Read my sig line.

You have zero leverage in price haggling too.

Funny you ask this question when you did. I had the dealer call me last night and tell me my car is in. Told him that I bought a different one in Dallas 3 months ago. Took them 5 months to get the car in. 3 different dealers all swore "Oh, we have a allocation, no problem..." Each one could not produce a order status of 2500 or bettter within 2 months of me handing them money. Told the third one that I was not going to give him any money until he produced an order status of 2500. Never did. So I never went back. Flew to Dallas and bought one of the lot. Got a sunroof and polished wheels I didnt want, but I got my car when I wanted it.

I think the biggest question is finding the right dealer if you are going to order one. CamaroScotty or BeckyD@Rogerschevrolet would be the best.
