Default Allocation

Is there anyway that I can find out if a dealer really has a allocation for the ZR1

Yes!
Ask them to go to www.gmprograminfo.com
Click on products
Then 2019 corvette ZR1 allocation
Then dealer allocation

There it will show how many allocations they have. I had my dealer do it and they printed me out a sheet.

Default Cant find a dealer with Allocation

I ordered a 2019 ZR1, ZR3 package. No allocation, no confirmation after 3 months of BS.

Are you kidding me? I cant by the car I want because a dealer has no allocations? WTF

Any help would be appreciated.

Huh!-Why does it say "Total ESTIMATED Allocation"? Seems to me the dealer Does or Does Not have one, why the hedge verbiage?

Same as when the C7s first came out. If dealer was not high volume/sold corvettes-No allocations. I went to my dealer, GM, asked if I bring cash can we talk? No.

- Dealers' allocations would increase if additional production is added. Likewise there is no doubt some legal clause exonerating GM in the event that catastrophe (nuclear war, Godzilla, etc.) limits or ends planned production.

You can call the Regional Sales Manager as well. He can tell you also when (ballpark) your car is scheduled to be built.

Every report from GM shows the words 'Estimated Shipments' because at some point, a dealer's lawyer probably sued GM when a plant somewhere building a Chevy Vega had a part shortage and built the dealer 8 cars instead of 10. "But you promised me 10 cars, not 8. Here's a lawsuit to thank you."

So to account for plant issues, a supplier maybe not able to make enough thingamajigs for the cars, or a strike at the whatzit supplier, or even if the dealership has a problem where their own bank won't extend them credit for new cars to put on the lot, GM says "ESTIMATED" shipments.

Hope that helps.
