Default Help w/dealer allocation

Does anyone know a way to find out a dealer's Corvette allocation or perhaps a dealer's annual Corvette sales? As my target purchase date approaches (May-June), I've decided that I will shop some of the local dealers here in So. Cal. before ordering from one of the forum dealers. There are a couple of dealers that I have previous experience with and one in which a close family friend is in sales (my father has purchased two C5's from him). Assuming I can negotiate a fair price, I want to be sure I'm not waiting 12 weeks for my C6. I know some of the forum dealers w/better allocation can get Vettes in a matter of 3-4 weeks. Thanks in advance for the help.

Ask a salesman. If you don't trust their answer, get them to show you a copy of the letter from GM that shows their allocations.

I walked in & asked for the dealership's General Sales Manager.
Asked him the exact question(s) you want to know, prior to even considering beginning the purchasing process.

Had the GM not been there/available the next step would've been to ask to speak to the dealership's owner.

Do either of those two things and you can't go wrong.

It would be easier to find out how many they had last year. Then just figurethat should be roughly their total for this year. Not 100% accurate, but will get you close.
