[QUOTE="gone, post: 250291, member: 5899"] Ouch. I must clean up my reputation, given Murray's comments... Bill Spencer is one of the GM dealers that's a sponsor on these Forums and they're well thought of and familiar with Corvettes so you should be given good service/advice and kept informed about your order. Having said that, if you're being told that the 2022 C8 allocations which they [U]expect[/U] to get from GM are such that you're too far down on their list to likely get one, then you should consider following Murray's advice and get your name on a list with someone else. You have a choice: jump ship completely and go with someone who tells you that they expect to get a 2022 allocation for you, or stay with Bill Spencer and ALSO get on the list with someone else as well. Your deposit is refundable until you actually get an allocation and make your order (that's usually the case but I'd have the dealer confirm that) so that's why many will get on multiple lists to better ensure they'll get an allocation. Hopefully you can talk to the dealer and put in a lesser deposit (ie. much less than $5,000) so too much of your money isn't tied up in multiple locations.
