I suspect you are right, the dealers hold sway over the orders and that is how they make their money.

That is totally BS, for anyone or dealer who paid any sort of franchise fee.

Well, even if you buy it through SAI, you still have to have someone to finish the roller and get it road worthy, etc. That is where a good dealer comes in, since SAI can't do any of that.

Not the dealer. Installers are separate from the dealer in most cases. They may have a business relationship but you can use one without the other. |

I guess, but I chose DenBeste because they could do it all, buy it, engines, setups, finishing, tuning, etc. I guess most dealers can't? |

Are there not rules for California SB100 that prohibit the seller of a component vehicle from also installing the power train? I'd heard they now check and double check the business relationships to insure they are different businesses. So if, for example, "Company X" sells a roller and installs the power train to someone in Maine, that car would likely have trouble in California.

I have spoken with all SAI CSX US dealers and no one will do the install/service the car/warranty work/etc. on a car that was bought from "Shelby Direct" -
I will not take the responsibility of the install and all that goes with it after SAI sells the car and walks away from it at the factory door

Interesting, so I guess the SAI Direct order is dead on arrival. Unless someone does it and doesn't understand no one will touch it, those people will have a problem. |

I believe it is against the law for a component vehicle manufacturer to complete the vehicle into a complete with drivetrain vehicle, said vehicle would have to comply with all EPA, safety laws and crash tests of the country that it was being sold to. I am also aware of component vehicle sellers "referring" customers to drivetrain installers who just happen to be son-in-laws to the component vehicle seller, keeping the whole process within the family.
