I know somone on here can tell me some info from the numbers the dealer gives you so please give me whatever info you can with these numbers/letters
Allocation group VET
Current event 3000
charge to 111452
ship to 113150
tpw 08/20/2007
model 1yy07
order type SRE
Priority 1
order #MDRRNM

Does the model number 1YY07 mean they are trying to give me an 07 when I ordered an 08?
Thanks in advance

 

I just ordered my '08 last week. The printout from GM DealerWorld (their ordering system) shows Model: 1YY07 - Corvette:Coupe. But it also shows Model Year: 2008. So, I'm guessing that the 07 does not refer to the year....just a model number.

 

Official 2008 Corvette Order Information

Three models:
1YY07 Corvette Coupe
1YY67 Corvette Convertible
1YY87 Corvette Z06 Coupe

YY07 DOES NOT refer to the model year.

 

do you know anything about the rest of the info

 

Here you go:

 

I see you've got most of your answer. I'll just add the list of event status codes so that you can follow your order in the process.


STATUS EVENT CODES
1100-Order placed at dealer
1101-Order accepted by GM
2001-Order generated to dealer
2005-Order replaced with GM Prospec order
2050-Order changed
2500-Order sent to production, preferenced
3000-Order accepted by production control
3100-Order available to sequence (now the tpw becomes more stable)
3300-Order selected for production by assembly plant
3400-Order broadcasted for production
3800-Vehicle produced
4150-Vehicle invoiced to dealer
4200-Vehicle shipped
5000-Vehicle delivered to dealer
6000-Vehicle delivered to customer

 

Is there any way to track these without going through your dealer or is it something they have to keep you informed on. I am especially looking at the status event code.

 

A dealer or other person with access to the GM system must look up the status. I think Ken does this if you'll post in his section of the forum.

However, it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect your dealer to check on this once in awhile, like once a week or so.

If they enter the 6-charcter order number of yours, it will return a status event code.

 

Priority 1 is the position of your order in all the orders placed by YOUR dealer. In other words, this order (your order) is to be considered first of any orders this dealer has in the system.

If you are at status code 3000, the "Priority 1" has already done it's job, and may only be relevant for establishing the TPW if your dealer has several orders that are accepted. The priority's primary function is for determining which of a dealer's orders is to be considered first when orders are being selected for production. Establishing priority becomes particularly important when constraints upset the usual sequence during order acceptance.

If you're ordering from a small dealer that occasionally gets an allocation for a Corvette, then ALL his placed orders will be "Priority 1". Most dealers don't bother building orders into the system unless they know they will have allocation. Large dealers will always have some allocation, so they may keep stock orders built into the system at lower priority than customer orders.

From my experience, there appears to be very little "gaming" on constraint issues with larger dealers. They will have other orders they want filled, so if they have the allocation, they allow stock orders to be filled once higher priority orders are by-passed because of constraints. This assumes SOME quantity of the constrained option/feature is available nationwide; if the constraint is ZERO, then no orders are accepted with that constraint.

If a customer's order is affected by constraints, larger dealers with stock orders may keep the customer's order at Priority 1, and simply allow it to remain in the system until the constraints come off. When a dealer has multiple allocations to use every order period, monkeying with or attempting to "game" the system can cause them to maybe lose allocation representing several thousands of dollars in value...big dealers aren't going to take that risk for a single constrained order.
