You should have received your order # when you ordered your car. Depending on how many "orders" your dealership has in front of you, it could be a long wait. I ordered on the 5th and was told September ish. That was before the 1 week shutdown , extra shifts, OT and additional allocations were announced so I don't think anyone really knows when to expect arrival. If your dealership was one that took more orders than they had allocations...........................

Gee whiz dude, Look what you have at home to keep your mind off the delivery until your dealer calls.

* Hello this is GM. You are number 20,000 to order a 2010 Camaro please step to the back of the line*

In all seriousness, I was told by my Dealer that their Workbench is only updated on Mondays. Of course, I live in Canada, and GM Canada works a bit different from the US version.

There is more info on Event Codes, Order Status and Dealer conversations than any other area... Check out this link first...

for the most part that is GREAT advice, because we want the car there ALMOST as bad as the folks that have ordered the car

after making sure the car has been ordered, in general we can't do much else but wait as well:(

I am from Canada. The guy who owns a dealership near me said if I ordered a new one now at current line speed it would take seven months. You guys over there get stuff before we do so it might not take that long for you. Mine have been built for a month. I still have not seen it.

...once every 4 weeks... so far

The most important thing is to make sure u get ur order # after u place it. Dont let the dealer jerk u!

When you first submit an order it is at 1100 status because it is a "preliminary order". All dealers have a certain number of allocations. The allocations get built in order...the dealership sets the priority status for the orders. When your order gets to #1 priority it will go into the build process and go through the 3000, 3300, 3400, etc, order codes that you have probably seen on this forum.

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?

Its gonna kill you everytime you contact your dealer for an event code update and they say it hasn't changed. Especially when weeks even months go by...

If you call and ask them for any info they have on your order they should be able to tell you something. Your order number ( for example: NDDGHV) and possibly what order code you are at (for example: 1100 preliminary order). My dealership has six allocations and only two are built. The third order is at 3300 and the fourth, fifth, and sixth are at 1100. I don't think any dealer will try to "screw you over". Most dealers just don't want to give out too much info because they feel the customer will get dissappointed if things don't go perfectly. We'd all rather under promise and over deliver than the opposite.
