VON Tracking & RAM Status Codes

[SportyJames]

Well I can tell you whatever you do, do NOT trust anything they say at calallen or the lithia of corpus. They still can't produce anything proving a truck was ever ordered. I think they took my order and a deposit and just hoping that they get another allocation, They are liars.... I called the other dealer that I bought my viper from and ordered a truck at MSRP not a penny more and got a VON sent while I was on the phone. They want 5K over MSRP here on a truck they didn't even have.. EVERYONE STAY AWAY from Lithia dealers around here...

I have always used Allen Samuels in AP. Great people there. No BS ever.

Their allocations are spoken for already. But give them a try in the future.

The dealer either has an allocation or not. Some in my state wanted people to put a 1k deposit to wait inline just incase they get an allocation. I called around and found a dealer out of state that was able to put my order in the same day and give me a VON

I agree however it is my understanding that you can get a VON even if the dealer doesn't have an allocation for it. The VON only means they entered the order into FCA's order system. My dealer only had allocation for 1 and it was spoken for, I still put a deposit on one and placed the order so that if and when they do get there next allocation, mine should go right into line. My dealer gave me my VON the next morning. My order status is still at BG.

This guy that can't get a VON out of the dealer, I think has some red flags going on there. If you give them a deposit they should be able to print you a build sheet and give you the VON for it.

The fact they are asking him for a second color choice, sounds like they are planning to try and find one on a dealer locate at some point rather then attempt to order it for him.

This is just my experience. I walked into a dealer and my salesman had no idea what a TRX was, he was a new salesman that came over from Chevy, this was on 21 August. I had to speak with the sales manager about what I was looking for. I told him what my build was and he entered the data for me. As we were talking I asked about if they received any allocations and he told me they did not have enough sales to qualify for allocations but the orders were being processed as they received them. My take from that was that this dealer could not get any TRX's unless a customer ordered one or that they had to wait their turn, hence the build priority 99. I put in my $1,000.00 deposit and they printed off my order sheet which had my VON printed on it and listed the status as BA. I called FCA after the weekend and the status was in BG, with a priority of 01, and that is where it is at today. So this is just my take, customer orders will be prioritized over non-allocated dealer orders but some dealers will get prioritized orders if they have enough sales clout. Once again, just my take.

Yes sir

 

[KnightMare]

Dealer told me I'm in BG status and should hopefully get a VIN next week. Says only 1 vehicle got a VIN out of their 5 allocations so far

I'm not trying to rub it in guys. I got my VIN sent to me by my dealer on Aug 28th, roughly 9 days after putting my order in. I'd stay on them, they can definitely get that information for you, as long as they put the order in. Good luck out there!

I also ordered 18th and got my VIN on the 28th!
