We then scheduled a time to pick it up (much like I do with a car dealer). On that day--it took a bit because it was February and we had a quick thaw followed by a quick freeze thus the 5th wheel was frozen in ice--I had to call and cancel, and then call back to see if they could still do the purchase. Thus we started our purchase process several hours late and they still took the time to walk through everything. (As a side note it is really funny looking at a F-350 4x4 hooked to a 5th wheel spinning all 4 wheels trying to free the 5er from the ice that is holding it prisoner.)
In short: It took us a complete day to purchase our Axis; we really didn't care how soon the appointment was to pick it up as it was February and we weren't going to go camping with it for a few months. In contrast, for the last car I picked up (the C-Max in my signature), it took about 45 minutes from the time I walked in the door to the time I drove the car home (granted I've purchased all of our cars for the last 20 years or so from this one dealership).

Both times we purchased units that were on the lot. Both times we had to come back (read more than 100 miles each way) several days later to take delivery. Is this a normal way to do business? If so, one would wonder why.
