Called my dealer on Monday, but they were not accepting orders because they didn't have final pricing or paperwork from GM. Has anybody else run into this??

Maybe you called too early or maybe they didn't subscribe to the IDL.

Find a new dealer. This one is out of the loop.

I cringe whenever someone says "my dealer". I'm all for loyalty when loyalty is earned, but these dealers aren't earning a lot of loyalty points in my book. Due to issues unrelated to Camaros, I will not be buying my Camaro from the dealer I bought my Cobalt from. They lost my business and any dealer that wants it (and in the LA area, there are more than you could visit in a month) will have to give me a good price. Then again I'm waiting a few years so that shouldn't be too hard.

When I say "my dealer", I am talking about a dealer that I have purchased all of my GM products from, including all of my company trucks. They have always given the best price (yes I compare), and gotten many things fixed under warranty that probably shouldn't have been covered (mostly clutches).

I say "my dealer" because they work with me and this is the third car I have bought from them. The owner himself called me a couple times last week to make sure everything was right on my order. He wanted to make sure we were talking about the same thing and make sure I got what I wanted and to make sure I wan't getting something I didn't want. That's a gesture many dealers or owners won't do. That's why I call them "My Dealer."

Great if you have a dealer that treats you well. I find it odd that so many people have had stories of a dealer totally screwing them over, and they still call them "my dealer".
