COURTESY DELIVERIES<br />
Prior to requesting shipment of a new<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> car to another <strong>Cadillac</strong> dealer in the<br />
United States for "Courtesy Delivery", consent<br />
must be obtained by the selling dealer,<br />
preferably in writing, from the dealer who is<br />
to receive the car for delivery. A specific release<br />
is to be obtained for each car involved. An<br />
agreement for one or the first car will not constitute<br />
blanket courtesy delivery approval of<br />
subsequent or additional vehicles.<br />
After such permission is granted, complete<br />
arrangements should be made and delivery instructions<br />
furnished to the delivering dealer<br />
including the following:<br />
1. On New Car Order form 5600A state that<br />
approval of dealer to whom shipment is to<br />
be made has been secured. Furnish name<br />
of individual giving such approval.<br />
2. In spaces captioned (B) SHIP TO CODE<br />
insert correct dealer code number, dealer<br />
name and city. This is most important, as<br />
a single incorrect digit may cause the vehicle<br />
to be shipped to a wrong destination.<br />
3. Furnish in writing to the dealer who is to<br />
make the courtesy delivery the following<br />
minimum information:<br />
74<br />
a) Car Specifications: A copy of the 5600A<br />
Order Form or complete specifications.<br />
b) Customer Contact: Customer name and<br />
address—both home and business—also<br />
telephone number if available. If this is<br />
not available, advise where customer<br />
can be reached.<br />
c) Delivery Dote: Estimate of customer<br />
arrival or delivery date.<br />
d) Service Instructions: List of any extra<br />
equipment to be installed or special<br />
services performed prior to delivery.<br />
e) Financial: All financial transactions are<br />
to be directly between the participating<br />
dealers and not through third parties.<br />
It shall be the selling dealer's responsibility<br />
to remit to the delivering dealer<br />
the suggested delivery and handling<br />
charges, plus any other expenses which<br />
may be incurred in the process of making<br />
the courtesy delivery.<br />
f) Collections: Any money to be received<br />
from the customer is to be for the account<br />
of the selling dealer or delivering<br />
dealer and not any other parties.<br />
g) Registration: Advise if license plates<br />
will be furnished or are they to be<br />
secured by delivering dealer. Such arrangements<br />
to be made in advance<br />
whenever possible to prevent delay<br />
when the car is ready.<br />
h) Sales Tax: Clarify the sales tax responsibilities<br />
according to the various state<br />
laws that may be involved. Establish a<br />
clear understanding as to who will<br />
make such payment.<br />
i) Insurance: Customer should be reminded<br />
of insurance coverage.<br />
j) Storage Charges: In case unexpected<br />
delays are encountered in delivery,<br />
storage charges may be incurred that<br />
will be the obligation of the selling<br />
dealer.<br />
Acceptance of a car for delivery on a courtesy<br />
basis is an accommodation that entails<br />
responsibilities which the selling dealer should<br />
faithfully discharge in order to facilitate and<br />
expedite the registration, handling and "courtesy"<br />
delivery of the car.<br />
