Good to know I'm not the only one still at 1100! I actually called the sales manager at my dealer today to get a better understanding of where my order currently stands given the increased interest in the CT5 BW this week. I was told that they still hadn't gotten any allocations yet and I was #1 on the list there with 5 others behind me. Now I find this a little suspicious because they're not a small dealer (but not the biggest) and I would think they'd know something by now. Especially when I hear people here and elsewhere saying they were able to secure an allocation even though they aren't on the BS "waitlist" that we've all been on for months.I am unclear about how the Dealer new car allocation process works.
I am assuming that Cadillac allocations to Dealerships are for a specific car year and model. Is that correct? In other words, Escalades have their set of allocations and Blackwings have their own separate set of allocations.
If that assumption is right, then when Dealers get allocations for the Cadillac 2022 Blackwings, are the allocations separated by Blackwing model?
In other words, is there one set of allocations for the 2022 CT4-V Blackwings and a separate set of allocations for the CT5-V Blackwings?
Or is the allocation simply for “a 2022 Blackwing” and the Dealership can fill it with either a CT4-V order or a CT5-V order?
Thanks!
Still sitting at 1100 since 02/23 for our CT5-V . . . . .
The person I spoke to gave me his opinion of how this is going to go down so take this with a grain of salt. He thinks once the initial 500 reservations are filled, they're going to go back to building the standard CT5s because they're so backed up with those orders. Then they'll resume production of the rest of the Blackwings after that. This doesn't really sit well with me because as I mentioned, others that aren't even on the waitlist allegedly have a TPW already. He didn't have an answer for that. I don't trust anyone. Good luck to you!
