Bugging Your Dealer - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

NEVER bugged anyone at my dealer as Matt my salesman came to me from a post I made here at Camaro5 regarding GMS sale.

He called me anytime he got an update. I am sure he will call you when the time is right.

I have a few people at the dealer that I can bug and one on this website. Usally contact one of them every week for an update. I have only used the 1-800# once and it wasn't very helpful.

Don't dealers know their allocation number long before they can start submitting orders? I think it comes down to how much the dealer is willing to disclose.

Since ordering I've talked to my dealer twice-on May 30th and June 23rd. I check in when I get a feeling that movement has occurred. So far, so good.

Been sitting at 1100 for over 4wks now, found out yesterday dealer didn't have any allocations.

So...hopefully from what I've been reading, new allocations should come out any time.

I'm anxious...can't wait.

I try not to bug my salesman, I'm pretty sure he's tired of hearing from me...I hear it in his voice everytime I call....which is only once a week. I'm just gonna back off for now and see what happens.

You're a paying customer and they are tired of hearing from you. I guess that pretty much sums up their business model. Do they really wonder why they continually lose market share?
The only people willing to put up with this are the die hard fans. Anyone else will go elsewhere.

Did you get your car yet?

I have been sitting in Twin Oaks since Wednesday noon and have not been taken off the railcar yet. My dealer said they "may be unloading it tonight or tomorrow". It's looking like Monday now. What a revolting development this is! 28 miles away. It is killing me!

Lucky you! I bug my salesman several times a week.... phone, email, stop by to visit. I've taught him some things I've learned from this site & he showed me where I sit in the priority list they have... my car should be pulled for production in August........ they didn't know that they were only getting half the allocations they expected til I told them! The manager called GM to confirm my hunch.

But I am loyal to my salesman. He calls me everytime a Camaro comes in that someone has backed out of buying.... but so far, there hasn't been one equipped just like what I want. So, I wait:(

I ordered 5/7 I havent talked to my dealer since. Maybe i should be, but really, I'm not worried when it comes in. Ive taken the stance of when it comes in, it comes in.

AMERICANMADE · 06-26-2009, 03:18 PM

My wife is buying the car as a gift. She has told my dealer to stop telling me anything, that I can wait for the surprise. He got caught in the middle and said OK. Poor guy. My updates have come to a stop! Last thing I knew was TPW 6/29.

Thats a great idea!

It keeps customers from wondering and getting frustrated... and turning to other sources. It takes just a moment to get a copy of the Order Event History and share it with the customer. This ensures that your customer becomes (or stays) a repeat customer.
