I called the two suggested dealers in Montreal, one had no allocations whatsoever...the other was voicemail,left them my number,they did not bother even to call back. The third dealer in Ontario according to Kboy was asking at least $5000 over MSRP,so I did not bother.
Thanks . Sent an e mail last night .
Also sent KBoy a pm looking for the info .
All 3 of my dealer Gateway's Z06 allocations are spoken for. Going to be hard to find.
For some reason Canadian dealers knew allocation a head of American dealers. Have no clue how that happened but it has! I confirmed it myself when I saw the forum posts pop up the other day. That's the good news. The bad news is Canada isn't going to see squat for total cars coming our way this year: (
You know it really sucks when you go to a dealer and they are totally clueless what your talking about !!!
Dohhh ....
Heres my sales persons email back to me today .
Kazman, The Z07 package only changes the brakes, the aero package (larger front winglets and adjustable transparent piece in the spoiler), and the tires. I believe there may also be some suspension or tuning adjustment, but I'm not aware of any actual component change in that regard. There's no reason that emissions will be different on that package. I have read quotes that it's a bit harsher touring and really is meant specifically for the track. Is there a track near Timmins that would make this worthwhile?
Only track near here is a dirt track lol . Seriously though , nearest track is Grand Bend which is 9 to 10 hrs drive . I just want this to be the last high power car I buy , I want all the trimmings if possible .
Hey Stung, 3-5 is likely very optimistic from what I hear (from a credible dealer source). Canada is not going to see many due to the limited production run for 2015. Our largest dealers don't even rank with their sales compared to the US dealers. Their volume is massive at the largest and still huge at the mid level vs our dealers.. If the 900 initial dealers who received Stingray allocation first in 2014 had 4 each that would be all the cars for the 2015 run likely. Your dealer should already know his initial allocation. A few member's have spoken with their dealers and confirmed this.HI Madmav:
They don't really know numbers, they get them as and when they come in and are told in advance of approximately how many they can expect based on last years sales. Of course there were no ZO6's last year so I guess it is up for grabs on them. My dealer sold in excess of 35-40 units last year and are anticipating about 3-5 ZO6 allocations but not all at once of course. Some 15 Z51's are already built and waiting to be shipped to them (sold orders of course). It is a game GM plays with their dealers every year. Keeps someone employed I guess. haha!!
STUNG
I'd say the 3-5 is possible if they sold that many units. My dealer sold less then that and they got 3 Z06 allocations which are already spoken for.
