Crnr2Crnr Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Due to top end parts shortage and supply chain woes, customers can opt to cancel their orders or gamble with an 8000 for a $2000 upcharge, blah blah blah, I'm making this all up but in truth they are way behind on production and I felt like setting out a little bait.

Tripleflipper Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I'm surprised Cat didn't pull gauge inventory from the 2012 parts bin. They would fit like a glove with no mods required. Surely to God there would be 10 gauges in the bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nop they are shipped and still sitting at deers across the snow belt waiting on parts. But at least they were shipped so the clock can start on the dealers showroom financing contract . Just a little extra inch up the dealers ass just to see how it feels 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They at least took steps to attempt to avoid this. Obviously shit can still happen. You're one to talk (like always), should I find all your quotes again how you said it was bad business to limit orders? You're a joke.
