When are the dealers going to know thier allocations for January? I am first in line for a coupe. Someone is ahead of me but getting a convertible. Is the plant up and running?

Allocations are released every Thursday. Constraints every Tuesday.

Where are the constraints listed? I ordered a Orange 2SS with 1LE package and a PDR

Constraints are not made available to the public. It can be considered competitive information.


Your best source of info is your dealer.


I have another GM car on order (CT5 Blackwing) and my dealer is keeping me up to date with constraint info. Right now, the hold up for my car is lack of Carbon Fiber.

Check the ordering section, The status check thread that JoeP is running, there's some one there has been putting out some of the constraints information. It'll show model numbers that are nationally allocated in a set period but allocations are really only known at the dealer level.

So here is my allocation story. I'm smelling bs.

On December 22, I asked a local dealership if they had an allocation for a 2022 Camaro. They said "yes". So I went over the next day and placed the order. I wasn't given a confirmation code because "some of the managers were not there that day". But the first week of Jan, they would put my order in and I would get the code. As of today, I still don't have the code. They did however, deposit my $1000. So today I emailed the dealership. Below are the two responses that I got.

1st Response- This is Jim XXXXX sales manger for Chevrolet of Naperville. I saw your e-mail come in and wanted to let you know your Camaro was put into the process for ordering. We were not able to put the floor mat package on the order because they are on national back order. Everything else that you wanted on your Camaro was put on the vehicle. As we get more information from GM we will update you on your Camaro order. Please don't hesitate to call or e-mail us if you do have any more lingering questions.
Thanks,
Jim

**** I sent a response to that....

2nd Response - So the plants were shut down during the holiday so we added the Camaro to our status to be picked up by GM. We should know next week when GM will pick up the Camaro. We typically earn 1-2 Camaros a month and have no other Camaros to be picked up except for your factory order.
Thanks,
Jim

What's your order number? You can use the automated chat feature at Chevy's website to check your order status...I'd be shocked if it was anything other than 1100.

That's just it! I don't think I'm even at 1100 status! I've never used the chat feature on Chevy's website, but I can give it a try. Thanks!

You can get the 6-letter order number from your dealer the minute the order is in the system, even if GM did not yet pick the order up, and it doesn’t even require the dealer to have an allocation. If the dealer is unwilling to provide you that order number, then I would personally get my deposit back and go somewhere else.

You will need that order number when contacting GM on their site.

Yeah, I just figured I will roll with them for now. Its not like I know of a another dealer with an allocation.

If you put down a deposit and didn't walk out w/ the 6-digit code......you need to go back and get it. That's literally what you're paying for with a deposit.

[CamaroSue]

Yeah, I screwed up! I trusted them. I bought a Corvette from them (not the current one) and got service for all my cars there for about 15 years. I was just sure they wouldnt risk all future sales and service.

To be fair, we (you?) don't know yet if they DIDN'T put an order in.

You you really should call your salesman and get that build sheet with your code, and then you can go post it up in the thread that JoeP moderates. He'll give you your current status anytime you'd like.

[CamaroSue]

Yeah, thats the only reason I’ve been so patient. It kinda seems like they may have the allocation. If they flat out lied, it’s not going to work out well for them. And I’ll just see if I can get the car from Joe! I’m not too far from Michigan!
