I placed my original order for a 22 ZLE back in September of last year, never moved past 1100. The dealer resubmitted the order for 23 a couple of weeks ago right away to hold my allocation as I’m next in line, but I’m still currently at 1100.
I placed a 2nd identical order a few days ago at a much larger dealership that does more sales in volume with 2 people ahead of me waiting on Camaros but they gave me an eta of 6-8 months. The sales manager only took a $500 refundable deposit as he said this car won’t be hard to sell if I back out.
At this point with how hard it is to get a car built let alone accepted by GM, I say place as many orders with high volume dealerships that offer a low refundable deposit and aren’t charging over MSRP as you want. The dealers know all too well that they’ll sell the car regardless before it even hits the showroom.
