Help me!
I ordered my C6 on 4/8/06. I was told it will take anywhere from 6-8 wks to arive. I called my salesman this past Wednesday, and he told me he has no info yet. I was alittle shocked. I really thought I would hear something. This Saturday will be 4 weeks since they placed the order. Is this normal? I might be aliitle restless 
waiting for this car. You have no idea how many times I day dreamed of myself driving the car already
My salesman gave me the order code when he placed the order that day. Its: KBPG4W. I have no idea what the hell that means. All I know is I want my car already! Maybe someone with some pull at the factory can give some status on my order? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Better find ouy if your dealer even has an allocation -
If he doesn't, you could be in for a long wait.
There are forum dealers that have stock on hand, lots of allocations, and will keep you informed.
Good Luck,

Chances are your dealer doesn't have an allocation and you order is sitting in the system until his allocation (turn) comes up. He should know what his allocations are from his Weekly Allocation Report. Mine only took 5 weeks till it was sitting in the drive. Your dealer is jerking you around. Drop over to Ken Fitchners forum and ask Ken here http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1216163

If your dealer doesn't have any info, that is definitely not a good sign. I would serously be considering calling up a forum dealer at this point! Doesn't sound like your dealer has a clue.

Been there, done that, if your dealer has no allocations or will be getting none you are holding worthless paper.
Call him back and get the truth!
My local dealer held my order for 11 weeks before I wised up and went to a Forum dealer.

I was in the same situation you were and kept getting jerked around by the dealer. I was told 90 days from time of deposit; but at 2 1/2 months, the dealer couldn't give me a build date so I demanded my money back and went elsewhere. After a quick inventory check on the GM website, I found a car close enough to what I had ordered sitting on a dealer's lot within 20 miles of me. I brought it home that weekend. Listen to the members who recommend checking with the Forum Dealers. I wish I new about the Corvette Forum & it's supporting dealers back in Feb. of 05'. I think I would have been saved a lot of headaches. Btw, I've had mine for a little over a year and the thrill of getting in and driving it hasn't worn off yet. So hang in there and good luck!

If it were me, based upon the way you have already been kept in the dark, I would move on to a forum dealer. I bought from Tommy Jr. at MacMulkin and did a courtesy delivery and would do it again in a heartbeat. good luck.

Good Luck,
try to find out if your dealer has an allocation coming up, and how many people are in line ahead of you. In the future, USE A FORUM DEALER!!

This was the ONLY time I've ever had fun buying a car. I ordered from Tommy on March 1st, he told me he had the allocation, it was built on 3/24 & 3/27 and was delivered on 4/5, picked up on 4/6. I also have a GM Supplier Discount that I'll give someone with one stipulation, you have to buy the car from Tommy Jr.
Thanks,
