ALL MAY ORDERS - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Silver Surfer · 08-09-2009, 01:19 PM

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..

myold88 · 08-09-2009, 01:41 PM

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.

Brian2SS/RS · 08-09-2009, 02:13 PM

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

MisterT · 08-09-2009, 02:27 PM

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

mikel441 · 08-09-2009, 02:28 PM

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.

slacker · 08-09-2009, 02:32 PM

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, 02:37 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, 04:54 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!!

Silver Surfer · 08-09-2009, 04:55 PM

R1Ecko i order from Eric W.. i called the 1 800 number back on July 13... they gave me me order number n told me to contact the dealer. so i did n Eric said im in the 90's.. he told me that they have 2 batches coming out n AUG.. on with 50 somethin n another that will have i think i was 60 so i should be in one of those batches he said...

Silver Surfer · 08-09-2009, 05:02 PM

AGldnGrl · 08-09-2009, 06:02 PM

Ordered mine 5/8/09 thru Boemler Chevrolet in Imperial MO...been sitting at 4D since 7/13/09..

hdslew43 · 08-09-2009, 06:46 PM

Ordered May 2, built July 25, shipped July 28, hope to have car any day now.

jkelly · 08-09-2009, 08:01 PM

I ordered may 18 before I knew anything about allocations. I found out about this web site from my sales rep. I asked about allocations and they kind of gave me the run around. said they got a different amount every month? Anywway I was #5 on the still not accepted by gm list 2wks ago then last week i was #3 so I guess they are moving.I saw the spastic squirrel site but don't knows how to just look up my dealer, Any clues?

me too but sometimes I really wonder.

Leihman · 08-09-2009, 10:20 PM

I know when I was placing my order with Vara Chevrolet (San Antonio, TX) I made sure to ask if they had any open allocations left! I was shopping around for about 2 weeks back in May also in the San Antonio area. I was told by classic that they had about 60 people on there waiting list! So I moved on! Just ask what number you are in the queue. If you are still not getting one of the next cycle of allocations move to another dealer.

eapoll11 · 08-10-2009, 12:13 AM

I ordered a day before you and am plannign to take delivery this week hopefully...i ordered from a larger dealer..its all about allocation...just look at my sig

CamaroCarly · 08-10-2009, 03:32 AM

So you should probably call your dealer to get to the bottom of this. I would ask the dealer if they have in fact gotten an allocation and actually ordered your car. If he/she has orded your car you should have an order number. How do you know you are sitting at 1100? I know that not all salesmen are assholes but they are out there and they will tell you anything if they think it will get you to buy a car from them. I was lucky and my dealer, who is wonderful by the way, had an allocation when I ordered mine. I ordered it on July 25th and I am already at 3000 and scheduled to build 8/24. I'm sorry you are having to wait so long...it's not an easy feat!!

Skyblu · 08-11-2009, 03:29 PM

I ordered mine on memorial day and got it 8/1. They told me when I ordered it would be 4-12 weeks, my dealer had a big allocation and continue to get them in for the lot as well. They are the only chevy dealer in my area out of 4 that can even get them.

llevan22 · 08-11-2009, 04:01 PM

I assume you're talking about Classic in Grapevine? I went there in May to see about ordering my Camaro and they said September/October at the earliest. Didn't feel like waiting that long, so I tried Bankston Chevrolet in Dallas and my car should be here this week. Shipped on the 31st.

BigMatt · 08-11-2009, 04:01 PM
