My dealer emailed me back today.....still no allocation yet

I'm gonna be starting to go from sad to mad if they STILL don't get a car in April for May production.

Any of you others that ordered from a small town dealer (initially given 1-2 allocations through Q3) still waiting for an allocation too?

Rodrunner · 03-07-2009, 05:55 PM

Holy crap, JMAN, none this concensus? I am surprised, but with so few through Q3 maybe I shouldn't be. Gonna call my dealer Monday to check. He's only got 5 through Q3. I'll let you know. Hopefully others will chime in here.

IDK my dealer when i call he tells me he will let me know when he checks the computer and then do you think i hear from him

I'll let you use ur imagination

My dealer gets 6 total, but none pulled for April either. Making it hard to resist getting an SS.

Rodrunner · 03-07-2009, 08:23 PM

^^^Damn, that doesn't bode well for me. Well, if nothing else, more time to save down payment money....how I stay optimistic.

EllwynX · 03-07-2009, 08:33 PM

My dealer has 5 total. I was informed today that they received 1 slot for April production (they had 0 for March production).

Only thing that worries me is the fact that they said 'they would know which order was being pulled next week'. Now I was first to order, so they SHOULD be submitting mine for production. But it sounds like they have no idea.

They entered all 4 of their Sold Orders as Priority #1. So what happens if they don't submit mine and just let GM pull it from Workbench? Will it pull by date entered if we're all listed as #1 (constraint issues aside that is)?

I'll be quite upset if I lose my #1 spot because they are too lazy to submit my order as it should be...

My Dealer got 18 in total allocation and got 6 for April build.Mine should be built the first part of April.

I get the same BS

r0cketdr · 03-07-2009, 09:39 PM

My dealer has a total allocation of 6. Got 1 for March, 2 for April. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to who's getting what. As of yesterday, the "March" car was still at 1100.

jachevy28 · 03-07-2009, 09:49 PM

My smaller dealer has a guide number of 4 and supposedly got 1 for April sometime. Wish there was some rhyme or reason to how it was all going down.

My dealer got a total of 3 with none pulled for March.. I am really crossing my fingers for April - I am going to find out on Monday. It seems like roughly a third of most dealerships allocations are being pulled between March and April.

JMAN311 · 03-07-2009, 11:02 PM

I'm sure it's some crazy formula they got over there at GM for allocations. The smaller dealers that are farther away from the plant will probably be at the back of the list. It just doesn't seem like it would have been that hard for them to just build the 1 car that dealers would have gotten through the whole Q3 right away and get them out of the way. It would probably only take a half a week.

Some of us are still counting in years, not months. :upset:
