[QUOTE="gone, post: 244850, member: 5899"] I agree it's strange you're told your C8 could get an allocation ahead of the others first on the list. My understanding is that the type of build doesn't impact the allocation to the dealer, only when the car will be built based upon how it's slotted into the production line by the Bowling Green gurus. So that raises a red flag: if others might be treated that way by this dealer, could the same happen to you? I'd ask this dealer what happens to the list, if others drop off for financial or other reasons. Some dealers will bring the car in for themselves and sell it for a profit, rather than give the spot on the list to the next person. As well, it's nice to maintain your loyalty to a dealer who's treated you well over the years but this new dealership is a separate entity and relying upon the "nephew" to act the same way as his "aunt" may never pan out. And then there's the comment by [USER=6287]Nimm[/USER] which may tell you what to expect from this dealer although I'd suggest you also check out Web reviews. Regardless, I agree with [USER=7034]GreenTurtle2C8[/USER]: you have no deposit with this dealer. If you're really looking to get an allocation in the next year or so, you'll have a much better chance being on a second list and with a dealer who gets lots of allocations. Best to call and find out allocation numbers and where you'd be on their list, then choose the best one. Any deposit will be refundable until you place your order. They're likely not super close to you but we have 2 Ontario dealer sponsors on these Forums who would be good to deal with: Bill Spencer Chevrolet and Wilson-Niblett Motors. You might want to contact them. If one of them gets your C8 allocation, it would be worth the drive. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
