MacMulkin wait time
Hi,
Newbie here looking for some help. I have been researching the forums trying to educate myself. I am in the situation where I am not in a rush to get a vehicle. I would like to get the car in the spring of 2023 (not a Z06). I live in the Seattle area and from the posts I've seen the dealers here are marking up C8s way above MSRP. So I've settled on purchasing from a big dealer with MacMulkin's name coming up the most frequently.
Based on the current deposit to vehicle delivery times, can anyone advise me when to order the vehicle through them? Right now is 18 months away from my desired delivery timeframe. Not looking for a crystal ball or anything as lots of variables can come into play, but I just wanted a rough estimate on if I should be trying to send in a deposit now or wait 6 months/12months etc.
Thanks!

I was #692 in December 20 and got allocation in April and delivery in August. Wait list is much higher now. You can keep deferring with MM if you're number is up. I was very happy with MM. My advice is get on their list asap.

FWIW - we were at MM 3 weeks ago and put our deposit on a C8 - we were told we are #1318 on the deposit list and should see our car in 8 - 12 months.
I should have mentioned this in my original post - last Sunday I got a call from one of the salesmen from MM - they had 3 new C8's available for immediate sale. Unfortunately none of them were what I wanted. I should of asked how they became available but didn't think of it - I would guess for some reason the original buyers backed out of the purchase. He did ask me what I was looking for and my price range if any came up in the future.

Just for reference, I had placed my deposit at MM on 9/24/2020. I was 618 at that time. Now, the wait list has grown to almost 1350 new people at almost the same point a year later. The demand for this car seems to be growing big time based on this. I waited 9 months from deposit to delivery. Hopefully, BGA can produce enough cars to keep the wait time to at least a year.

Since nobody has mentioned this if you aren't going to take a Museum delivery you need to ask MacMulkin if they are doing courtesy dealer deliveries to a dealer near you. They are in the process of hand picking dealers who they will work with on courtesy deliveries and they will not tell you which dealer it is until you order your car. Hopefully they will tell you before you make a deposit if they will have a dealer near you they are going to work with if you plan to take a courtesy delivery.
I agree with everyone here that you'll wait at least a year.

I contacted MacMulkin about a month or so ago and was told 8-12 months for delivery. Things may have changed since then so best to just contact a salesperson at the dealership and see what they say.

If i were you, I'd put in a deposit asap. Personally my deposit went down on April 29th of this year. I'm getting an allocation next month and was told by MM I'll be getting an email to submit my build this month. Have nothing but good things to say about them.
