2017 Sold order process.
I have a question for anyone in the know, what I mean by that is factual information and not speculation.
I was talking to my dealer who sells around 50 Corvettes a year and asked if they had any allocations for a 2017 GS/Stingray they stated none at present, but told me that if it was a sold order GM would pick it up.
In the past no allocation no order, be it dealer order or sold order.
Yes I do know how the allocation order process works.
Has GM changed their process for 2017 Sold orders.

The dealership I went to was like the one you're talking about that sold around 55-60 Vette's the year prior. They were hoping because it was a sold order that they would pick it up fast. To be fair they did come back the week after saying they got one (4 weeks from order placed) which I do believe them but I had already placed the order elsewhere.
Did it help? Maybe. But you will still be waiting until their number is called. It may not take as long now that the initial burst of orders are probably slowing down. Good luck!

The allocation process exists in present form as a result of court decisions and franchise laws. If either were to present with a significant change, I expect we would hear them about from more sources than an isolated dealership. I have not seen any indication of such change.

C7 allocations are done manually > unused allocations are shifted to dealers that placed orders without confirmed allocation
Canada can now receive unused US allocations
