$1k isn't bad at all. My dealer (Courtesy Chevrolet in San Diego, CA) required a $10k non-refundable deposit. My deposit money was transferred to them on March 28, which I've heard was the last day to allocate for 2015s. However, found out that they have not even submitted my order yet for my 2LT convertible- artic white with kalahari. They claim they will do it this week, but I'm a bit skeptical after reading all the posts here.
If they can't get the order in, I sincerely hope they don't try to hold onto my money until the 2016s arrive, which would be 4-5 months. Am tempted to try to cancel it and just find a dealer that has a similar car in stock, and try to get it with the supplier discount.

Ask your dealer to provide you a screen shot of your order from GM OrderWorkbench. That will show the order status code. You are undoubtedly at 1100.

All of this reading is depressing me because I think I'm in the same boat. Went to a local dealer trying to get them to accept my GM Supplier Discount. Well they didn't but was willing to meet me 1/2 way. They said they had 6 allocations (seemed odd to have that many so late in March) but I placed an order anyway. Artic White Z51 3LT w/red interior, white top, black wheels, red calipers & carbon flash badges. They wanted $5k deposit (refundable). Not a big deal to me as long as I get the car. Now I'm concerned because here is my status.
3/21 Ordered at Dealer
3/24 CCC gave me my code of 1100
4/6 Still at 1100
No movement. If he had allocations like he said shouldn't it have moved beyond 1100 already?

Exactly how so? I feel they did too but which part? The allocations? The deposit? The fact that they made me feel like I'm getting the car. They did say I'd probably have to wait about 12 weeks for it. The fact that it's stuck at 1100 does that mean they have no allocations and won't see one in the near future?

non refundable deposit
Ok - I have read the posts regarding dealer allocations and constraints. My question is, will I recieve delivery of my C7 by summer? After reading some of these posts; I am really worried. I placed my order in the beginning of March. My order includes the Z51 package, Volocity Yellow, Magnetic Ride and the painted roof. I am now wondering if I will get it. I put a substantial down payment. I also have a C6, but dont want to drive it as I am trading it in. But whats the sense of not driving it if the C7 wont be here until who knowd when! My dealer is not on the list of top Vette dealers. Any insight would be appreciated.

Constraints don't actually follow the percentages precisely, but it gives you a good idea of the real situation.

It looks like you may have to reorder for a 2016, as your 15 order will not carry over, dealer may have had an allocation but your options were on constraint.
Search the big dealers to see if they have a VY in stock or coming their way soon.

Allocation
Do not know where you are located but if anywhere near Canton, Texas- Lewis Chevrolet took my order plus two of my friends March 16th and received allocation within three weeks for all three Corvettes. They are two 2LT and Z06.
All three are coded 3000 with Target Production Dates of April 20th and then from what we hear about two weeks later at the dealer.
All of us paid just $100 down as Mr. Lewis does GOB business (Good ole boy) transactions. Been in business since '65 so he has reputation at stake.
Check him out if you get irritated.

Thanks all - I am in upstate New York.
I checked with my dealer today and this was thier reply: "Your order HAS been pushed thru and accepted and all of the other ones have not. So you'll be first before anyone else in the country that ordered a Z51. You're #1 on the build list which is a very good sign."

wny is not all that far from Dearborn Mi. I had extremely good luck with Les Stanford and my order progressed exactly to the day as Dennis said it would. if your deal goes bad give them a call.
I just checked Les Stanfords website and they have a vy 2lt z51 in stock.

I switched to a big corvette dealership who is owned by one of my dads friends. my dad placed the order for me directly with the owner of the dealership. said he can for sure get me a 2015 in time before the dead line. lets hope.

My dealership claims they have 3 allocations left for 2015, and my order is one of the 3 ;-) Just hope that Arctic White with Kalahari doesn't have any constraints...haven't seen any mention of that in this thread.

AW and Kalahari have never been constrained. However, is it a Z51? Z51's are constrained. A coupe? If a coupe, which roof? All but the transparent roofs are on constraint.
