Latest Dealer Screwup...

BiCal Chevy in Valley Stream Screwup!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To all those who ordered a 2010 Camaro from BiCal Chevy in Valley Stream,
WE GOT SCREWED !!!!

I am on the phone with GM District Sales Manager and here's what I was told:
BiCal Chevy had some computer ordering system failure (either new program, computers, or something) and all orders placed in Nov, Dec, Jan and Feb were all "lost" and were re-ordered in March. We were all dropped down the list. Were any of you told about this?

So, as I'm typing, I get Mr. Francis Lynch on the phone who tells me the only way to expedite the order (possibly, and this is a big possibly) is to offer the dealer MORE allocations, making their orders a higher priority!!!! Great for GM to REWARD the screwup dealer by allowing him to sell more Camaro's!!!

Can anyone believe this crap? I'm not done...if you go high enough, one person can make the decision to make a black on black 2SS/RS the first car not already assigned a VIN mine.

[NO COZY SMILIES HERE]

KEEP WATCHING NBC NEWS FOR THE STORY....

If the "dealer told me my car was cancelled and then gave it to his son" story didn't end up on NBC News, I really don't think this story has a chance. No offense. Doesn't sound like your dealer did anything especially malicious, though they should've told you about the glitch in March.

Update: On 5/20, I took a shot at emailing the NA VP of Sales & Marketing. I guessed his email correctly and got a reply. On 5/21, my dealer called to say he got 4 cars accepted for production. No news story, but if you go high enough, you'll get shit done! Guess what? Now that I've seen a RJT in person, I want to change my order from black to RJT. I'll see if it can be done, I really hope so, the RJT looks so hot!

Not sure if I'm understanding your post 2SSRS - the comment about telling Fritz Hendersen "good luck finding another job" and your car showing up at the dealer 20 days later.
Do you think that your comment about him finding another job moved your car up in production?
Were you threatening to fire him?

So if only 4 were accepted for production, why is BiCal promising July 31 deliveries for people ordering in May? They pretty much garunteed when i orderes on MAy 14th that the car would be delivered in late July...
