High volume and allocation dealer in oregon? For a zl1 custom order

Rocksteady · 08-31-2023, 08:49 PM

Hi Everybody!

Is there reputable high volume dealer in northern or central oregon (or washington state) that gets a lot of camaro allocations?

I m looking for an allocation slot to build a custom order zl1 coupe.

Any and all tips appreciated.

Kind regards

Mirco

I purchased my camaro from Primasing in Lebanon. It was a canceled order.
I had an order placed with Knudtsen in Idaho.

I contacted nearly every dealer in Oregon. Those two worked out best.
There are a number of ZL1's available right now in Oregon.

I sure wish that was a manual.

I sure wish my car was an Automatic.
get this one. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...ckType=listing

When I was there earlier I spoke to a guy named Ed. They also have a very low miles 2021 Blue LT1.

If you can find a ZL1 anywhere close to what you want, get it. The ordering process really really sucks.

Wow! There is actually an available NEW ZLE and not for some insane markup? Somebody grab this stat!! Didn’t know these existed anymore.

Thanks everybody for the answers and the recommendations.

I really would like to do a custom order though. To have it how I like it. And I don’t care, if it takes longer. So if anybody by chance knows about any allocations coming up, I d be all ears! ��

I'd take a look at some of the 2024 ordering / constraint threads on the forum to get a sense of how difficult it might be to place an order now. Especially with a potential UAW strike on 9/14, folks here are recommending to find an on the lot 2023 for good reason.. Many (myself included) have placed orders a few months ago now, and still aren't 100% sure if/when our cars will be delivered due to the strike..

One way to get in touch with a high volume dealership is to research who in the PNW sells corvettes the most, and to reach out to those dealers.

Good luck!

Try contacting Eric at Primasing Chevy Lebanon. Or, Garry Bower at Knudtsen Chevy in Post Falls Idaho.
Garry In Idaho was really good at getting the order placed (didn't wait long enough to see if GM provided a allocation)
Primasing is where I actually purchased a Camaro that was previously ordered, but the original buyer canceled due to the 6 months transit time from the factory.

Everyone else I contacted didn't go anywhere. though I almost bought the LT1 from Dick Hanna

I don't think anyone is a high volume dealer for Camaro's in Oregon. Supposedly Dick Hanna (according to them) was the highest volume for corvettes. Capital Chevy salem might sell a bunch but, they told me they could not/would not place a custom order.

Thanks Jkor!

That’s great news! I will call them.

And also, Oregon would be ideally, but it could be anywhere on the whole West Coast really. I can drive it home…

So if anyone would know an additional trustworthy highvolume dealer on the west coast that can get an order through, that also would be appreciated.
