I don't believe there's any way to check/verify to see if they have an allocation before you place the order, but once you place the order, they should give you the order number.
Once you have the order number, you can begin to track the order.
I don't recall the exact codes off the top of my head, but I believe that the order code will start out around 1000, then move to 1100 once the order has been accepted by GM, etc, etc. If your order remains at an early code for a long time, it's an indication that the order has been entered at the dealer, but the dealer hasn't used an allocation against the order yet.
Go to the 'ordering' forum on here, and you can look up all the codes to expect at each stage of the order/production/delivery process.
