Default Canada

Still no pricing, I am #3 with a dealer that has 3 allocations.
Dealers in Canada are not getting more then 5-10 allocations.
Sitting at 1100 status, dealer still has no information. People on this forum know more then dealers in Canada.
Can anyone provide some info as to when things might get moving for Canada? I know second week of September for the U.S, just trying to figure out if I will get the car by June, July 2020.
Appreciate any info!

Not true on 5-10 allocation. My dealer got 20 as #4 Corvette dealer in Canada so top 3 got even more

Pricing won’t be available until October . We won’t be picked up
in Canada on the sept round anyways as they want to ensure they don’t ship
up in cold climates until April ... if you’re #3 you should get picked up in that round and April-May delivery ...

Mine is a not a base, ordered a 2LT. Question, why if my dealer has 3 allocations, nothing I ordered is on restriction, would they not send all 3 to the dealer at the same time? Appreciate the feedback.

because not all 3 of your dealer's allocated cars are produced at the same time. Would you want to wait 3 weeks while allocation #3 decides on what s/he wants even though your car has already been made?

Because that is not how allocations work.

NO chance...allocations spread out over the model year

With only 3 allocations, more like 3 MONTHS apart.

Thanks again for the info! Dealer "promised" me that car would be here by July, at least I know from the forum that chances are slim for that.
If the #1 person picks a 1LT, 2nd picks a 2LT, and 3rd (me) picks a 2LT, #1 person either has a chance to change their order, or I get moved to #2?

That depends on how the dealer handles the situation. Normally, #2 gets moved up and then the former #1 is next in line. There's a good chance that this dealers first allocation won't be until November, so #1 would not have any issues.
