How long to build my car?

So I just placed my order at my local dealers which im almost certain is one of the biggest well known dealers in my state and everything saturday October-29th. Well I didnt get any tracking info then and still havent. Its now tuesday and I still havent heard anything back. I dont even know if my order has been submitted yet or not. How long does this entire process take and how soon should I hear something back from my sales guy about updates and whats going on before I start bugging him? How do i track my build? I dont think I can handle this wait and its only been 3 days lol.

I'm a bit of a noob myself, but have read up and down these forums as I prepare to order my Camaro in the upcoming months. From what I hear, it can take anywhere from 5 to 12+ weeks. Some people have had great luck, and others have had... some very long waits.

The general consensus from what I've read around says that if you're dealer is a more seasoned and popular, with good stock, it should have more allocations, and thus more priority on custom orders.

Also, you should ask your dealer right now for a copy of the workbench, which has the details of your order, and some useful information.

Again, I'm a noob, so I'd reccommend searching through the forums, and hopefully someone more experienced can give you more insight, or link you to more information regarding this.

Look at the Newbie Guide stickied above. Most of your questions are answered there.

Allocations are based on specific vehicle line sales not overall total vehicle sales.

Ordered mine June 11th. Car scheduled for 09/19. Built 09/28. Still waiting for it to leave Detroit on 11/1.

Supposedly all Camaro's are on QC hold.

Hope you have better luck. Mine will probably arrive in the snow!!!

Dam. If i end waiting up waiting that long or longer theyll be starting the 2018 production model. Id better be getting a hell of a deal waiting 6 plus months. We didnt discuss prices yet. The salesman said we would talk about that when the car arrived but the build sheet that we printed off to send in said MSRP of $42,400 for a 2017 1ss. Im just currious if anyone wants to help out with this be my guest. But how much if any at all could I or should I talk my dealer down on the price and if so by how much or is this a fair price? This is my first time buying and ordering a new car. I cant believe ur still waiting on ur car thats crazy.

Whoa, that is crazy...the initial delay looks like your dealer had no allocations...

I know a few people who ordered one well after you and already took delivery.

OP, if your dealer has an allocation, and there are no constraints, and you aren't ordering anything super new like a ZL1/1LE on average it should take about 6-8 weeks.

Agreed, but why is it taking so long to ship once it has been built? Over 4 weeks on a quality hold!!!

Vehicle Assembly Plants are producing more product than the vehicle transportation system can handle. This has been discussed on the Forum several times and all such discussions lead to that conclusion.

Becky my dealer is telling me they dont have a order number yet but will notify when they do. I thought a person was given a order number when the order was placed. Or is this not accurate and ill recieve the order number at a later date and time?

OP, if you're not locked into a deal then you should search other markets to see if they have the car you want.
