Overboard Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) Quick question- do dealers get to chose which of their built trucks ship first to them? For example if they have 8 HDs “built” and “in transit”, can dealers chose which of their trucks ships first over others? I have a ‘22 Silverado Custom that was built in December and the arrival date has been pushed back 4 times despite being “in transit” since December. I am receiving the GM employee pricing so I absolutely have nothing to complain about but curious if a dealer can keep pushing my custom to the back of the line to prioritize higher trims and bigger over MSRP markups. Thanks for any thoughts or advice. Edited February 28, 2022 by Overboard
dal1980 Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 I doubt the dealership has any say in what gets loaded on a carrier. Ultimately GM wants to move inventory so if its done at the plant, I would think getting it out to market would be #1 priority. Since your truck is "sold" especially given the climate, the dealership would have no benefit to pushing your delivery out. They can put that in the books as sold and move on. From what I gather, new allocations are based on vehicles sold. So, I would think it would benefit them to get the truck there and get it in your driveway.
Overboard Posted February 28, 2022 Author Posted February 28, 2022 That’s a great point about moving a sold vehicle quickly to help with allocations in the future. Thanks so much for the thoughts.
