I'm looking at getting a Camaro and I want it by end of December, When should I order a 2013 to get it by then? nothing wrong with a 2012 on the lot but the touchscreen in 2013s won me over in a heartbeat, other then I can get it without all the junk I dont want!

I asked the dealer to place the order on 6/18/12... I'll pick it up tomorrow 8/15/12. From what I have seen on here two months is about right. I would order in September just to make sure I get it by December. (ZL1 seems to take longer... and my dealer couldn't place an order for one)

Don't

me up if it doesn't work out that way though. Becky is a good bet to fill you in with the best information.

Good luck!

That question is little more complicated to answer than one might think at first.

An order can be placed by a customer at a dealership at anytime. However, just because an order has been placed at a dealership does not mean that an order will progress beyond the initial placement stage (status 1100). An order will not progress and will stay at status 1100 until the dealer uses an available allocation to submit the order and the order has been accepted by General Motors (status 2000). Therefore, if a dealership does not have an available allocation to use, or if an order is not accepted by General Motors for any reason, such as if an item on the order is on constraint and not available at the time the order is submitted, the order will not move forward.

Certain vehicles, such as ZL1s and possibly 1LEs, have a limited number of available allocations, and many dealers may not have any allocations to submit for those vehicles for quite a period of time. Therefore, be sure to find out whether the dealer has an available allocation for you for the vehicle that you want to order.

A more straight forward question to answer is how long does it take from the time an allocation for an order is submitted by the dealer and accepted by General Motors (status 2000) and when the vehicle is delivered to the customer (status 6000).

In general, based on past deliveries, it appears that approximately eight weeks is a reasonable estimate for the time required from when an order is accepted by General Motors (status 2000) and when the vehicle is actually delivered to the customer (status 6000).

so what? I need to ask them if they have an allocation to even submit my order now :O

If you want to order a vehicle that has a limited number of allocations (such as a ZL1 Coupe, ZL1 Convertible, or possibly 1LE), it would be a good idea to inquire about available allocations. If the vehicle that you are interested in ordering has a relatively large number of allocations, then availability is not likely to be a significant problem. However, either way, it can't hurt to inquire about allocation availability.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think that there should be an issue with a dealer having available allocations for 2SS L99 Coupes. It can't hurt to inquire with your dealer, however.
