[QUOTE="DavidWG, post: 325234, member: 3145"] Now that is a good question. there are a number of components but essentially GM allocates numbers of vehicles to each dealer based on their past sales records. So if a dealer sold 60 C8s for the past two years they would probably get 55-65 allocations the following year give or take. The allocations are assigned to dealers I believe once a month. So if you are on a wait list and there are 30 customers in line in front of you then you have to wait until that dealer gets 30 allocations before your name goes to the top of the list. Your dealer should then contact you and you then have to quickly firm up your order, finalize your options and sign off on the sale which your dealer then submits to GM. Most experienced purchasers "build" their order using the GM online configurator which shows you a model of your car as you build it. A few weeks or even a month or two later GM will notify the dealer of the TPW (Target Production Week) and your dealer should notify you of that week. Until that time, which could be months, GM has not accepted your order. GM has a whole series of code numbers that they assign to your order as it passes through their order sequencing process.
