However if they're coming through Buffalo I'd say the same would be occurring.

Why?

Bottle-necking.

Even by Rail, you'll get bottle-necking on the border. Plus there could be a snafu or two with customs themselves causing them to be hung up at the border. That was what me and the dealer I talked to surmised with what info we both had. At his best guess, they'd have their show vehicle by 4/30 along with maybe some of their allocated vehicles.

So yeah.

TLDR; Customs may be holding the vehicles back for some reason and it could be out of GM/Allied hands..
The are cars in the Buffalo area storage lot have already cleared customs. They are being staged there for distribution. Why they are being "held" there? Anybody's guess. My info says cars in that lot are headed to dealers starting Monday. I'm not holding my breath but that's what I was told.
