Mikeb, I was wondering if you have changed your earlier stance that, given a selection of cars built during various months, selecting an earlier-built car (for example, a July car) is just fine when a car built two months later (for example, a September car) is available.:D

I ended up buying from Long Beach Mazda two days later ($700 over invoice). Never heard back from Galpin after my test drive. Oh well, they lost a sure sale with me.

If I had taken an August car, I would be included in one of the recent recalls (the insulator one). As a result of going with the September car, I was LUCKY to narrowly miss that recall.

I still can't believe a dealership had a June car on the lot in September. They would have lost all their dealer holdback (2%) with it sitting on the lot that long.

I wondered about the holdback as well.
