Les Stanford Delivery Time

The bad thing is that Mike Furman with Criswell Chevrolet will not honor the GM supplier discount. Les Stanford Chevrolet will honor the discount. The GM supplier discount is saving me almost $6,000

Found that out today, and that is a shame. Not sure why Criswell doesn't, aside for the fact that I suppose they don't have to. Regardless, a deal is a deal for me.
The point I was making was regarding the duration asked in the original post.

Understand 3 things here.
1) Les Stanford has seen a huge uptake in orders since Supplier and Employee pricing was released since none of the other large allocation dealers honor it so their order bank now greatly exceeds their weekly allocation. That can't be said of the other volume dealers, most are placing dealer stock orders every week to fill out their allocations.
2) GM had no allocation for US dealers for 2 of the 4 weeks in March which delayed a number of 1100 orders from getting to 2000. Dennis was very up front about that with me when I placed my order on 3/28.
3) Once the order gets to 2000 it's out of the dealers hands so it doesn't matter which dealer put in the order, it will move forward at GM's pace, independent of the dealer.
With that said, I placed a supplier deal order for a Z51 coupe on 3/28 with Les Stanford and the order went to 2000 on 4/25, one week earlier than Dennis expected.
FYI, there are only 2 dealers in the US with more allocation than Les Stanford, Kerbeck and MacMulkin.
One more thing, Dennis was also very up front that Z51 Vert allocation is a crap shoot. At this point you are probably better off ordering a 2015 if you want a Z51 Vert and get supplier or employee price. If you are willing to pay MSRP then one of the other large dealers may be your best bet. Coupes aren't a problem.

I thought it was the other way around for z51 coupes rather than z51 convertibles with supplier/credit union discounts.
Maybe I miss understood Dennis when I'd talked to him today.
He has my paper work and will put me in the list for a 2015 Z51 coupe.
It looks like is going to be a 2015 in my future rather than a 2014.

Valuable Update

Wow, things have really changed. I ordered a 1LT Z51 coupe on 2/12. and Les Stanford had it built & at their lot in 40 days! The relevant and updated information you provided should be VERY VALUABLE to those who have recently ordered.

Hey St!ngray. I've been trying to get a hold of Dennis for a few days now with no luck. Maybe you can help me out here. Did he tell you they are out of Z51 coupe allocations for 2014? I was considering waiting for the 2015's as well. Did he say he was going to honor the credit union discount on those?

I put a deposit down on the 2014 Corvette way back in August 2012 with Dennis. I was number three on their list. My order was booked and confirm by Les Stanford on the first possible day that you could. That was in April last year.
Dennis went to great lengths to get my order corrected after an important option was inadvertently overlooked. At that time, there were lots of rumors around the production schedule. I was very happy with Dennis and my treatment by Les Stanford.

I placed my 2014 Z51 coupe order with Dennis on Apr 3rd and it was accepted with an order number on Apr 4.
I am still at 1100 but Dennis said that was to be expected and he said I should have no problem getting one of the 2014 allocation. When I ordered he said to expect an estimated 9 week delivery time. Maybe I will get lucky and hit 2000 next week
The waiting at 1100 is the hardest part or the process

I do not think I received any paperwork, just an email with an order number. I put the deposit on CC (wish I could put the who car on CC for the points) so I figured it was all done until I get closer to a car to pick up at the Museum.
