cancelled 2014 order, ordering z51

[CanadianZ51owner]

The small dealer I orderd from in October had their Allocation pulled by GM , so i went and grabbed my $5000 deposit back. Going to order 2015 from another dealer. No corvette for me until November or later

Allocation pulled...BS

Allocation pulled...BS

Something sounds fishy... my dealer is also small. They were told 1 allocation, initially, and ended up today with 3.

My bet is the dealer either never had the allocation and just thought they did or decided to do something else with it. It would seem strange GM would pull the allocations from one GM dealer to give to another small dealer for no reason.

In any event, good luck with the 2015... as painful as it is, it is worth the wait IMO.

Yeah, as I said on FB, I think the dealer just screwed you. I don't think GM would pull allocations. First I ever heard of that. But again, sorry to hear that man. Hopefully everything goes smoothly with the 2015.

i am thinking of this also

I went to Detroit auto show and was sold on C7 on the spot. thought I could just go into a dealer and order a car for the spring. as we all know now this is not the way it happens. I was told by my local dealer that he could not guarantee me a 2014 this year as he only got 1 C7 around December but may, and this is a big may, get 1 more. I then said I would just order a 2015. after reading all the problems people have had, what do I ask to make sure that I will get a 2015 from this dealer??
If there are dealers that will get 2015's for sure, then I will go to one of them if my local dealer may not be able to guarantee that I will get a 2015 next fall.
Going hundreds of km to get a car is not an issue.
thanks for the help

Any larger dealer on big cities should be able to get you a 2015 no problem. I think the big rush was for the 2014's and the 2015's will be considerably easier to acquire. But just check with them how many allocations they got for 2014 and then ask how many deposits they have for the 2015's so far and you should have your answer.

I feel for ya brother…

2015 Stingray's are selling out now and are expected to be sold out by the end of May and GM will never pull allocation the only add to it

 

[Scott McG]

NewRoads, do you mean the 2014 Stingray's? The 2015's are not available to order yet.
I have my deposit down for a 2015 Z06, but I wont be able to order it for months.

 

[blue_bomber697]

Most dealers have been taking deposits for 2015's for a while now. So basically, the deposits are already taking up a large percentage of the expected allocations. That's what he means I'm pretty sure.

Prepare for sticker shock...if you're waiting on a '15

Well, that sucks that your dealer screwed you around like this. Must be frustrating with Spring coming up. Best of luck on getting a 2015 asap!
