Stan,
Next time the dealer calls, go into work, just wait until 2 hours before he closes and see if it is there yet. If it is, take off early and drive there, if it isn't, you didn't waste your day.
Actually you should be able to wait until you get off work to check, since most dealers stay open past normal business hours.
Don't take time away from your schedule unless the car is physically on the lot!
Better yet, make the dealer come and pick you up in it when it arrives, that should take care of the inconvenience caused.

No price gouging (paid MSRP). Car was fully loaded
with the every option I wanted and was the exact
color combination I would have ordered - had I gone that route.
Hopefully your problems resolve themselves and you get your car
soon.
Here's a pic of my C6:

Good Luck!

It looks like you need you diaper changed
I can't believe that this thread was started. Bramwelt, if you think GM gives a crap if you buy a BMW, you are sorely mistaken.
The care about that as much as I do. Please feel free to take your whine butt to the BMW dealer.
If any of you think that one person or even one hundered make a dent in GMs profit margin, you are wrong.
This is a hot car and if you don't buy it, someone else will.
Dealers aren't charging above MSRP because they feel like it.
Someone must want this car badly.

This isn't whining, it's anger and frustration.

$1269/3 = $223 a day /8 = ~$52.87 per hour X 2080 annual hrs. = $110,000.00 a year.
I certainly hope you get some benefits to offset the crummy pay!

So. You think I need to wear diapers?
I never got nasty to you.
I'll take my butt wherever I want.
about nothing.
You should buy a clue, and some manners.
A grown man whining like a spoiled teen age girl deserves none.
Like I said, welcome to my ban list. You're in great company.

Thanks for the comments, Rick. It's appreciated. I'll just forget about this car for a while and go read a book.

Wow ! I sure learned something from this thread . When my dealer calls me and gives me the delivery date, I will say call me when you are looking at my car ! 
If Allied is really this bad then can't we as a forum of many let GM know some way ? Is there a GM customer service email address ? We ought to say something if enough of us are experiencing these problems with delivery and Allied ?

So kcart your dealer said your car should be there ? No promises ? I like that . Maybe bramwellt's dealer just needs to realise Allied can't be trusted and tell their Vette customers that the car might be there tomorrow !?!

Posting a picture of a baby that has monitors hooked up to it probably will not win you the most popular award. To top it off you make an inflammatory comment that obviously has no barring on you. So how about STFU.
This issue will have barring? I think you meant bearing, and it
will have a bearing on me when I order my C6 and await it. I can tell you that although I will be anxious as hell, I will not come on here and whine that it is not here yet. I will also not blame the shipper and the manufacturer that I missed time at work; due to the fact that I am too ignorant to call, or have the dealer call me when the car is physically there.

Bramwelt,
Did you order you vette with a manual trannie? There was defect identified recently ( http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=930805 ) that may have held you '05 in BG while they were trying to resolve the problem....

Delivert Y Dates
I ran into the same problem i was told 3 weeks ago it would be in friday. friday afternoon i call no car now it's probably sat. sat afternoon i call now it's monday morning. lunch time monday i call thet say the carrier is in baltimore( i'm just south of new york) so i figure by 4 or 5 i call at 4 and now i'm told it never made the carrier it's still at the factory. needless to say i'm not very happy. i call tuesday no one will call me back. i get the owners phone # call him every few hours no word . itry again on wednesday at 5 he tells me it will be in on friday. if i want to come in thursday am to fill out the paperwork that would be ok. thursday at 11 i'm getting ready to leave i get a call it's in!! i've had it for 3 weeks and just hit 500 miles the wait is torture but it's worth it when yoy get to the dealership and they bring you to the clean up are watch them prep the car then you drive off.
