Dnt know about you but, ive been keeping up with ppl on the site. Tracking when they ordered their cars and when i placed mine. Ive came across several case where mine was ordered around the same time as theirs and they have there cars already.. I placed my order back in MAY 26 and still im sitting at 1100. My salesrep says that it will be here sometime in Sept.. But i read somewhere on here that the time from GM accepting your order till the time you drive it off the lot is a avg. between 4-6 wks.. And were coming up on the mid way point of AUG.

Does anyone have any input that can help me.. o n i ordered from Classic in TX..

Your dealer apparently doesn't have an allocation for your car. At "2000, accepted by G.M." your car will start to move along. Until then it will sit in the dealer's sales managers desk drawer. Ask your dealer when he will be able to get you an allocation. If he will not tell you or refuses to answer it may be time to move on to another dealer.

Don't feel bad. I should have studied up on allocation. Still at 1100.

MisterT · 08-09-2009, 01:27 PM

I placed my order the after you placed yours and i am still at 1100 as well.. Your not alone

I ordered May 18th and still at 1100. Spoke to salesman last Monday and he said that we should have VIN in a couple of weeks. I think he was confused. When I ordered he said it would be late fall delivery. From looking at the spasticsquirrel he has 11 cars and may not have any allocations until the fall. Figures. Actually I think everyone is confused when it comes to predicting delivery dates.

I ordered 5/18 and it's on the way-- just showed up on spasticsquirrel today. My dealer did have allocations at the time, but it sat at 1100 for a long time. As stated, once it hits 2000 it seems to fly through. Most likely you are just in line for allocations.

Aequitas & Veritas · 08-09-2009, 01:37 PM

I ordered May 1st and it sat at 1100 for about 6 weeks. But last time I checked I was at 3400

Ordered mine at the same time and took delivery yesterday, sounds like an allocation issue at your dealer. Good Luck.

Silver surfer, I ordered from Eric at classic and I just went to 2000 last week. I ordered feb 13th. You need to call your salesperson and ask what allocation # you are. I was #97. There are some guys in the same position you are. Look in the regional threads for Texas and click on the classic grapevine thread to see where you stand. Hope this helps.
Oh and I'm looking at a early oct delivery so yours might be late oct or early November

Yes........ it will take between 6-8 weeks to "see"

your car from the time GM accepts the order for production.

I ordered May 9th & two weeks ago, my order was finally accepted for production by GM. Your dealer has to have an allocation for your order (for the month it is accepted) before they will accept it into production..

Your order would have had to have been accepted already for the car to arrive in Sept, I'm afraid.

Good luck.

I ordered 5/25..still at 1100..it's worth the wait..it's worth the wait..I just keep telling myself this.

twok9s4me · 08-09-2009, 03:54 PM

My dealer told me 12 to 14 weeks avg. He said maybe an outside chance of 10 if I was lucky. I just got a tpw of Aug 17. I think I ordered the 1st or second week in june so he's right on the money time wise. The dealer I talked to b4 this one told me 4 to 6 weeks. When I told Tom this he said it was highly unlikley and he would never guarentee it. I would find another dealer using this sight as a reference. Tom told me I got his last allocation. He is very honest. I did have a sales manager tell me that he probably wouldnt have another allocation available until late sept or oct b/c he had so many orders waiting. There are some honest dealers out there!!
