I placed an order for a Z51 Coupe, Performance Exhaust, MRC at a dealership in November. I asked if they had an allocation available and they said Yes and that I would have my car in February. Unfortunately at the time I didn’t know I could track my order.
I call in February asking for ETA on delivery. They say there have been production delays and expect car in March. I start doing research and find out my order is still in 1100. Talk to dealer and am told ‘1100 is only one step before production’ and wait until 2nd week in March when ‘allocations run’ and my car should get picked up.
Today: still at 1100 status. I e-mail dealer and this is his response: “You are right in that there has not been an allocation for your car as of yet. The Z51 pkg is on constraint and has been the entire production run. There are only about 18 or so Z51 corvettes built during each allocation run. Allocations run twice per month. I would hope to see yours picked up soon.”
I know I’m being jerked around and on principle I want to cancel my order. But before I pull the plug I just want to run this past you guys. I’m confused about the ‘allocations run twice per month’ comment. My understanding is if a dealer has an allocation, an order goes to 2000 pretty much immediately. Is that correct and if so this guy is basically is lying to me and wasted 4 months and cost me $3200 since my next order will be post price increase. Or is there something to the twice a month thing and I should wait until the 2nd Tuesday in April before cancelling.
Thanks for your help. I wish I found this forum sooner…
