Is this common practice to list all cars even the ones that are specially ordered and sold on dealer Web Sites ?

Like the title says, my order (has my VIN) is listed for sale.

Sent him an email but will probably not hear back until Tuesday.

What does everyone think about this ?

It's a slight mistake by an automated system that when GM invoices, it goes on their website. Easy to correct. Don't read into it...

Yup, don't worry about it.

Mine shows on my dealers site as "in transit".. it's in my garage.


Kinds like the tracking system. Out of date.

Thanks, I kind of thought it was something like that. I know he is trying to build his Corvette business, so I thought he was just doing a bit of advertising that he has a new 15 either in stock or coming in.

Still a little weird when I saw the description and my VIN attached.

This is normal. I learned this back in may when I was looking for a stringray and every car (I was interested in) that was listed as available on the dealer website as well as the GM vehicle search site wound up already being a sold order.

I asked one of the forum dealers why this was and they said as soon as a car gets a VIN, it shows up on their website regardless whether it is a sold order or not and they have no control of that. I would guess this is probably because the dealer's website pulls the data from the same source as the GM vehicle search site.

And congrats on getting your car.

Did the same to me, no worries.

Same here. My Stingray was listed on the dealer's site as "inbound" but I knew the car was mine. Not to worry. Congrats!

Mine is listed on the Les Stanford web site as for sale.

If someone wants it add $10,000 to the price you paid, sell it and get another one. Oh, then tell the dealer; Thanks.

May be a glitch in their computer system but I'd make them aware of it before someone else puts money on it from the website.
Congrats on the car.

Mine was showing "at the dealer" at least days after it was in my garage.

Or the SOB is using it for a "bait and switch".

That's my guess

Oh the horror!!!

amazing the conspiracy theories that manifest here...

My order showed "Inbound" and then available until the day that I picked it up. It can also be used to attract more buyers. I know when I was looking to buy, I called the dealer thinking that other cars were available and that is when I was told that they were all customer's orders. Not to worry your car will be there.

It brings people into the showroom looking for your car because it is one they would like to own.

When corvette mike bought my 10 GS, in 2011, it was still parked in my garage he had it advertised with 5 miles on it when the car had 1500 on it.

The idea is to get people in the store.
