on these HEA cars for parts. I’m not rolling the dice on getting my build in a couple of months. I’d rather guarantee myself the full summer driving season with my G87. It’s not a Porsche, the customization on this car is pretty limited. There isn’t a spec I’d turn down.

Do you still call your dealer every day to harass them about when your car is coming in? If so then this HEA flip idea is for you.

Do you still go around harassing others for fulfilling their childhood dream?

Never. But when someone openly admits to harrassing their dealer on a daily basis as you have done, THAT deserves to be called out.

Any idea what the typical hea spec is? Does it vary by dealership or are they all the same?

There’s two types.
My dealer is getting a Brooklyn Grey 8spd Auto, CF roof and Trim.
And the other more common which is ZB with the Manual, CF roof and trim.

There's more variation than that, but barely. My dealer has BG + Stick

Sadly, I have seen more HEA ZBs with the automatic than the manual.

Ahh, crazy! Well the most I’ve seen are Auto BG and Stick ZB

Just confirmed with the dealer that this Alpine White M2 VIN# 3MF13DM08P8D14991 is their HEA allocation. According to the salesman, this will be demoed at the dealership for 30-60 days then offered to those on the list, if no takers then sold at MSRP. Any thoughts on the non-ZB color HEA? East coast btw.

BRAKE! · 02-06-2023, 08:49 AM

Personally wouldn’t do this as that seems like an awful lot of paperwork/applications and a very inefficient way to buy the car you want. But, you do you, I doubt any CA will turn you down if you say you’re essentially buying 2 cars.

Interesting, first HEA car we've seen that has a cognac interior too.

If anyone gets to see any of the HEA cars please post pics, especially of ones with features we have not already seen. AW with cognac is 2 options we haven't really seen yet. Not really ones I'd choose but an still super curious to see.
