Gentlemen......Thankyou for your wisdom and forward thinking
I received good news from my dealer today......after 143 days of "1100" status.....I have moved to production...!!!.....status "3000"
I can't complain....I am privy...to see what is coming across the border....it's a trickle
Delivery just in time for me to pack it up and store it for the winter.....wooooohoooo...!!!........geeeeesh
Thankyou GM.....
IMPORTANT.....!!!
new orderers....!!
advice from previous posts on thread proved to be invaluable....
My dealer ended up with 3 allocations for the year....he gave me the 1st one....(know your order in their allocations)
1/......when order placed.....get your order number ASAP....(confirms dealer actually has an allocation)
2/.....check your name is on order...
3/.....check your order as sold
4/....check MRSP is close to the price you have negotiated....(price increases happen February and April) to protect dealers and the manufacturer over Canadian dollar fluctuations and production cost over-runs
5/....ensure your order is correct....several people input the order into system as it progresses thru the system....some things may get slewed..
6/.....Patience.....it is no secret.....the ordering process here in Canada is arduous....a long history
WAKE UP GM CANADA.....!!!
I have the wonderful opportunity to travel extensively and the American lots are full of unsold 2016 C7's.....while we cry up here for our deliveries before the snow flies
.....P.S.....the Germans can produce delivery......just sayin
but for the build we want....the vette lovers...........we wait........Patience

so GM Canada messed up or the dealer or both?
Looking forward to the new Z-car to be delivered in the Spring (probably) will help you get thru another Canadian winter.
Small consolation but none-the-less........

Hi I'm Richard, from Montreal. Also a Newbie.
Ordered mine Feb 24/15. Was built the 21 of September. Hoping I won't have any issues with delivery . Would love to get my car so I can drive it before it gets too cold!

Hi Richard and welcome -- You ordered Feb. of '15 -- were you expecting an earlier delivery or were you told September?
Just wondering. Some of these cars seem to take an inordinate amount of time.
Hoping you get it soon -- we should still have some good 'vette' weather b4 the snow flies.

Are you really Santa Claus? Out with the new sleigh on Christmas Eve.
Really happy for you that you got your C7. Can't wait to see some pictures of the new machine.
Patience has it virtue they say.

Good to hear you finally got your car! Woo! Looking forward to the pictures!!!
Hi all...........it's here, finally after months of no news, visits to the dealer, etc. Went to the dealer today, thinking that I'd get the same old story -no news- BUT low and behold, told that it arrived yesterday??!!! Shocking. Actually got to see it; it's still all wrapped up, and they're doing their 'check' before we get to pick it up. So, thanks for all the great info on here.... it all worked out, somehow!
LT1, Torch Red, automatic......can't wait to drive it!

Great news Trussie.
Enjoy the new beast.

Great to hear that it arrived finally! Now all you have to do is wait until the temps get over 7C so you can safely drive it, those Michelin Super Sports are great when it's warm but suck in the cold and crack if it hits -7!
If you pick it up over the next few days, make sure the tires are warm and drive it in weather mode!
