Call Becky. I was sitting in status 1100 for 10 weeks and was about to cancel my order and deal with Becky when my original order finally got accepted by GM. She was very helpful and understanding when I kept my original order.

I was number 3 on the list, there were four allocations. I was guaranteed one of these with my order going in no later than yesterday (I guess in case 2 allocation came in on the 17th instead of one a week like I assumed) Of those four, I received none. The allocation they received yesterday was apparently available for any Camaro model, so instead of mine, they chose to order another SS placed after mine. Honestly, I believe that they probably didn't order a customer car, but bumped mine so they could get a SS for dealer stock. I bet they did this twice, since someone else should have been getting that fourth allocation, not me.
At this point, I wonder how many times I have been bumped in the past. Quote:

I honestly don't know how the dealer can look you in the eye and explain why they would put number 4 in front of number 3 if your order was a buildable order.
You really shouldn't allow that BS to go on. It's not right. Yes, I am a dealer.

I'm sorry to hear all these horror stories. There are good dealers on this site and fortunately a thread with the bad dealers. I can understand why dealers get a bad rep when you hear this stuff. If anyone needs anything, call.

UPDATE
Well, I thought I would share an update with everyone. First off, I can't say enough about the number of helpful personal messages and positive comments I have received to my plight. If you sent me a message and I didn't respond to you directly, I apologize - I was trying to keep up with them and work through this today at the office and just didn't have the time. I truly wish I knew months ago what I know now, because I'd be in a car instead of reordering one.
I am at 1100 again, but am excited to see that number knowing that it will soon change. I placed an order this afternoon for the second time in just over three months. Who would have guessed it would be so hard to part with $30k? I would like to thank Becky Doyle at Rodgers Chevrolet in Woodhaven, MI. Becky knows her stuff, was no-nonsense, and treated me how we all wish to be treated as customers. Its been a great experience so far, and I am sure Ill be happy with the process here on out. She was able to get me in line for next weeks allocation at a price I could only dream of when I ordered locally. I looks like the delivery will be handled locally for a nominal fee, and thats something I can live with. After receiving the workbench via email, I notified my local dealer that I was canceling my order and wanted them to cut me a check for my deposit. Ill go Monday to pick it up. My salesman actually thought to ask me why I was canceling. To paraphrase my pleasant response, Really, after what happened yesterday, do I need to explain it? More on that after I pick up the check, but needless to say, I am not planning to let this go unnoticed. Id also like to thank Anna Bearinger from Sparta Chevrolet in Sparta, MI. She helped get the ball rolling for me, but unfortunately I wasnt able to wait for the upcoming allocations there due to my personal situation (every little bit helps). She gave me a lot of insight into some of the finer details of the process and has a well-earned reputation for honesty in my opinion. Funny how you meet the nicest people after a disaster! To all of the others who contacted me, again, I truly appreciate your effort and know that there are many on this forum that will be well served by you. The dealer-enthusiast who frequent this site are a credit to Chevrolet and dealers in general. I'd recommend all of the ones who made an effort to contact me - they're easy to find... look around the site, they're already here. This isn't my first rodeo with new car buying (this Camaro marks my 5th new one in 5 years), but it has certainly be the one I'll learn the most from. More now than ever, I appreciate those dealers and salespeople who get it. I hope that more dealers emulate this customer-service oriented way of doing business in the future. Quote:

Congrats on getting the car you wanted ordered post pics when she arrives The best part is a great dealership and sales person on this site was able to take care of you it's salespeople & dealerships like Becky, Scott, Tom, ect... who understand us "Camaro nuts" and what we are looking for and the no the no BS approach they take. I will say it again when the time is right next year one of these fine dealerships will be getting my order.

Name the Dealership, Salesman, and Sales Manager
My guess is scum bag Sales Manager with scum bag owner. If you get time go make a scene when they are busy with potential 60 day trial customers.

Way to go bhut! I'm so glad you walked away from that BS dealer. We're so lucky to have this forum and the great dealers associated with it to fix these types of abuses.

That sucks! Most dealers are lying a$$holes. Good luck searching for another car. You may end up just wanting to go with a different dealer. Do you really want them to get the sale at this point? I wouldn't give a dealer like that the sale.
