I think my dealer has an allocation it is just a question being able to use it. My dealer sold seven C5s last year and should have seven allocations this year. When I placed my order I was told they had one allocation left based upon last years sales. Pretty simple math and planning at this point. So now 40 days later I don't have a confirmed order and one of the big guys has 29 in stock, with more arriving every week. So I have a hard time blaming the dealer for a lack of planning. GM and I parted company 22 years ago. The C6 is the first GM vehicle that I have wanted to buy since then. I even sold my Lexus in advance to make room for the C6. BTW I think the folks in Montana are sold out this year unless they pickup some 05 build out slots in July. They could sell a lot more if GM would give them the cars. So it goes.

Replying to: starrow68 (Mar 30, 2005 10:22 am) You have to wonder why GM would let their dealers log orders if they don't have any chance of getting a car. They could easily bounce any order that doesn't plug into the schedule. Instead they assign it an order number and a status code of 1100. Sort of an unethical thing to do if they know the car will never be built? GM also refuses to answer any questions from customers about orders. They refer you back to the dealer. So a customer has no way to determine if the dealer is being disingenuous. So I stand by my original statement. The C6 order process is a mess and GM is losing customers as a result.

Replying to: c5_4fun (Mar 31, 2005 6:16 am) The dealers in my direct area are all small time as far a vettes go and have from 0-2 cars on the lot. They have some local price fixing going on where they have all agreed to hold to MSRP. So of course I got a good price for my current order and none of the big guys want to play. So at this point I am starting to talk to some brokers. I think I will probably hang around for another 30 days then pull the plug or roll to an 06. I have already started looking for a replacement. My original thoughts were to get something like a Subaru STI before I started looking at the C6.
