Hi guys, I just wanted to share this story...



So I had an order in for a 2SS 6m with my salesman at the dealership since summer. Every week I check, and never accepted by GM. Last week was the final allocation, so I called the salesman just to make sure. He said sorry, we only got one Camaro allocation this week and it had to go to the guy who ordered a few months before you... He was nice and gave me some leads on other new ones in-transit and even a nice used one. Ive been actively calling around, but they are selling so fast.


Now, there happens to be another dealership nearby (mostly sells all trucks) that I stopped in at this summer, but they wanted $1000 deposit to order one - without having any allocations. I said sorry, I don't want to pay that, but please call me if you get an allocation we can talk... Well I never heard back from this 2nd dealership. No call, email, or text. I figured they forgot about me or didn't take me seriously.


This morning I get a call from the 2nd dealership, and he says -"we got one allocation for a Camaro last week, and my manager asked me if I had any ideas what to order. I found your spec sheet and gave it to him. He called me back and said this order would never get picked up, because it is Manual shift, and the 6M is on constraint..." He then explained that the manager put a few different orders in the computer to try and get anything picked up so they had one last Camaro to sell on the lot. Somehow GM picked my order to accept! And now it is awaiting TPW he said.


He emailed me the order number and I verified on the GM chat, it said:


"your vehicle order has been accepted by General Motors, and is moving toward the production process."


Needless to say, I paid him his $1000 immediately

I know this does not guarantee it will be built, but it brightened my day to know there is a chance at least!

Since it's accepted, it should get built. Congrats!

Congratulations! If the status is 2000 or more it should be scheduled to be built. Rumor has it they are clearing out the parts bins.

I agree, short of a natural disaster, war, or a Lansing strike it will most likely get built. It will be one of the very last Camaros off the line. Congratulations!

[CTRifecta]

Not all dealerships are bad! Congrats that's pretty exciting.

[Junction65]

Congrats! Thats great news

Thanks guys! Crossing my fingers here. It will be Riptide blue with ash grey leather interior and carbon flash wheels. Mag-ride and NPP, no sunroof.

This is what worries me we are in the middle of a long and contentious labor strike, about to go to war in Israel, and all we need now is the natural disaster to roll through

Make sure to check the status code. I had an order in for a 2024 ZL1 that the GM chat bot also said had been “accepted and moving towards the production process.” But when I pressed further, it never progressed beyond 1100 status.

Congrats! Good to see there is still some luck going around! Hopefully the strike will continue to miss the plant.
