Midlothian to Possession

[Rizop]

Something piqued my curiosity earlier today. To anyone who's had a delay at any of the order stages or at any of the event codes--was it a build that you designed then placed with your dealer? Or was it a dealer build and you were able to place a deposit or a down payment on the vehicle to reserve it?

My order type shows: TRE-Retail Stock.

I placed a down payment on my purchase and the purchase price shows lower than the MSRP build on the Chevy website by nearly $1,300. The vehicle is a Z71 5.3L Suburban with the lux package, pano roof and 2nd row buckets.

My delay was at 3800 for over a month . It was a build that I put together and the dealer ordered . My order type was SRE- retail sold . The initial tough part was that diesels were scarce , so the allocation for that took about a month to become available too

10-4. Thanks for the data points. I'm assuming your truck was in the MID lot at 3800 for over a month?

Sure thing . I was never able to actually confirm with either chat or dealer as they would not disclose location but dealer mentioned it was built but stalled for a microprocessor shortage so I assumed there’s a 90 percent chance it was sent to midlothian.

Who actually informed you that the truck was ready to ship with an ETA?

You can ask for a screenshot from their vinview. That's how I tracked it back to Arlington after it had sat in Midlothian for months. If I didn't ask, he would never have looked and only would have looked at the code.

 

[Rizop]

good point . I’ve always just asked if they could track the current location of the vehicle but never got as specific as naming “vinview”

Dealer informed me . Said it should definitely arrive before 31st

Dang. My July build went to 3800 and I was hoping that meant I was going to skip 4300.

Lol he said this month . I told him I’d be out of town next month and said guaranteed by 7/29

Good grief. Over 12 mos from order date to delivery date. Mind sharing your build and add on's?

Where are you located?

You were right... turns out it shipped back to the factory... DANGIT

Boooo, same thing happened to me. But I have seen people receive their vehicle when it never showed up in tracking and vinview. It's totally a crap shoot

Awful news. Sadly I am expecting mine to take the same route/delay.

Just got an email from a local dealer that they just had an LT Suburban show up on the lot. 5.3L, RWD and only with the lux package.

VIN on it is -317XXX and VIN on mine is -339XXX. I am in the Tampa, FL area so not great news...

Until then (we sold our only vehicle based on the original ship date the dealer gave us), we drive around with our three foster kids in a 2004 subaru forester with 300K miles that my buddy loaned us. No AC, and a busted rear latch. It's a two person job to open the back to get the stroller out. Pretty hilarious situation. I have to laugh, or I would cry.

Don't pay too much mind on VIN. I ordered mines from Ferman in Tarpon and keeping track of there deliveries through United Road. They are receiving Tahoe with 333xxx and even a 342xxx vin #. I am 337 and still waiting. It's a total crap shoot.
