4-5 weeks to ship one state, it only takes 2 weeks to get here to oregon. I do believe they ship and give an invoice at the same time.

Yeah they are made in Lordstown, Ohio, if the batch hold gets released then yes.

Well in this case I am going to call tomorrow to verify if it has been shipped for an 100% fact rather then just waiting and waiting for them to tell my June 1st that it just shipped

the good thing is the dealership i am buying it from is in ohio.... so they have a better chance of getting it soon

When you do ask them to call DBC or GM dealer world to check exactly where it is and check if there is a batch hold on it and if there is WHY, tell them to get you a reason!!!!! Then let us know.

Well since I dont even know who "DBC " is I dont expect the dealers at this dealership to know they will say, " I will call you back as soon as I find out." I know they wont call back

i am sure he just wants to make his money off the sale the guy already dont like me i came in the one day and he gave me the keys to an SS/SC...... and i took it for about 30-45min and when i came back he was VERY unhappy how long I been gone AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA... he never told me how long to have it out? So i took it for a nice little ride

and the sad thing was he didnt even check to see if I had my license or anything

Not exactly what DBC stands for that is just what my sales manager uses, it is the phone line sales manager can call to get real time updates on tracking cars, and finding out if there are holds and what the reason for the hold is.

Not sure if the axle strike is over, but it didn't effect the lordstown ohio plant.

As I've been told, the supplier strike DID affect Cobalt production, but in terms of brake system components.

Will this make the Cobalt SS/TC late? I don't have the latest info on the strike's status...anyone know?

As far as it being shelved until '09, well...rumors do have a way of growing with every retelling. Seems WAY unlikely.
