How verify dealer has allocation for model year 2015?
How does one verify a dealer has an allocation/slot rather than just taking their word for it? I know they can enter an order but entering an order does not mean they have an allocation. One could usually confirm their allocation because a production ID would be available right after ordering. However, since model year 2015's won't go into production until sometime in July, how do I confirm a dealer really has a July allocation just because they say they do? I'm trying to prevent a dealer from taking my order then not really having a July allocation for a model year 2015.

You'll have to get your CA to check their Dealer Availability Report in DCSnet. They should see all of their allocations in there. If they don't want to check it and share it with you, there's no way for you to know.
My understanding is that they don't "enter an order" as much as they "modify an allocation." Even after they do that, it doesn't automatically generate a production number. It could occur that day, the next day, the next week, etc. That's why some people say "I placed an order, but no production number yet!" |

If they have an allocation you can get that on the spot. I had mine within minutes since modifying an allocation literally takes 5 minutes to do. They go to the system and check some boxes and enter a few fields and it is done. There is really no reason to not have a build sheet and production number on the spot unless it is one of two scenarios: dealer is lazy or they don't have an allocation and may try to trade for one. That's how you avoid the situation you speak of. |
