ZL1 allocation

I heard something interesting. A dealer around here said they have 5-7 allocations and that once they get them sold they will get more. He told me that other dealers are just playing a game to drive up prices. He's even willing to sell me one at MSRP.... I dont think this guy would lie to me but I don't know . How untrue does this sound? And what are your thoughts about him telling me this. He did sell my 2ss in 09 at MSRP while every
One else had a premium on it.

It very well can be true and probably is however, he will not get more until 2013. only 800 are being built this year and with it already being a short production year, it is impossible for him to get more 2012 MY's. That probably will be sometime in July of next year when those will start to be built.

allocations

His dealership either got 5, 6, or 7 allocations...they should have an exact number already, not an estimate. As far as getting more allocations in the future..we should all get them eventually but from my understanding they will start again with the 2013 model production. All allocations for 2012 (limited run through June) should be the allocations which were just delivered. GM has already stated that some dealerships wont receive any at all. Not saying your guy wrong...just saying that is what we have been told here. We are also a strict MSRP only dealership and have already given out our 2 allocations. Hope this helps!

Cool thanks! I can't decide if I should get one . Not having a price idea is a killer.

GT2, did you receive an updated order guide that listed the Exposed Hood Insert or Crystal Red paint as being available?

Has a 2012 ZL1 Coupe model year production run of only 800 units been officially confirmed, and if so, what is the source, or this just more hearsay that is often spread on Camaro5?

Where did you get the number at 800 units. maybe they will make more? GM is in the buisness to make money. If there is a demand they will be more than happy to supply...$$$. On that note they will probably start making the 2013s early in the second quarter of next year!

I had heard a number of 3,000 units for the 2012 model year which is less than 1 per dealership in the US. Your dealer should know exactly how many (if any) they received. My dealership received 2 allocations the first of which belongs to me (if I end up being able to take it).

I should of said wether or not it was from a valid source, im sorry... This was from my dealer telling me and it was posted on here from another dealer that only 800 were being made for MY 2012.

So, Let us all take what I said with a grain of salt
