it is on page 16 of the VIN# thread....

I do think it is worthy of its own thread.... since dealer cars are for sale on ebay after only 1 week of production.... and over 14,000 sold orders waiting

..... but ..... delete if you must

Fair point.

That is disappointing.

You guys didnt think they were gonna build sold order cars back to back did you? I certainly hope not, this is the way it is and as far as I know always has been. Just be patient. Challenger guys went through the same thing btw.

I love the picture of the real LT model then they talk about 400 hp in the description, sheesh

[ChevyBoiSS]

Yeah.. that is a decent price however. Even if it is a 1SS, Auto, And RS package.. nice msrp price.

I'd rather have it the way I want it. I'll keep track of it though just out of curiosity and laugh my ass off if it goes for over sticker alot.

Actually the pre-ordering guide number was for what ever the dealerships wanted to use them for - through quarter #3 2009...meaning if they wanted lot cars, they could use it as such...They could order all lot cars, sold orders, or a mix of both.....it was up to the dealer.

Don't get too upset, I'm sure we'll see many many more listed soon from those EBay'ing dealer types.

I didn't realize that dealers could order stock cars yet ...

It seems like there was a thread that talked about the fact that the guide # orders had to be sold orders..... guess that turned out to be untrue.

Dealers could not "pre-order" cars. The pre-orders were for sold units only. However if the dealer chose, it could have used it's allocation for TRE cars rather than SRE's.

Dealers could also "Sold-order" cars under the names of friends and/or family members with full intentions of selling those cars to the highest offer once the car is delivered to the dealership.

I am sure MANY of the 14,000 pre-orders are actually cars spec'ed out by the dealer, NOT by a customer.

Perhaps, but when the weekly allocation opens, there is no distinction between a sold or stock order. Remember approximately 30% of dealers did not take advance pre-orders. Well here you go.
