How does it work?
Do you have to pay for the car when ordered or delivered?
Do you have to leave deposits for all optioned items?

Just call the NCM and ask for Shane or Becky You might have to leave a detailed massage on voice mail and your email addy. He returns them fairly quickly.

I found it hard to sleep the night I was trying to decide on my build. And at the last minute they told me they added a $10k markup. Now I know how I moved up the list so fast.

Ordered mine and accepted yesterday. 2LZ Z07.

$10k ADM but only a $1000 deposit refundable so if I find one in the meantime cheaper I’ll bail on this one. Basically a free option on a Z07 built to my specifications 👍🏻

When I saw the MSRP allocation available only reason I didn’t jump on it is my deposit for my order was $10K. I would lose the money on bailing. If it was $1000, I would have bailed.

Selling allocations isn't illegal and does not conflict with site rules. We've heard that some dealers will not accept a transfer of an allocation from one customer to another because of prohibitions from GM.

Typical response in such proposed allocation sales, however, should be a clear signal that most people on the site do not embrace the concept of "scalping" an allocation. I'd recommend offering the slot for free or taking the sales effort to a site where the users might be more tolerant of it.
