Crazy allocation question.....
Hello everyone! I'm sure this thread will get a few laughs, but I figure maybe there is a real long shot. Anyway I got really late to the C7 Ordering game and put down my deposit last week. I was initially told October/November (I know that was a huge lie), but from what I'm reading on other forums it looks like I may be waiting until next Summer for the 2nd allocation at the dealer where I left my deposit. This dealer is huge and got 69 for the first pass, but I'm #72 so unless someone cancels or refuses delivery I'm kind of beat. Does anyone know of any dealers who still have any spots left, or have a very large allocation? I'm thinking that if the line is longer the possibility of a cancelled order is higher? I look forward to any feedback, but please be nice......I'm new

As you said, i would guess all current allocations are likely to be spoken for... So you can:
A) Watch for cancellations to pop up , saw Rick Conti had a few available a couple weeks ago. Seemed like they went lightning fast.
B) stay in line, my dealer (Mike Furman, Criswell) told me about 15-20% of paid in-line deposits fall through regardless.
C) get in line for 2015 MY year, I think the big guys are already taking deposits!
D) Hunt down a suitcase edition

If you are interested in a local dealer who still has late allocations mine still has a few. PM me if you are interested and I can get you connected with them. They are about 60 miles east of Dallas.

A lot of folks on here order from out of state, no big deal at all. There are 500 "Premier Editions", (Known on the forum as a suitcase edition) at top dealers around the country. Intended as show room demo cars, they are also ultimately available for sale as well.

It had been a few weeks since I checked - and the last time was before all of the reviews came out. My guess is most dealers had an influx of pre-orders after all the positive press came out.
