Tommy Jr @ MacMulkin has over 250 allocations!!

I like dealing with Tommy Jr,as his family owns the dealership & I don't have to deal with any salesperson!! Just Tommy Jr!!

He doesn't want it in a month, he wants to order within a month.

Default a little work very little

And you would answer this for yourself. How many posts in the last several weeks from salesman? Who is the largest dealer in the country? We ordered from #3 who tell me that have 450. The supporting vendor menu has a dozen.

i said an allocation (to order the car) in the next month or so.

i know they already processed the first batch of orders and the next batch goes in in july (in the next month)

my question is very valid and not laughable.. i was very precise in posting.

No one outside of GM knows how many C7s are not retail sold at each dealer. That includes the people on this forum that say most of the C7's are already sold out. That is not true.

Best to call the dealers who actually know how many unsold allocations they have and can give an estimate on when you can expect to have the car.. Starting with Kerbeck, then MacMulkin, then Coughlin, then Criswell, then Les Standford, and on down the list. Call your local dealers first, you might just be surprised.
On GM's webpage you can plug in various zip codes and get the names of the dealers that have C7 allocations in that area. you can do it for the entire country.

For example you can put in a Zip code in St Louis and GM will give you the name of 14 dealers around St Louis that have allocations. Put in a zip code for little Rock, Arkansas and GM will give you the names of 9 dealers around little Rock that have allocations. There are 900 dealers with C7 allocations. Not every dealer is sold out, as some want you to believe.

PS- you have got to do you own homework, not us, to get an "A".

Coughlin is your best bet IMO. I ordered mine 1 week ago and I should make the July order date. Ask him about delivery to your home.

Default Good luck in your quest...

First off, congratulations on your decision to get the C7, it is an amazing car for the money and the American Sports Car Icon has added to it's strengths AND greatly addressed it's BIGGEST weakness, the interior and build quality, fit, and finish are going to astonish a lot of people, no wonder they had to fire sale dump the C6's!

As to getting a car in the upcoming consensus, at MacMulkin, the #2 dealer in the country which has been confirmed to get 250 allocations in the first six to nine months (I think Kerbeck is getting 500), MacMulkin only got THIRTEEN in that first consensus in May, I put a deposit back in Jan. so I am number 6 on their list and was lucky enough to get in that first lot... My point is, it will be very, very, difficult to get in to the July consensus if you are just now ordering. I wish you luck and hope you get in for sure, so you know, until the second consensus rolls around, the dealer DOES NOT KNOW how many he will get in that second run, my suggestion is to go with Kerbeck or MacMulkin if you want to get the car as soon as possible. I believe both will sell it to you at MSRP with no mark up No doc fees with MacMulkin and no games Ask for Tommy Jr (owners son) you will deal with him direct and he's a straight shooter, he can arrange for transport to wherever you are located, I live in Chicago Area and I am flying out to get it and DRIVE it home, HOPEFULLY early Sept or if really lucky, late Aug. from what I have heard from the plant... GOOD LUCK

Good luck with your order.. And I am very precise and your request for the second allocation, and even the third allocation, is laughable.

Sure you did. I am on the second allocation and my number is less then 20 on a 150 car allocation. So I will give you my order number after I have it and you can do the same.

you should change your login name to "crabby"..

i'm # 36 on a 263 allocation.

lets do it % wise you're 13.3% in and i'm 13.6% from the beginning.. i think we both have a good shot at the july consensus.

i'm not one to "BS" the internet.. but i will nickname you CrabbyMcCrabberson.
