Anyone have any info on delivery times for C8's in the last few months

[DanW]

Like I noted, it was built (3800 status) on March 13th, or at least that's what I was told. My original delivery date was given as May 23rd. Since then two other dates were given, which have both come and gone. Right now my dealer is not giving me a date. The only response they have, is that sometimes they get vehicles in reasonable amount of time, and sometimes they take much longer, as there are shortages of various transportation resources. It's totally amazing how they can build a car in a day, using Just in Time delivery of all the parts, but can't deliver the car for 4-5months! I've offered on numerous occasions that I will pick the car up myself, but they say they can't do that.

If you got the Z06 from Sherwood Chev your car was produced on April 19th. I dont believe the dealers bs they just dont know themselves, when a car that was built 1 month after yours just went right through your city on its way to Calgary something is not right should be first come first serve at the hub. Maybe an email to Mary Barra is needed.

You can't if it's in the US. You technically can if it's in Canada. Your dealer has to do it, but you can arrange the trailer etc.

I got it from SMP. I never received any kind of formal notification of the 3800 status on March 13th - only verbal. Definitely, something doesn't seem right here. If first come, first serve has any bearing on my situation, I placed my initial deposit 3.5 years ago. I was first in line at this dealer for a Z06. The dealership hasn't indicated that they have taken any kind of proactive measures with GM to get this car moving. They claim they can't do anything about it. Maybe I do need to go higher up.

If you have your vin, then it was not only built, but you can know what day.

This is really strange SMP is not showing any Z06 allocation, i can not find a window sticker created for a Z06 for them only stingrays but Sherwood showing one in April and C8 tracker is pretty accurate. Did you get a VIN number if not ask SMP im curious now.

 

[DanW]

They never gave me a VIN, but I'm going to ask them right now! Thanks.

I have the VIN now. I checked C8Tracker, but it's not listed there. Do you know where I could find more info and track? Thanks.

 

[Pics999]

email shane at the museum can find out when it was built etc, other than that the dealer is it i would think

 

[DDHRocks]

I wonder if they jumped and grabbed your allocation (which is why you didn't get a VIN) and ordered another one just like it... "it was delayed in shipping!"

 

[Murray20c8]

Yes. The numbers are reported daily on Facebook and the midengine forum. If you want DM me your vin and I'll tell you on what day it was built.

Mine was built May 29th and has been to KC for the second time now after going there then rail car not showing up and going back to BG for a month now second time to KC yard an hope it ships this time so guys it's a crap shoot I guess and I hope you all have better luck than me. As my new ETA is August 14th so 2 1/2 months after build date I might have it kinda feels like this!!

 

[Murray20c8]

I created a spreadsheet and tracked the numbers for 3 years. I gave up when the Z06 came out and passed it on to someone else on the midengine forum. He has now given up also. Here's the last reported spreadsheet. Numbers are start and finish each day with the total in red

Murray, we do appreciate all the hard work everyone does on the forums. My sales guy mentioned they were aware of all the sleuthing being done on the forums. So they know we're watching things closely.

Replace my vin with yours at the very end of this URL. If it’s legit and built, it will show up.

https://cws.gm.com/vs-cws/vehshop/v2/vehicle/windowsticker?vin=1G1YC2D40P5134967

If you post that last 5 numbers of your vin, I can tell you the day it was built.

I already told him when his was built. Plus the window sticker site doesn't do CDN Z06's very well, which is why c8tracker isn't accurate with them.

We've already had one run in with a dealer who at first lied about who he was and then when caught tried to argue his way out.
If dealers are honest with their customers and do their job right, they have nothing to lose. Information is a powerful tool and can work both ways. The ones that complain are the ones who are not honest and are always trying to find ways to put themselves ahead at the cost of their customer. The ones that are honest will answer truthfully and are saying the same things we are. We are doing nothing illegal so the sooner they smarten up the better we'll all be.

 

[DanW]

Thanks to everyone for your comments, and thanks to Murray for looking up my VIN. I now have confirmation that it was built on March 16th. I think my dealer is doing everything they can to get me the car, but it just seems so crazy that it's taking this long. I guess I'll just have to have patience and hope I get this thing before the snow flies!

 

[DenisC8]

with canadian driving season being so short, delays like this can cause an entire year of lost enjoyment.

 

[DanW]

I already lost a year of Corvette enjoyment, because I sold my ZR1 last August thinking the new Z06 wasn't far off. I really regret selling it so soon.
