hello, I'm here mostly to see if my dealership screwed me over. I reserved a first edition within seconds of the order form opening. My first edition confirmation email came in at 13:01 on Jan 5th. The online reservations were supposed to open at 13:00 but it opened at 12:59 and my order was already in before 13:00. I was originally contacted by a sales man from my local dealer and he told me I was first in line at that location. I recently ordered a z06 and went back to ask for that guy and was told he no longer worked there. I mentioned to the new sales man that I had a truck on order and he told me I was now 6th in line. I was pretty annoyed but obviously couldn't do anything about it. We don't know how many first edition reservations they took but what are the chances that 5 other people in my small Midwest town ordered a first edition within the first 30 seconds of availability? Basically impossible, right? #157XXX
I would not trust anything a dealership says.
Being in the dealership’s line is not the same as when your vehicle’s date of manufacture actually occurs. Also, as time goes by your place in line at your dealership will be dynamic and subject to change without notice.
As I have posted previously your reservation is not an order. At some future date you and your dealership will configure and place the order and you put down more substantial money. When your vehicle is actually built will depend on GM’s build plan/schedule which of course depends on production capability and parts supply.
You will eventually get your vehicle and having reserved early is better than not.
When order time comes be sure to get in writing the final price of your truck. Most dealerships are adding a dealer markup. You pay them $2k-10k over MSRP to give you the keys. Dealerships set the final price not GM.
