Every order goes through this same process. That's why you see guys who submitted a "consensus order" in October still waiting for their cars. By the way, a consensus order is only a way for people to raise their hand and tell GM they will be ordering a car when that is possible. The Camaro was the first time GM let customers actually put their name on a consensus order. GM didn't actually start accepting orders until February 09. No one actually "ordered" a car until then.
I went to the dealer -small dealer in feb and gave them my money down they said they will order it when the have an allotment for it and that my car is 6th- they have 12 allotments. I dont have a number or anything. Is this normal or am getting screwed over?
