My dealer still cannot change my order - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

detroitboy · 11-26-2008, 08:20 PM

I tried to change my order yesterday to get the polished wheels on the SS/RS package and the option still got rejected.

So don't give up yet. I'd guess that not all dealers have done their software updates yet(?). I'll try again in a couple weeks. Does anyone know when the last date is to make changes in what we want to order?

i want the polished wheels on my ss/rs too but then i realized the car wont be a true RS/SS without the midnight silver wheels

i really dont know what to do....

blazzin1 · 11-26-2008, 08:44 PM

At least ya'll are able to place an order! My dealer said they are not accepting any type of "preliminary" orders! They said they are only being allocated 2 Camaro's from the initial production (small town dealer), and they are going to hold some kind of home made "draw names from a hat" to see who gets to order the two Camaro's to their specifications. What a bunch of B.S.! You would think any customer walking in wanting to place an order would be welcome business!!! Guess I'll have to go to a "participating" dealership to order mine!

Curious 4Life, why do you say it wouldn't be a true RS/SS?

Blazzin, I would go shop around at some other dealers. If you search, there is a thread about MSRP dealers that are Camaro friendly. Not sure where you are from in MD, but there are VA dealers who people have had good experience with. Shop around, it will be worth your time.

franknbeans · 11-26-2008, 09:12 PM

It actually will be a true RS/SS. . . The option is from the factory thus it can not be considered not a true RS/SS.

Hey Detroit, I am having the same problems and my Dealer is not able to change my order to the polished mags also!! I tried a second time today.....crap!!

camaropete · 11-26-2008, 09:12 PM

Oh and just a general statement about changing the order to include the polished wheels, there is another post that said GM is going to try to make the change (as well as the blue) globally tomorrow while all the dealers are closed. I am sure if you watch the threads on Friday and next week, people will have some indications whether it worked or not.

Your dealer is an idiot.

Yeah, I've read it a few times before and it still makes me laugh.

taz · 11-27-2008, 12:01 AM

I was able to add polished wheels to my order today! What my dealer had to do was actually call someplace on the mainland and placed the order over the phone.

wlvrine · 11-27-2008, 12:19 AM

anybody seen any good pics of these wheels???

detroitboy · 11-27-2008, 03:10 AM

Fbodfather had said originally that the system would be changed after thanksgiving, but some buyers started posting that they made their changes this week so I figured all the dealers systems had been updated.

As usual....fbodfather had the correct information

jimbo57 · 11-27-2008, 05:29 AM

mine was done on tues of this week. had to change it over the phone. it worked.

NAHURRY · 11-27-2008, 08:20 AM

Camaroscotty has told us we should be able to make the change Friday(after Thanksgiving

First of all, Thanks for protecting me as I sleep at night! My family appreciates your sacrifice.

Find a dealer to work with and you can have the car drop shipped to your local dealer. It doesn't go against their "allocation" and you get your car. I have heard the local dealer isn't forced to participate, but it is rare if they don't.

I agree with you there, they wont be the original RS wheels.the pollished is a upgrade to any of the models, midnight silver is the true RS wheel.Dont know how it will affect value of car down the road? My opinion get what u wont ,both being from factory, u cant go wrong, dont think the value will be that much between the 2 in 30 years, just my thoughts.

teamlynn1 · 11-27-2008, 10:55 AM

I am able to change my customers orders on there Camaro's your dealer didnt dig deep enough. A phone call to the DBC would have handled it. He should be able to do it through order workbench Friday 11/28/08. It really is embarrassing how many "dealers" are not up to snuff on how to run there core business which is selling vehicles to customers. I guess its no wonder so many are going tits up during this economic downturn. I think there are only 3 of us that work in dealerships in this site who have spoken up, I would have thought there would have been 100 or more in here trying to better understand there customers needs on such an important vehicle to there portfolio. Oh well.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Let the eating begin!!!

Bravo!!

You hit the nail on the head Bobby. This process has allowed myslef to really see how much loss in productivity is out there when it comes to selling GM cars. It seems cluelessness is the norm when it comes to salesman. If they are this dumb selling Camaros, they are this dumb selling every other GM product.
