Default Dealers in PNWWe have had an order in at a dealer in issaquah wa since November. It is now May and still no allocation. We understand starting in August GM starts on the next model year. If so then we maybe should look at another dealer, preferably in the Pacific Northwest . Anyone have any recommendations for Seattle, Portland, Spokane, tri-cities?

Don't buy in the PNW. Better deals to be had elsewhere to include existing stock sitting on dealer lots. Fly out, sign the papers, enjoy the road trip back.

We have explored ordering from the top 3, which are all back east & you are right that prices & wait time seem to be dropping. We are just a bit nervous about maybe having mechanical problems interrupting the trip home. Still may take the risk yet. Currently have been made an offer on the west side for a 3LT with front end lift but no mag ride but several options added on for under 90k. Our build from GM site was slightly under 90k for a 2LT. As of this moment we are still researching all options, including traveling. This forum, as expected, has become an invaluable resource. Thank you for your input.

Camp Chevrolet in Spokane is where I bought a Chevy Bolt for my Parts Runner. Issaquah was 4k over MSRP and they had an offer from the Port of Seattle and wanted me to bid against them ! They sold it to me for MSRP with no other add ones what so ever. They had a White C8 on the show room but I was not impressed with the Door and Panel Fit. If You go to the Chevrolet Web site and You can see what every Dealer in the Nation has on the Lot and what they have coming in.
PS. I trailered my Bolt home to Seattle and yes it did take 70 Gallons of Gas to go get it. But a 5 hour drive was worth 5k .

If you are researching dealers, ask them how many allocations they have. When I was a moderator over on Z06vette, if dealers had no allocations they didn’t get any Vetts unless they could bargain one from another dealer which was dependent on demand.

Just looked at their website. They have a beautiful silver flare 3LT but at the moment we are trying to focus on a riptide with black interior. Thank you for the suggestion tho & we will keep checking in if we don’t find something soon
