All of the dealerships will be finding out what their allotments are going to be soon. If you are going to place an order with a dealer, and give a deposit to hold your spot, make sure that they have enough vehicles alloted to cover their initial orders.

If not, you very well could place an order, and have your deposit cashed, and have to wait 6 months or longer for your vehicle, while there are Camaros on the ground at larger dealerships.

I would imagine that all dealers will get around 5 Camaros to start with no matter what size the dealership is. After that, it will depend on the size of the dealership.

For example, the Traverse is not supposed to go to dealerships until the end of Oct, however we got one in today. Pretty cool too!

Cool. They must have moved up production. We were told in a meeting that everyone would be getting one the end of Oct. Maybe they meant the end of Sept? I saw that our main competitor has one as well.

Now if they could only do the same for the Camaro, that would be great!

We are the largest Chevy dealer in the midwest. We are sitting at #3 in new cars sold over the last 3 months. We had 70-75 people on our initial list wanting info to order a Camaro.

We now have deposits for 26 coupes and 10 verts. I know of another dealer who has already taken 70 deposits and they are not in the top 250 Chevy dealers in the nation. They might be lucky to get 70 Camaro's all year!

I feel sorry for anyone who is near the middle of that list, as they will probably have to wait until the end of the Summer to get their car!

Ron,
Just so you know, You really are going to be the #1 order.
Just a soon as we get allocation information from Chevrolet you will be notified and then we will also get the PEG group, which is just the order that lets us know Colors, options,Pricing...etc...
I will let you know the day I get that.

Your Salesman

That was an e-mail I just got from my salesman. #1 on list.

I hope he's right. He said he didn't know of any other launch from Chevy that they did not get priceing when they got PEG info. We will see. He is going to a regional meeting for the Traverse launch in Seattle on the 10th and expect's they may share some more info on that day about the Camaro since it's just 3 days before orders taken.

That's just a guess, not trying to start anything.

Am I reading this stuff right? There will be Camaro's being released to some dealerships as a prop/display within the next month?
