Allocations

Forgive me if this is a dumb question as im new here, but does anyone have some sort of way to figure out what dealerships have the shortest waitlist for their allocations (Nationwide).

I have never ordered a new Vette and I think now is a good time for me in life to do so. Is it best to find a dealer with a higher number of allocations to place the order with?
I know my local dealer does not sale very many Corvettes. I would of coarse be sure I would only get charged MSRP for the car.

Give your local dealer a chance he may only have 5 or on his list.

I called my local dealer and they only have 27 on their list. I think I will give them my order.

Big question is how many does he get a year. The dealer I purchased from only gets 8-9 per year for example.

What Ringmaster said. If they only get 7 cars a year you're waiting for 4 years.

Also, did they give you a written contract, signed by the general manager or owner that they will deliver the car at MSRP, no matter when it gets delivered? Did they guarantee, in writing, that your deposit is fully refundable? The big three dealers will refund your deposit and will sell you the car at MSRP.

At a minimum, I would also get on a list at once of the Big Three as a back up plan in case your local dealer can't deliver in a timely fashion.
