Newbie ZL1 1LE 23 - order
Thanks for permitting me to join the forum. I am interested in special ordering a 6MT 23 ZL1 1LE, from a large freeway Chevy dealer. The dealer said over the phone they will sell the car for MSRP with no additional fees - aside from standard TTL.
It is possible the dealer will take my $1000 refundable deposit and let me sit around and wait for months with a 1000 order code status. The salesman claimed eight customers at the dealership are still waiting, for a 22 allocation - kind of late to the game. The salesman mentioned I would be first in-line, for a 23 allocation. We did not yet discuss what will happen with the other eight people who are waiting, for a 22 ZL1. Perhaps the group of eight will be given the opportunity to move over to 23 orders - ahead of my potential allocation/slot. **Should I place several refundable deposits with three or four large Chevy dealers and wait for Chevrolet corporate to provide an allocation to the dealer and accept my order, for a 23 car? Happy to wait nine months +, for the delivery, of a 23 ZL1 1LE. The idea with multiple deposits, is to avoid running around during the Spring of 23, to find an allocation which will be built before the Camaro line is shut down, for good. Several 22 buyers ended up with nothing due to supply chain issues and dealers who promised cars and never had enough or any allocations, to begin with. Please let me know, if you have any advice when it comes to ordering a car. Thanks for reading the post. |

You should probably revisit with a dealer that has allocations or check with Joe here in the forums.

The dealer accepts your deposit and the 'buyer' sits at 1000 - the order has not yet been accepted, by Chevrolet corporate. I believe I read on this forum the 23 ordering guides will not be released until the third week of April 22. |

I assume the known allocations will not apply until the 23 ordering guides have been released and the 23 cars are available to order. |

That’s gonna be a tough car to order as mentioned above. ZL1 and especially ZL1 with 1LE has been heavily constrained over the last few months.
