Wait List Time Today
Curious about the current wait lists at big dealers i.e. MacMulkin, Ciocca, et al. How long are buyers waiting to get from initial deposit to event code 3000 and TPW?

Seems like there are more and more stories of shorter wait times.
Mine was about 9 months - 11/2/21 deposit, drove home from museum first part of July 2022. Could have been a few weeks shorter had I been able to get to bowling green earlier, but had some conflicts

MacMulkin appears to be averaging 6~9 months now from deposit to delivery....
I waited 9 months (from deposit to delivery) and received my C8 this past Dec..

mike is reprtedly a stand up guy blah blah but the waiting time seems to be longer then mcmulkin and ciocca. They are the runt of the litter for the big three. Best bet is pony up a deposit on two of the lists the deposits are refundable I wish i did that. I have bought a car from McMulkin and Chriswell in the past the experience at Mcmulkin was superior although I did not use Mike the last time. McMulkin will also price protect you even if your not a 2000 status which I did not know when i plonked the money down that cost me as the 23 went up twice while I am waiting and if I go into 2024 will go up again.

If you want to get it faster and at msrp I would recommend MM it will probably get you a c8 bet. 7 to 10 months, ciocca you are looking at over 12 months for sure, my personal experience is I placed a deposit with Ciocca (local) back in March then I placed a deposit with MM in June (3 months later) and I am currently at status 2000 ( probably April delivery) with MM and I deferred last month because I didn’t want Z51, with ciocca I haven’t even get the request for my build yet (I’m going to request my deposit back) so I would definitely go with MM out of the big 2 and they have a great customer service

2022 C8 of the Year Finalist - Modified
I got mine from MacMulkin in about 9 months (delivered a year ago). From what I've seen here they are still about the same or maybe a little faster. I worry, though, how the Z06 and E-Ray will impact deliveries of the Stingray.

My opinion Criswell is way too long of a wait and zero communication on where you stand. I would go with MM if I had to do it again although I got mine at Ciocca. I got my deposit back from Criswell. If you don’t have a second deposit down somewhere else you are shooting yourself in the foot. Sam

One really nice thing about buying at MacMulkin is that you always know where on the list you are because you can look it up online with your order number or email address (depending upon which list you're on). As orders ahead of you get matched with allocations, you can see your order move up to the top of the list. That is a great customer service!
