[QUOTE="C7Driver, post: 68747, member: 2069"] Well you have a car where demand is overwhelming supply so there is a lineup , you need to get in line. Adding to that issue is how dealers are allocated vehicles, that is based on what they sold historically , so if your dealer didn't sell many C6's they aren't going to get many C7's. That's the problem for all of Canada, very few C6's got sold here, partly because GM Canada decided to sell the car at a premium to U.S. pricing. So a lot of Cdn buyers figured out ways to buy their C6's in the U.S , which hurt the Cdn numbers even worse. That's the reality of the C7 and who gets what in Canada. Fair, maybe not but it is reality. Eventually that will smooth out, meantime GM has a hit, is selling as many as they can build so first thing a buyer in Canada needs to understand is the above. Does your dealer have an allocation , how many do they have and what is the wait time or how big is their wait list given they do have allocations. The dealers are part of the problem because obviously some are not being honest. When I went into my local dealer in London he told me flat out, heh I might get a couple of cars in 2014 but they are spoken for so I can't really help you unless your willing to wait for the '15's. I then went to Toronto and found a allocation. It should get better this year , however with all the great articles coming out on the C7's, all the driving shows talking about it and how great it is maybe, just maybe demand actually stays strong or gets stronger. A whole lot of BMW, Porsche guys are going to be looking at the C7 as a far more viable option than was the previous generations of 'Vettes. [/QUOTE]
