The critical thing to find out when placing an order is toThe critical thing is to find out from any dealer who you are working with to buy a C8 is how many allocations they received in the previous year i.e. 12 cars in calendar year 2021, or roughly one car a month. Then find out how many confirmed orders are in front of you. Also ask for an educated estimate of how long your wait is likely to be. If they won't give you those numbers or even worse don't have a clue then move on quickly as they are not an informed dealer or they are not wanting to be honest with you. If they only get three cars a year and you are order number 10 in the pipeline you know you should move on to another dealer. Unfortunately many dealers are not very forthcoming with that information or their sales staff don't know how the system works. For smaller dealer you should probably deal with the sales manager who might have an idea how the system works. I would be very reluctant to order from any dealer who sold less than 10 Corvettes last year as they just don't know the system well enough to navigate it. The C8 production has been a little lower than the C7 was but the main problem has been the rave reviews and owner experiences are creating a larger demand for the car than production can meet. I understand that the big three dealers in southern Ontario are already sold out of model year 2023 allocations therefore my recommendation is to find yourself a dealer who has allocations in the area of 20-30 Corvettes a year and start dealing with them.
