Good morning Forum Mates,

CCF members are the first to find out that we have finally opened our books for 2016 C7 factory orders.

4 allocations on hand:
- 2 Z51's Coupe or Convertible
- 2 Base Stingrays Coupe or Convertible

A minimum of $2000 deposit will be required to reserve these allocations. Deposits are non-refundable -- unless we are unable to get your order fulfilled by Summer 2016.

Estimated delivery would be sometime in Spring-Summer (March-June) 2016.

Orders will be submitted to GM Canada once the Order Bench allows us -- early May.

The prices have not been released yet from GM Canada. We will be reserving your allocations subject to you agreeing to the MSRP prices released by GM Canada at a later date (sometime by July-August). All eligible discounts from GM Canada will be honored (except for GM Employee Price, Supplier Price, Dealership Employee Price - which are ineligible on Corvettes anyway).

Benefits of placing your order now at Gateway:
1. Nationwide Delivery -- No additional charge Canadawide delivery at a participating Corvette dealer (conditions apply).

2. Price Protection -- You qualify for factory order protection discounts should GM Canada adjusts prices.

3. Guaranteed allocations -- Delivery by Summer 2016 or get your deposit back.

4. Regular updates as your order progresses.

5. All eligible discounts: Loyalty, GM Visa, Student, Mobility.

Please call me directly @ 416-826-7006 (cell) or 905-494-5717 to proceed.

Cheers!

Congrats Owais! I know that you had any allocations for 16 Z06s accounted for already but did you get one as well?
 
A couple of dealers here in Winnipeg are saying if you get your 2016 orders in soon you can expect delivery Aug or Sept of this year for a 2016.

Owais Jamali why are yours only due early next year? Or are my dealers out to lunch on expectations?
 
Hi Les,

We are guaranteed to get Z06's for 2016 however not sure how many as yet. These are still under negotiations. Also one 2015 Z06 is getting carried over to 2016 (due to Z07 constraints). We believe we will get additional Z06's for 2016 as we were able to fill every allocation we were assigned. We cant say how many at this time but they will come.

Unlike the customers, the dealers are sometimes required to make additional commitments such as also order afew slow moving vehicles or buy prebuilt in stock vehicles from factory to gain additional allocations for high demand vehicles such as the C7's. For eg to gain an extra Z06 allocation GM Canada may want us to also take 6 Chevy Sparks if there is an excess supply at the factories. Management then has to decide if taking an extra Z06 is worth it as it may increase our marketing costs for these other vehicles that Gateway may not have a clientele for.

To absorb this additional costs some dealers are pushed to sell their C7's at over MSRP. At Gateway we are still committed to selling our C7 factory Orders at MSRP.

Of course it would help if all of our customers also purchased a Chevy Spark with their C7 factory orders. ;)
 
Hi 81Wayne,

We expect a couple of C7's to be delivered this year in late Summer/early Fall.

However these are orders getting carried forward from 2015 -- mostly b/c GM decided to cut back on 6 weeks of production for 2015MY. In fact, from the four allocations we released today one of them may get delivered this Fall but we are unable to commit to this at this time. We will set priority to your order accordingly if you are open to a Fall delivery.

Okay thanks for you explanation. I just know some dealers here got extra stock Stingrays late March and I don't they had any 2015 orders not filled..
 
Someone messaged me today to inquire how come 3 of our orders didn't get picked by by GM as they were guaranteed allocations.

I realize that confusion so wanted to clarify that all of my guaranteed allocations posted on this forum were picked up by GM except for one Z51. I am still hopeful that it would get picked before the end of this week. The other 2 orders were not sold to forum members here. One was base and the second was a Z06 for the owner himself.

We have an excellent track record of fulfilling our guaranteed allocations and want to keep it that way. We want to earn your business and referral here rather than run to our moderators to police bad remarks. After all Gateway didn't create this forum, it's the moderators, members and visitors who have allowed us to contribute to the enthusiasts on this platform as a sponsor and active participant.

Thank you all for having us here!
 
Owais...you need to have a Vette day at Gateway...BBQ and whatnot. ya thats it except make sure you do it AFTER my Z comes in!
 
Hi Les,

We have plans of doing something like that. However Gateway is going through a facelift in the coming months. Once all renovations are complete and we have more customer parking to accommodate such an event we will be announcing more details. Im pretty sure it won't be before you get your Z06. :)

Hello
, I ordered a 2015 here in Surrey, BC, however I had to get a 2016MY which I did a few days ago, I also got a new order number, will this set me back ? He did say I'm the first one when the orders go in
 
Hi Jamie,

Welcome to the forum!

I'm afraid I don't understand. Why do you think it would set you back if the dealer placed your order for a 2016MY?

Thanks!
 
2016 my

Thanks OJ, I just thought because my order number was changed it would it change my place in line for orders ?
