I am really starting to get pissed off (don't know if at the dealer or GM itself)
Ordered a non Z51 on 11/1. Was told by the dealer at the time they had 2 non Z51 allocations for November and "probably" should have the order accepted by GM the next day (11/1 was a Wednesday). By the way, nothing in my order is on constraint.
When status remained at 1100, I contacted the dealer and "we're hopeful" it will happen next week. Well, that Thursday came and went with no change from 1100 so I contacted dealer again. "We really do have 2 November allocations and you're 1st in line". Well, today they contacted GM and were given an allocation for a Z51 and a vert.
"Your still at the top of the list for the next non-z51 allocation we get."
Already sold my C6 (my DD).......

I wonder if the dealership had other customers that they put ahead of you....

I have ordered six cars prior to my current C7 order. Past experience, the cars will be produced in time, never know exactly when. Just have to sit it out, could be two to three months. I did a pre-delivery C6 trade to get a decent deal. Just the order process.

Sounds like the dealer to me. I ordered a Z-51 coupe on Oct 29th and am hopeful its built this week. (3400 last week). You know what they say about a deal that sounds to good to be true....

My orders been sitting on the desk of a Forum dealer along with my deposit since the start of October. First because of the Z51 constraints then, because of the lack of roofs.
What hurts is seeing posts on the forum from people who ordered Z51s 5 weeks after I did through the same dealer sitting at 3300 status.
Its time to employ cognative disonance
Winters almost here... I dont really need the car til spring...I have a PS4 and Top Gear on Netflix to keep me busy til April..
(its not working)

How about we hear from the forum dealer here that you ordered from? - he was all over the site a few weeks ago when he announced his discount pricing...

(sure, I'm reacting emotionally here but I feel I might have been led down the proverbial primrose path)

I'm almost in the same boat. Sold my C6 to the dealer in July when I ordered my vert. Told me I was first on his list. Nothing yet not even a customer number. Got a nice discount price but can't drive a discount price.

And here's what I did - with ZERO problems, and a car (in my case, Z51) delivered to the dealer 5 weeks after the day I ordered it:
Rick Conti. Coughlin Chevrolet, in Columbus OH. 740-739-8377
by the way - he's got non-Z51's on the ground - now - and more en route. If he's got what you want, you wouldn't even HAVE to order.
