TRE or SRE, if you are eligible for the Program Price, than you can get it.

Not to belabor the point but would there be a difference between TRE and SRE in the case of an order advancing when it comes to constraints such as LT1 and convertibles?

No difference....
Constraints apply to ....All Orders..

None.

If an option is on limited constraint, the likelihood of a dealer to being able to use an allocation that includes something on constraint is directly related to the number of allocations the dealer is awarded: large volume Camaro dealers will have more chances than a dealer who sells relatively few.

Allocations are vehicle line specific. A dealer who sells a hundred trucks and four Camaros a month will be awared a hundred truck and four Camaro allocations the following month.

There are methods a dealer can use to increase allocations, the best known being taking allocations other dealers decide to let go.

Interesting, is there a status code at which one of the constrained items (LT1) is allocated (no pun intended) to an order

laborsmith · 08-12-2016, 06:51 PM

Not as such, but 2000 means the order including the constraint has been placed against the allocation. Perhaps the answer is actually yes, status event 2000 would be the code.

That is a long guide. I'll take my chances on my own.

Thanks again for your patience with this newbie

Becky.. I passed by a deaer this afternoon and they had a sign that said "Employee Pricing Event". Have you heard or seen anything about this? It's too late to call them tonight (they close at 7pm) and ask questions.

Thanks

Just wanted to say I really appreciated this guide. It helped my immensely as I went through the ordering process. I do have two points I would like to add where I feel the guide was lacking:

1. The information on tracking the railcar only works if CSX is the company hauling your railcar. My dealer gave me the railcar # but didn't tell me my car was being shipped by CN railroad. The CSX hotline had a record of my railcar, but it was from a previous delivery several months earlier. This just led to confusion and frustration.

2. If Jack Cooper is the company hauling your car by truck, you can track it via VIN on palsapp.com. My status here was listed as "pending" for several days before delivery. Once delivered, you can download the dealership's delivery receipt.

Thank you very much Dennis. It cost me over $49,000 and several months to put it together.
