Default Allocation ??

If a dealer says they have one allocation left for the year, what determines when they get it to use it?

thanks

GM.

The dealers usually know about 4 weeks out when they can use an allocation.

Good luck in you purchase.

Remember. It may seem like an eternity to get your can, but once you do it will seem like an instant.

With one allocation remaining for 2005, I suggest that you contact one of the Forum Vendors. Otherwise I see an unhappy experience coming for you.

With the 2005 build extending into the first week of September, it could be a long, long wait. Go with a Forum dealer now.

Can anyone answer the original question? Who/how is it decided when the dealer can use his 1 allocation?

It should be based on when he sold his Corvettes last year. I have tons of allocation available. Give me a call and lets see what we can work out.

Thanks to all.

At this point I haven't seen anything to make me doubt the integrity of the selling dealer. I asked specifically when their allocation would be available before I signed the papers. They assured me they had an allocation and it would be available within 2-3 weeks.

So I am going to wait a few weeks and see what happens before I start shopping again. If this doesn't work I will be giving forum dealers like Ric a call.

I think that dealers can trade allocations between themselves can't they?

If they told you 2-3 weeks, why ask the question in the first place? If this is their last allocation for the model year I highly doubt they will have the allocation before August. Be careful.
