I've been in the market for a new GM 2500 for the last few weeks and I'm having a hard time even finding a gas one to test drive. The dealers around here are selling them as fast as they come in. I talked to a salesman one day and before I could even get out there the next day the one I was going to look at was sold. One of the dealers told me that there are plenty of them someplace in OH but due to their size they can only ship them 1 or 2 at a time on the haulers which is making deliver very slow. How true that is I don't know but it sounds plausible.
If this is the case, perhaps have the salesman your talking to do a dealer search to see where the trucks are at and then call that dealer directly. If several OH dealers have trucks, see where and if all are within a decent proximity to each other, maybe worth a road trip after talking to them. Or you could go another route and use Autotrader, type in what you are looking for within "X" miles (maybe a good idea to go beyond that "X" just to see what's out there) which is essentially what your local dealer is doing.
The problem is they show as being on the lot, but sell before you get there. I had the same problem, saw the one listed on the dealers lot, called and they said sure come on down, when i got there it was gone. They probably knew that and had me come in anyway then tried to see me other **** i didnt want. So , be weary of the salesman. Took me a while to find mine, but i did get it early and for a good price. Now , its probably way harder to do that. I looked around here in nj and just saw work trucks or the higest end models.
