So then what would you have me do? Wait until a dealer gets an allocation to put money down and hope to god they get said allocation the exact moment I visit the dealer? The deposit was to secure my place in line for an allocation. And I'm the first one in that line. I'm literally just waiting...

Yes, I did my due diligence. I'm not an idiot. I have the papers, thought it's not a 'GMWorkbench' order as I do not have an order number. Just my build spec, agreed upon numbers(MSRP), and a receipt with signatures from both parties. I call every month asking about the status of an allocation...

So on the day I placed my order, the dealer got 2 in. Both generic dealer builds in auto, one black, the other red. Literally arrived the night before my visit, since the salesman I was working with called the night prior and told me that I can test drive one during our appointment. Told me he...

I just called my salesperson and he told me that they'd just roll my MY23 deposit over to MY24 and re-do my build sheet, assuming that Cadillac makes any changes to the options and whatnot. The salesperson I've been dealing with since day 1 made it seem like my build sheet didn't even actually...

Crazy how they don't just roll over. My deposit and build specs hasn't even left the dealer yet. It's literally just in a file cabinet waiting for GM. What does the dealer do with my deposit at that point? Just hope I forget about it? The $1000 deposit was non-refundable, so if I go with another...

So what are the chances that my CT4 V BW order is a MY23? Placed a deposit down with the dealer the very end for December 2022. Luckily, I'm first in line for an allocation. But with parts constraints and GM first building all the damn IMSA special editions that no one really wants, because...

I probably could have used better words. What I really meant was options that I feel would enhance a track day experience, without all the fluff I don't need nor want.

Surprised that the perpetrator was not an Altima.

I'm not sure I like the idea of not knowing the specs of the wheels costing over $2000. Why the secrecy? If anything, that lack of transparency would prevent me from doing business with said company.

Doing a dozen or so very hard braking stops should make the rotor face as good as new. Think bedding in brake pads kind of procedure.

Not sure if this counts but my local Cadillac dealer is selling me a 4BW at MSRP, but they normally charge a markup in addition to dealer installed add-ons. I was able to negotiate it for MSRP + doc fee, and I am the first on the list for allocations. Initial deposit is $1000 and once the...

If the stock brake pads are suitable for track day use(which they are, from what I've gathered) then they probably have a higher amount of porous metal within the compound. The dissimilar metals from the iron rotor and the pads themselves cause surface rust which could form a weak bond between...

Not a bad timeline. 2 months for an allocation. Once it gets picked up by GM, I get a chance to review my order and make changes if I feel that I need to. And pay the rest of the deposit. I hope the CF fiasco is better by then. Otherwise, I may just need to remove it.

Based on what I've been reading here, other sources, and what the dealer has told me, no one seems to REALLY know what the deal is. Including GM. I will just wait it out and when it comes, it comes. There isn't anything we can do to make GM build and deliver these cars faster. So a lot of us are...

How long ago did you place a deposit with your dealer? So I have a rough idea of how long the wait is to receive an allocation.

I'd like to think that GM will finish the cars ordered prior to the Track Edition launch, but who knows? I'm only going by what the dealer has told me, and it is best taken with a grain of salt. I'll pry more about it when my allocation gets accepted to finalize my order, however long that is.

They showed me a spreadsheet of what vehicles are under production constraints. The 4BW as a whole was at 0% along with the CF 1 and 2 packages, with a projected time frame of April 2023 to restart production. The Escalade V is also under production constraints. I don't know if this also counts...

New here. First Cadillac, first, GM car, and first American performance car. I had a Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST in the past, but I consider those cars of European origin despite having a Ford badge. MSRP + document fee. I was able to talk the dealer in to removing the markup and dealer add-on...
