Nevermind

I'd like to order a new (very specific) 2SS 1LE. Recommendation in the sticky was to go through Becky, but seems like she's not here any more?

Who should I use?

I called around to 10 or so dealerships looking for anyone that has a 21 allocation and to no surprise, everyone said no. One dealer said they weren't going to get the cars they ordered and would not bother taking my order at all. Most offered to put it in for a 2022 late summer.

One dealer was more helpful than the others and better with communication so I feel like if I order locally, it'll be with him.

I've never ordered a new car, so recommendations/explanations on the process would be helpful. I've read through other's experiences, and I see that it is not the best time to order one, but getting what I wanted wasn't a practical reality before now.

There is a lightly used one that matches my must haves, but they are asking $7k over MSRP and that feels like a seriously bad value, even if I'm able to get the car 6 months sooner.

OP, would you mind changing the title of the thread? I know you didn't mean wrong, but this sentence as written makes me wince every time it comes up among new posts. Thank you.

This is the stickied thread I was referring to.

Specifically:

Quote:
CHECKING ORDER STATUS

Who is Becky?
(Yes, this will sound like a commercial but she deserves it. No, I did not buy my Camaro from Becky, but I should have.)

Becky sells Camaros. Lots and lots of Camaros. She also provides order status to anyone wanting it, whether or not they bought from her. She lives inside Camaro6 and only comes out for holidays, special occasions, a car meet, to race one of her awesome cars. She does the volume to get your car quickly from the factory, has the knowledge to navigate the challenges, providers the customer service at an unmatched level anywhere in the industry, provides the transparency we demand in the information age, has the passion to celebrate the wins with you and the right amount of empathy to mourn the setbacks.

If you have not purchased your car yet, or are having trouble with Dealer Allocation, contact her. She will help you or give you the advice you need. She offers the discounts up front. http://www.camaro6.com/forums/member.php?u=11374
