Thanks a lot for the calendar it’s will help understanding the processus

Small dealer no allocation !!! Large dealer yes some allocation, I don’t know how GM think some dealer did not receive any allocation yet for 2021 and some dealer are in there twenty’s Near thirty’s, I know it’s depend on the previous sale but How a dealer can upgrade their sales when they don’t have allocation so if you receive one allocation for 2020 maybe you will receive one for 2021 and only one for 2022, 2023, 2024 .... so if you are the 10 on the list you will wait 10 years for a C8 probably you should give a deposit for the C9 right now to make sure to be the first ! General Motor please help the small dealer to upgrade their sales, they can not upgrade their sales if they don’t have allocation or only allocation for Malibu !

I understand what you're saying, but if all the small dealers received more allocations (that were not justified by previous sales) then those cars would have to be taken from bigger allocation dealers who worked hard to sell Corvette's in previous years. If the smaller dealers don't receive many cars its simply because they haven't historically sold many Corvette's.

 

[Andrew Spencer]

Just to clarify, does that mean they'll be releasing all the allocations for the next 3 months on Thursday, not just January allocations ?

Just January.

Yes I understand and that why I’m telling everyone to go with you

Wow only 1 allocation for one of the top dealers in Canada? That doesn't seem right or very promising?

 

[Andrew Spencer]

This was just 1 cycle!

 

[Carlos]

Thanks Andrew for sharing. 1 cycle represent each yellow highlighted date? If not what allocates a cycle?

My previous comment wasn't to insult or Challenge your dealership Andrew. Hope you get more allocations going forward!

On what date did you put name on their list and what number were you?

26 and mid July.

I have a question, ball park how long has it taken folks to get their cars after the order is allocated and submitted? Id imagine delivery turn around times are coming down because of the second shift... right? Haha wishful thinking perhaps.

 

[IWNTAC8]

Will there be more allocations for the dealers this Thursday?

The waiting is a killer. My order went to status 3300 on Jan. 13 and I have a TPW of Feb. 1. I’m anxiously waiting to move to 3400 and get my VIN.
