Getting run around from dealer for new car order...advice please

So on december 18th I ordered a 2012 BMW 640i from my local BMW dealer and i was told 6-8 weeks till the car is in my possession. I still had a car a that point and then I was going on vacation so I didn't really need a car. On dec 19th I texted him asking if the car was officially ordered and I was told yes. I just got back from vacation and I figured 23 days have gone by and I don't have that much longer to wait, only about 2-4 weeks. Now he tells me (after I had to call him) that he couldn't find an allocation for the car and that it still hasn't been ordered yet.

I'm furious to say the least and I don't have a car and do not think I can go another 6-8 weeks without a car if I do have to wait. I'm getting a good price and it's been locked in. So if I pull out of the deal I loose the car at that price.

So I'm thinking maybe the dealer just doesn't want to give me the car at that price anymore?

/rant

Any advice? Thoughts, suggestions?

Or they are giving your allocation to a higher paying customer. Go to a different dealer.

Can't go to a different dealer, they won't honer the price.

If you want another data point from a vetted dealer (got my E90 M3 from him), PM me.

I really like my new BMW dealer both sales and service, and I never thought that was possible.

It sounds like this dealer has no intention of honoring that price either...

Nothing to lose by inquiring elsewhere.
