Thanks for the welcome! No interest in paying $5K over if I can help it. I can definitely wait it out. I'd prefer to stick within the lower mainland, but I get it. May have to travel to get the car everyone wants right?Hi @26k ..
Welcome to the CCF Forums... We have been waiting for you! Ha ha.
I think you will find that all the GM Dealers have a waiting list of sorts.
Some have a high number list, eg 18-25, but that would be the larger dealer(s) that will get more allocations. Other dealers have a smaller list, eg: 8-10, but they will have less allocations so your wait time may be more. You just have to pick your dealer by feel.
There was a dealership in the Interior, that claimed they have NO wait list(?) but they want $5K over MSRP pricing. That may be worth it to you or not.
I suggest you start on the phone, or better still visit the dealers with a list of questions.
And placing a couple of deposits seems to be part of the game as well.
If you wish to start somewhere you could contact Mak @ the DUECK Downtown location.
He will be straight-up as to allocations and possible wait time at all three of their locations.
good luck. Stay safe

As above, I'd probably stick within BC if possible for now. But who knows, AB isn't out of the realm of possibility.Only if having difficulty locally, consider researching outside-the-box.
If paying $5k over MSRP, consider an AB dealership with no markup and ship it for less (or pickup and drive it).
I'm sure there are even volunteers here to drive it to you too (just kidding ... well maybe not).
If interested ... send a PM and I will share a dealer contact name (manager) for you to have a good chat with
and see if it can be an option for you ... this message will self-destruct in ...
Thanks for this. Yeah judging by most of the comments here, everyone is waiting!Get a deposit in now.. you will eventually get your car.. most
likely a 2022 at this point.
If you find another car that you like you will most likely be able to cancel your commitment and get your deposit returned. The dealer will just move the option to the next on his list.
Finding a dealer that will get you the earliest allocation is the game if you are in a hurry.

30 on the list at Carter huh? Same with Dueck? Will have to call around, but thanks for the information. I have no problems putting $5k down so long as it's refundable.I deal at Carter GM in North Van: 12 mth waiting list - so, $5K down - if lucky probably order end of this year for 2022 delivery spring kind of thing. Their list is over 30 - ditto Duecks - Z06 waiting long long - would not get one for a few years probably - crazy. Carter wants to minimize list - ie. people who put their name every where by insisting on the $5K down. I am still sitting on the fence - need to decide as it will be a long time before I see my car. Tried buying from back east - been a few for sale - want - $140K - no haggling. USA want as much in USD - so, if you want one get on a list.
How many of you fine folks have taken delivery so far in BC?
Anyways, I'm in no rush so I will keep looking. Thanks for the information!
