Hey folks - I'm a newbie - still in my first week...still learing about the site and the content. I have been following several of your stories re: your orders etc. and would like to get a sense of the timeframes. So here's my situation: I placed an order (6DF79) for a 5BW on Oct 26 at Suburban Cadillac in Troy, MI. No deposit was required at time. The dealer says the order has been submitted but I have no further visibility, and Rob cannot track it because it doesn't begin with a 'B' (I assume that implies some sort of status). Anyway - it seems to me that 7-8 months is probably what I should expect before I actually get the car. This would mean that I should get a formal build date around 2 months before that. Am I making reasonable assumptions? Frankly I don't know all the stages of the order process so I feel I'm stumbling around in the dark. Any light anyone can shed on this would be most welcome! BTW - mine is a 5 speed, with CF1 and CF2, and CC brakes. I ordered bronze wheels but will probably remove them when it's time to finalize things (the dealer told me I will have a small window after GM accepts my order, in which I can make any last minute changes). Thanks for your insights!
