Order question
Hi Guys, I'm planning on ordering a 2019 grand sport soon and have a few questions for you experts.
I'm in NY - about how long would it take to get the car once I order it through the dealership assuming they have allocations?
To those who have ordered through a dealership, what kind of deposit did they require, or didn't they?
Thanks in advance for the help.

My car took 7 weeks from ordering to arriving at dealer.
I would think $500 would be a normal deposit. All dealers are different.

NY is a pretty big state.
If you are upstate towards Buffalo-Syracuse, I would contact Van Bortel (no personal experience); if you are in SE NY (Albany down through Montauk), both Kerbeck and MacMulkin are close by and good to work with.
I have found the big dealers are a much better buying experience than the small local dealers.
Since orders go in every two weeks, the closer you are to an order submission (to GM) date, the shorter time will be to delivery. 6-7 weeks is typical from order acceptance by GM to delivery to a forum dealer.

Or like I have from Kerbeck, they can order exactly what you want, GM delivers to them and you pick it up! I flew to Atlantic City for the first I bought from them. For the Grand Sport ordered in 15 minutes on the phone and found a small Chevy dealer some 30 miles away that accepted Courtesy Delivery for a cost of $250! They did a great job in putting on the side skirts and splitter. Let me watch and take pics inside the service bay!
