FbodFather help? what about the orders dealers took that exceeded their guide number?
ok...my dealer till this day hasnt told me their total allocation number...(guide number) ...last time i asked my answer was "most dealers in the area didnt obey GM's request to show their cars at mets stadium and/or didnt hold on to their floor car for the unveiling day...and GM would be penalizing those dealers and not giving them extra allocations...we did what GM asked and because of that, we will be getting extra allocations"...when he told me this, i had to just assume that my order is one that exceeds their total guide number...i mean i have an order number and a R6P code, but i dont know if that means anything to whether or not im within their guide number...
i just read something that fbodfather wrote a few days ago and he said that this issue was being addressed...just curious if there is any news on it yet... and when should i expect the car? i reallly dont want the car august/september... mid july is what im hoping for at the very worse...im priority 6 at my dealer with 1 shipped and 2 & 3 built or still on the line... so i still have 2 more orders ahead of me that havent even been pulled yet and im starting to get upset feeling i wont be seeing this car for summer... now about this news of increase in production...does this include cars over dealers guide number? since i have the R6P code, am i no matter what considered a pre-order? like part of the 15,000 pre-orders... are dealer's extra allocations given after all the initial allocations have been delivered on? like if i am an extra allocation order... do i have to wait until all dealers get their original allocations before mine is pulled? Lets say my dealer was delivered all of their allocations by june... would my dealer have to sit around and wait until august to get the extras, after the rest of the continents initial allocations were delivered? please shine some light on me... id rather know for sure then speculate :(

It's just a matter of time till lots have cars on hand. If that's your big question.
Too many things in play at the moment. If the cars sell they will get more. If they are staying open... The math is easy. Sell = more. Don't sell = not many more. GM will get "over it" really fast. Punishing happy customer dealer in todays internet age is only gonna get you bad press fast. And as I would point out GM is owned by the people now, they are not really an independent company, we are really the boss now. |

I understood your point. I was simply making a joke.

I don't see in your post any mention of an order workbench. You should have that paperwork. R6P is the code for early order activity. You are part of that with a price guarantee and R6P designation on the vehicle. Contact the inventory manager at the dealership and insist he show you his pass one screen which will reveal the status of your order. You are a paying customer. Realize that and as such are entitled to know the vehicles progress. Good luck. |

You would show up no matter what. What mac1 was asking for is Event Code or Event Status Code. Look at my sig, my car is at 3400 currently (Internal order for production received) and will be at 3800 (built) hopefully by the end of the week. This code lets you know how far along your order is. Also, depending on WHEN you got your workbench copy, you may want to call the dealer to get an update of the current event code. If you're still at 1100, then GM hasn't even, in essence, looked at your order yet. If you're at 2000-2500 then your order is pulled and being prepared for production. 3000-3300 are where they schedule everything internally, including the Targeted Production Week. then it's downhill from there.

I guess one of the questions nightmare has is if the dealer only got a guide number of...let's say three...and he is the 6th order, will he still get a car? how about in general, if you're order is outside of the dealers guide number?
please correct me if i'm wrong

I'm waiting for the end of the week to call my dealer again when, hopefully, the car is built and I can get a VIN#. At that point I'll ask them for an order history so I can see the actual dates that everything happened. For now the dates in my sig are when I found out the car had advanced based on what could be referred to as sketchy information at best sometimes. I've actually found the GM line to be of more help than the dealer, unfortunately.
