Anyone else being told GM is not accepting z06 "sold orders"?
My number got called 2 weeks ago with an allocation. I noticed my order form says "retail stock" not "retail sold"
I asked why, since the denali HD I ordered says "Retail sold." Sales mgr told me GM will only let them put corvette ordered through as stock, not sold...
I'm guessing that based on production time the car could end up being a 23 or a 24, but if it's a "sold" order on a 23 then it has to be a 23.
It might be that an order not filled for a 23 is not filling a sold order at the 23 price. It would be a retail order that moved to 24 and possibly a price increase. So, it's a dealer retail problem not a customer problem. Although it really is a customer problem.
As previously reported, GM closed SRE (retail sold orders) on April 5th. However if an order is/was entered preliminary and in the GM OrderWORKBENCH at 1100 before 4/5, it can be matched to an allocation as an SRE.
If a MY23 order was not at 1100 before 4/5 it can only be entered as TRE (dealer stock order).
This is why some are reporting they got an SRE order after 4/5.
I believe this is normal for end of model year. It allows GM to manage customer expectations by having mostly stock orders they can cancel in the last few weeks of a MY’s production. Canceling a stock order is far less impact than canceling a sold order. The no SRE period winds up being longer this year because of the 2 months extension to MY23. When the 4/5 date was announced, MY23 was supposed to end on July 1.
Many dealers including mine had enough people on their list get their orders in at 1100 before 4/5. A friend of mine was one and he got an SRE order in the 4/20 allocation.
In the end it doesn’t really matter unless you wanted R8C NCM Delivery or a color override. I believe those are the only options not available with a TRE order.
