If you're still at 1100 after nearly 2 months something is wrong, you need to research other dealers and get a straight answer.
I'm assuming your order was placed 06/26/15....not 2016 as indicated |

1100 Status Story
We placed an order with an in-state dealer in January of this year. 7 weeks later, it was still in the "nothing happening" 1100 status. I only found that out after finding this great website and the awesome Becky reporting the status.
We did exactly what regguy1, suggested above: after the dealer said he had no idea when he would get an allocation or when we could realistically expect to take delivery, we cancelled the order on the premise that we would rather have a new-model '16 than a late model '15. He refunded our 10% deposit. I called several dealers who had high volume Corvette sales and the last one I spoke with was Becky at Rodgers Chevrolet. She had all the right answers and requested only a minimal deposit. She placed our order the first day that orders for '16s were open, while speaking with us on the phone to be sure that everything was correct! 2 months later our Stingray had been built (she texted us with that news) and 3 weeks after that, we took delivery! And even better, she REALLY DOES honor all applicable discounts. So, if you do cancel your current order, do look at other dealers, but most definitely contact Becky. |

I placed my order for a 2014 Coupe 03/20/2014 and drove it home 05/22/2014
Dealer in the Detroit area. 1100 only means dealer made the order not that GM has accepted it. My order was 2000 (accepted by GM) in 7 days. |

My 2014 model took 5 months to work it's way through the system, the clear roof was on constraint. Lots of things can affect your delivery time.

Hey Hossman,
Just curious as to what area of California you are in and whether you are using a small or large California corvette dealer there. I'm about 3 weeks behind you on my Z51 order and still at the same status, 1100, as you. I'm on the California central coast where there are no large volume corvette dealers, although last week my dealer did say he has an allocation for me (but no movement off of 1100). |
