Nice!!

Just got off the phone with the dealer here and he's been calling some of the other dealerships in the state that have 1 in stock but they're saying they are getting calls from New Jersey and stuff so they seem unwilling to give them up. Plus do I really want one that hasn't been "reinspected"??

I feel bad for the dealerships having to put up with this stuff because they're trying their best but can't get any news from GM...

BS - you decide :-)

A dealer called me today and said the car they had coming in was returned because of hail damage. Apparently sitting in the parking lot waiting on inspections some got damaged...

wtf - who knows.

Is there a way to check on the status of a car yourself or does it have to be done through the dealer? My dealer just keeps saying it's on the truck and should be there any day.

I got my SS/TC yesterday. but i was meant to get another but there was some hold up. i think they said it was a quality inspection or something and they said the car was still loaded on train or whatever. So they made a deal with a dealer in missouri and went and picked up mine lol.. i live in oklahoma....

I just spoke to my dealer. It seems that over 1200 cars were damaged while in the holding area in Ohio. Mostly Cobalt, Solstice & Sky's. Mine was one of them. It got $1100 in damage (not sure what, exactaly). Now, I'm not sure when I will get it! Could be a 2-3 weeks, I'm told. The dealer is going to see if they can find one in route to snag for me.

YEah, mine was on the truck for the last 4 weeks, but thursday June 19th, the salesman called directly in front of Me the Oshawa headquarter (I'm canadian) and he was told that my car is in Michigan, but was not able to know why, and when the car will be released!

HE will be advised 2 days prior delivery when the car will amke it at the Quebec dispatch center (Charny).

At least, I have an update!

Mine was supposed to be here yesterday (100th time i heard that story). Not here.
I am very close to moving on. Six weeks ago I bought the car, starting insuring it and my first payment has already been paid, yet I still don't have the car.

That is fucked, but I don't know why you would start paying for all that before having taken delivery.

I out out. I am canceling the order today.

I just found out my ******* dealer has a black one on their lot right now but mine is still not there. WTF? I realize I bought one six weeks ago with a specific VIN, but GM should be able to change it somehow and make a customer happy. I was told it will be in next friday. This after my sales person promissed it would be in yesterday, guaranteed.

So, no SS for me unless they swap the car.
