This is my first post, and I will keep it as much to the point as possible to avoid verbal B.S.

I will try not (it’s tough) to gripe too much about allocations, VONs, and VINs. I went through all that in 09 when I ordered and bought my other car.

6 months of anger and frustration, “YOU ALL KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!”

Now for my question.

I am hoping to put an order in for a ZL1 in the next couple of months and just wanted some input on build and wait times.

If it took 2 months, 8 months, or in-between before you got your wheels let me know. I just want to get an idea how long it will take to get this car if I put an order in (if I can even get one).

Thanks

search around at different dealerships, there are two ZL1's for sale at dealerships here.

I waited about 7 months

Sorry, I bought mine straight off the lot the day it showed up. We were there picking up a crystal red 12' ss for the wife and they showed me three zl1's that were unloaded that day, an all black vert, crystal red and ashen gray. Guess I lucked out.

I grew up in Port Arthur in the /60s, ernie. Welcome to C5.
My wait from first order (two dealerships were ultimately involved) to delivery was 11 months.

There are 8 Zl1s on the showroom floor at Q Chevy.

Which 2? I know Hurd has a black one for $57,700 ish............

I ordered my ZL1 Jan 1, 2012. It was delivered Nov 1, 2012.

crustychev · 01-10-2013, 08:14 AM

I am located in Marathon 3 hours from you and have been at this since May11/12 with two different dealers. I currenty have one on order with a Thunder Bay GM dealer (with an allocation of 1 unit) since Aug.15/12 and don't even have a build date yet. Good Luck!

Dvjason · 01-10-2013, 08:24 AM

14 months I tried to get one before my local dealer finally got 1 allocation and from order to delivery was 10 weeks. Just find a dealer that doesn't play Bullsh$&t games because it is what it is when it comes to availability on these.

DRKS1D3 · 01-10-2013, 09:04 AM

Search Ebay, Cars.com, etc.. You'll be able to find one easily. They are all over, just find a dealer that won't jerk you around.

razorz28 · 01-10-2013, 09:25 AM

Mine took 6 months; there was no anger or frustration, just impatience. If waiting is going to make you angry then do not order, buy one on a lot.

Rubble2240 · 01-10-2013, 10:36 AM

Do a search of dealerships, there are ZL-1's sitting on the floor. I can't imagine having to wait so long. I searched....found one I liked and went to the Dealer. Left with it the next day!
