Hi,
I am a little confused on the allotment subject.
I have always understood that a customer purchasing a new vehicle from a dealer with money down and signing paperwork on the agreed amount would always have priority against dealer allotments (used to put new vehicles on their lot for walk-in buyers) but after reading several of the comments by other enclave forum members this does not seem to be holding true.
Or, is it that those that have been waiting many weeks and months were not customers who actually put money down and did not sign paperwork but made a verbal agreement with the dealer that if they ordered a vehicle with specific options and colors, they would be interested in leasing or purchasing once the vehicle was delivered to the dealer with no strings attached before hand. Could this be the reason that the allotments are coming into play because they actually are dealer allotments in the GM system rather than actual purchases assigned to a name/address of a person. Can someone clarify this for me?
I personally ordered an Enclave on July 14 and within a week was told by my dealer that the GM system showed that I have a build date of August 27. I did order the CXL, white-diamond, lux pkg, convenience pkg, ent# 3, chrome wheels. So as you can see I did order some of the items that have been on the contricted list but still was lucky enough to receive a build date within a week of ordering. I'm just curious as to why some of us are having the allotment issues and some of us are not unless I just got lucky with my dealer and "allotments".
Even though I have a tentative build date, I still am very impatient about when actual delivery will be so I can honestly feel your pain (well not everyone's pain since so many have been waiting for quite a long time). I thank all of you for your insightfulness on this forum and have learned so much from all of you.
Thanks and good luck on your Enclave orders.
