Has anyone found their car listed in the Dealer inventory before it arrived? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Decided to check my dealer's inventory to see if they got any Camaros recently, and what did I find???

My Car Listed, I almost crapped myself.

So I asked them using the IM pop up guy, if they had the car there, he said no. It was listed only because they had the invoice,

Worry not, Scourage. Dealer websites are (often) being driven automagically by the information that gets fed into their systems. This happened to me. I freaked out and when I noticed it, it was 11pm on a Friday. Next morning, I was on the phone with my Rep and stopped by later that day for good measure.

From what I found out/now understand, the Dealer cannot list inventory on their website until the/a VIN is actually allotted to them and eventually heading that way. I say "eventually heading that way" instead of "scheduled" because it does not mean the car is in transit. That said, it's almost a good sign (although a bit disconcerting) as it does mean your car is real, it's really been made, and it's really gonna make it to you... eventually.. depending on anything that may/may not happen with QC, etc.
