For some dealers, the two are one and the same. Actually they are, but two different perspectives. So when asking about allocation, try to determine if the answer is the guide number. If the dealer has a guide number of 18 Camaro coupes there is a good chance the weekly allocations will be less than 1 a week, given there are more than 18 weeks in a model year.

Also, the dealers are told how many units of their guide number they can use every two weeks but not told how many they can use each week until that weeks ordering process begins. Fortunately all of this only applies to each Chevrolet vehicle line otherwise it might be hard to follow. LOL.

No Thank you! In my case my Salesman was the Internet Sales Manager so he had the allocation #'s. He even showed me his chart and said too bad you weren't here a few days earlier I had 7 Camaro allocations. Like you said he had to wait for the next ordering cycle to see if they would have more that week. He went on to say we just got a lot but if don't don't get one we'll call and get one and ram it down their throat. The guy has been pretty awesome so far, I been referring to him as male Becky lol. I assume since they are a larger volume dealer they can get one advanced to them from the guide # or maybe just get an extra.

In any case I did get in that next order cycle and it went with the accepted blade spoiler so I was happy!
