Got my Z06 order in today, received the WorkBench and wanted to include it here as I hadn't a clue what the WorkBench report was before I had it.
My first dealer told me that it wasn't really that important because, regardless of whether the Workbench has been submitted, it will be created when your allocation comes up on the list.
In short, the WorkBench report can really mean nothing whatsoever as the dealership can fail to move it forward for more than a year, as has happened in a few cases I have seen in the past few weeks...but nevertheless, it is still the first step to letting GM know you want one of their cars.
Without going into codes, 1000 means GM hasn't a clue, 1100 means the order is in and has been accepted by the system...and there is record of your order.
From a personal point of view, this is something tangible that makes one feel a bit better about placing a down payment of 5K because it has your name, the vehicle configuration your want and it has been issued a GM Work order number.
I have decided to include it here as I hadn't a clue what one was or what one looked like when all started asking me about it on the other forum sites. I also know there are dealers here who feel similar, in that, it is something the customer should have right away when ordering a vehicle, whether the allocation is there or not.
NOW.... having enlisted my thoughts here... I still havent a clue whether I will truly be driving a car home from Quebec next year or not; having this sure seems to help me in believing the dealer believes he is getting one though...
oh and all personal info removed...
