Excellent! Did you order the Bumblebee style car pictured in your icon? Surprisingly few on the road yet, so it ought to keep heads on a swivel. Did you sell the Mustang or are you going to trade it?

Get it in this week and you could have it under the tree this year! Then you'd just need a couple stocking stuffers and you'd be set.
Mine's on the line this week. Hope to get it down here before turkey day. I'm looking forward to it, 5 months is long enough I think.

Got your order placed yet? The production has picked up, but 6-8 weeks from order date is still the norm from what I've seen. I'm hoping mid-Nov still.

How did the conversation with Tony go? Considering his good reputation, I expected better. I received a personal answer to my letter to GM from both the CEO (Henderson) and the VP of Chevrolet Global (Dewar). They were both appreciative of my persistence and thanked me for the letter - the VP was going to look into the disconnect at Lou Sobh. I wonder whether there will be any trickle-down action from it. Overall it made me feel better; good, prompt replies from the big boys shows that they are at least listening.
If you can get employee pricing through your grandfather, you'll be set. That's a good 2K off and combined with any other discounts should make this a great purchase for you. If you have a Navy FCU account, you can probably qualify for the USAA account and get another 750 cash off. That deal runs through Dec 31 I believe.

I saw your message from the other day and was wondering if you got your money back. Were you able to talk with Tony Coogle directly? No one was in the showroom when I showed up to pick my check up.
Hopefully you can get up there on an off day and get it. If family is involved, you can probably do the paperwork by fax and have one of them bring it down to you. Think your grandfather would mind tooling around in a new Camaro for a day?
I finally wrote up a letter to send to GM - addressed to Fritz himself. It's polite, but I doubt anyone could read it and think I was a happy camper.
Let me know how your re-order goes! If there's an allocation available, its only 6-8 weeks to the happy day.

Just wanted to give you an update. i emailed Terry Nelson and let him know i wanted to cancel my order. He told me that would be fine and that they can cut me a check. He also said I needed to let Tony Coogle know that I was canceling. So I emailed him Saturday, and I didn't hear back from him. I called the dealership to speak with him today and they said he was "gone for the day" so they left a message for him. I'll call back tomorrow and see what's what...

I did get my deposit back. I think they have more ability to keep it if your car was actually accepted (2000 status), but I imagine you can get it back. Start getting the run around from them? I figured your order would have been placed when I left, since you ordered two days after me and were probably right behind me in the allocation order.
Good luck with your order, I imagine you'll be happy you switched when the order codes start changing. After I placed my order with Becky from Rodgers Chevy, I went from 1100 to 3000 in 10 days. Already have a production week (10/19) and expect the car in the first two weeks of November.

whats up..
I was just curious, when you canceled your order did you lose your deposit. I remembered when I ordered, I was told its not refundable. There is a chevy dealer in North Alabama that is friends with my Grandfather. They've got open allocations and accept all discounts that I qualify for. I figured if I can't get my deposit back I may just about break even going somewhere else.

The sales manager for the dealer I am using outside of Detroit is out here. The member is "BeckyD@RodgersChevrolet". She's been absolutely great - she sends me email updates and calls with news, and she treats you right. Number is 734-676-9600, ask for Becky and tell her Brent sent you.
I went from 1100 last Friday to 2500 on Tuesday. Should have the car by mid-November.
I'm in grad school so I took advantage of college/supplier pricing. There's $500 off if you decline the 60 day return deal, and I should get another $750 for USAA membership. It ought to be around 2K total off before I pay the courtesy fee.

Thats sounds good. Thank you for the info. I am going to give them until December. If nothing materializes by then I will cancel and go elsewhere. I am giving them until that time to allow me enough time to make a decent down payment since I can't find anyone to buy my Mustang. Plus I just got engaged also so the fiance is trying to buy everything under the sun for the wedding! So the dealer you ordered from in Detroit is selling at MSRP and allowing discounts!? Thats pretty good. can I get their info from you if you don't mind?
