Factory Order Question
Hello!
I have never custom ordered a vehicle before, but I plan to do it for my camaro. I am currently in a lease that ends July 1st. If I want the camaro by that date, how far in advance do you think I should place my order? I live in metro Detroit if that makes a difference. Also, if the car comes earlier than my lease end date what will happen? Thanks so much! |

6 weeks....that's a safe bet and worst-case this is assuming you don't get jacked around by the dealer iat 1100 status, and actually not being sent to GM because They don't have an allocation..... dealer that has an allocation and orders it and it moves the code 2000 after a week.....it's six weeks or less...

I haven't said this for a while, but it needs repeating, if you do your first retail sold order from Becky you will be spoiled. For others who have ordered before but not from Becky then order from Becky you will kick yourself for not going through her earlier.
Doing a retail sold (factory) order is the adult version of an e-ticket roller coaster ride, but way more fun and at the end you have fulfilled the dream of getting the car you desire optioned the way you want. Laborsmith |

Couple questions: 1.) So would I have to order before 3/24 to get a 2017 built and 2.) If I tried to order after that date would I be denied or be able to get a 2018? Thank you! |

This thread is exactly what I needed for my ZL1.
Except, I plan to order my car in August when my down payment is ready...Oh no! According to Becky it looks like I might be in some trouble after March... |

Do yourself a favor, and order through Becky! I currently have a 2017 SS on order through her, and it has been a great experience.

Amen to this. And like Glen said.. 6 weeks. It was literally 6 weeks to the day from Order, to in the driveway. That included the haul from Mich. to Cali.

You should definitely order from Becky, I know I will next time. If you are looking for a ZL1 then u have a when new set of issues. I'm thinking that I would rather have root canal then dealing with the GM allocation process.
