The thing I have really learned in this is dealers don't want to order cars. It took me 3 failed attempts before I found a dealer willing to order one. The first guys I dealt with weren't willing to negotiate much, and wanted $10k down, non-refundable, to even think about it (and they had no allocation!)
Dealers I talked to that had ZL1s on their lot were falling over themselves to get in touch with me. As soon as I said it wasn't the one I wanted, they bailed.
I get it.. they have a lot full of cars, they'd much rather sell what they have than order one and hope you follow through on the purchase. I'm sure there are a lot of people that jerk dealers around on orders. But yeah, it is really painful from the purchaser side. I have been tempted to just settle and pick up a car that isn't exactly what I want, just so I don't have to wait. I'm just sure I'll regret it.
