You put your order in , it sits at 1100 until GM says you have an allocation, as true for a dealer as an individual. Unless your a big volume Camaro dealer like some in the U.S. you just hope your number gets called.

That said given the line up to buy Camaro's ahead of the January '24 end of run date I doubt Cdn dealers are expecting to see many more the rest of the year. Likely the big U.S. dealers will be hoarding them when they can get them. I see posts on the forum about them asking above MSRP especially for the higher end units like the 2SS, LE and ZL1's.

Of course I sincerely hope you're right. But it begs the question why would they tell me they've already ordered their entire allotment for 2024? This isn't some backwater dealer that's only sold a couple of Camaro's in the past decade. Spencer Chev currently has more Camaro's in inventory than any other Ontario dealer. If anyone should know what's going on, you'd think it would be them. Or is GM's allocation process so broken and incomprehensible that the dealers haven't a clue what's going on?
