New guy- aiming for a 26 CT4-V BW

[jollymon]

Dunno... went to my local dealer (MacMulkin Chevy-Cadillac) where I ordered my 1LE from since they had done me well. By December, nothing so I started hitting up other dealers in the northeast as well as searching for inventory that was close enough. But eventually MacMulkin came through

Getting an allocation will have you dreaming of your car for months. 8 months seems super goaty to me, why so long?

Are you talking about waiting 8 months to get the allocation?

Allocation is actually not fun. The dealership has to be given the allocation, then they have to see what is on restraint. It depends on the customer's build as to whether it can be accepted or not. I have seen colors be on restraint sometimes. There was one week where there were 26 total allocations for the entire nation and there are over 550 Cadillac dealerships. One that happened recently was they only accepted orders with Carbon Fiber 1 & 2, but not with only Carbon Fiber 1. We are not really given a heads up on what we will get ahead of time.

Customers do not lose their place in line, but will have to be skipped if their order does not match that week's allocation. It works both ways. If there is a week where Carbon Fiber can't be built, then those orders are skipped by orders without Carbon Fiber. If there is a week where Carbon FIber can be built, then orders without Carbon Fiber are skipped by the orders with Carbon Fiber.
