1SS/RS On Order 5/27/2009 · 06-15-2009, 02:58 PM

I originally ordered through a dealer on May 27,2009 who told me they had allocations left. I placed my $1000.00 deposit down and I got all the required paperwork together as far as MSRP and the rest of it..The dealer told me my vehicle was ordered.. New to the process I was unaware of the order number..It is now June 15, 2009 and I contacted my dealer who stated the salesman I was dealing with is on vacation. I talked to the sales manager and asked him for my order number for tracking purposes, he told me they did not have any allocations and he would call me when one becomes available. I stated to him that I was told by him that the car was ordered and he corrected my in telling me that it was not.

..HUH???? I have been one of the patient ones who have allowed time to pass without driving my dealer nuts. I understand fellow Camaro owners have waited a long time for thier forever cars!!! I am willing to wait, but when I hand someone $1000.00 for a deposit, they tell me its ordered and then 2 weeks later, to be told that they did not have any allocations is just pure

I am getting ready to spend close to 40K for my forever car and this is how GM wants me to remember this process!!!

I am ready to order from another dealer, is that the right move? Thanks to you all that have gone through this before, now its my turn, I guess. Any dealers out there that want my business???? Looking for one that is upfront and no smoke machines!!! Heading up to Indiana/Michigan at the end of July beginning of Aug...will pick up and drive home...will only pay MSRP... Are there any out there???? Waiting patiently for my forever car...You all be safe, don't mean to be

go to another dealer and watch like a HAWk to makes sure you have an order within days! my order number was a 6 letter code, no numbers.

ordered 4/17 and at stage 3400 as of 6/5.

I'm sorry, did you say 'one of the patient ones'? It's only been 2.5 weeks, just relax. Try waiting since October...

If your dealer has allocations, you should get your order number the same or next day after you place your order.

Thank you

faninc · 06-15-2009, 03:26 PM

As my good friend "67 convertible" said...should be the same day the dealer inputs/submits the order. Placed my order with deposit on a friday, they entered in the system on Saturday and called me that day with 6 letter code.

Very happy so far with Gearhart Chevy in NJ. Hopefully no surprises when it gets close to coming in?

Good Luck
J

I got an order number right on the spot, even though had to wait for allocation and was given a copy of the Workbench to take with me.

They may have allocation, but not "consensus" yet to submit it for production. The allocation period runs through the end of September and all "allocated" cars should be built by then. Consensus to submit occurs monthly thorughout the cycle.

mikriman · 06-15-2009, 04:16 PM

So what does it mean if you order# has numbers in it????

Does it mean allocation and all letters mean Consensus ???

ironpeddler · 06-15-2009, 04:52 PM

Make sure you can get your deposit back before you place another oder elsewhere, i know from experience some dealerships are reluctant to give your deposit back.
