Thanks…auto correct bit me there. My dealers custom order contract stated price paid would be MSRP at delivery unfortunately. If they weren’t the only one locally selling at MSRP (with actual allocations) I’d probably bark…

So maybe paying a little over sticker now and getting it in the garage isn't quite so crazy vs I don't know when it will get here and ultimately what I will pay?
It's hard to tell the future and it's really a case by case situation.
I think if someone needs the vehicle as soon as possible, there's not a lot of options. Getting to the front of the line makes sense.
But if someone doesn't need the vehicle immediately and has an income stream that might benefit from a recession or deflation, it probably makes sense to wait 1-2 years for demand to rebalance against supply. Personally, I think we're going to be in a recession soon where demand for luxury goods will decrease. And within the next 6 months, GM (and Ford) are not going to be the only game in town for 1/2 ton full size SUVs. Now I think their products are still superior, but perhaps these days, the best deal you can get is the car you can actually buy. I think the market could change substantially in the next 6-12 months when you factor in the economy (demand) and competitors.
It seems like you're already established and you already have all the vehicles that fit your current and future requirements. So maybe your priorities would simply be a replacement of what you already have.Who shops for vehicles months or years in advance?
If I’m vehicle shopping it’s only for one of 2 reasons…
#1 My current vehicle has problems and I’m dumping it..
#2 It is getting aged and I’m trying to avoid big repair bills. In that case I may order months ahead, or pick one up off a lot If opportune.
otherwise, many situations and things can change in the middle months for me to invest a bunch of time in it or I could change my mind 3 times based on current situations at that time…
I ordered my Tahoe Premiere in November, still at 1100. I think I'm going to cancel and get my deposit back.In waiting for Chevy chat this morning , I went back to my build for a Tahoe LT. The base price went up $1500. I wonder if I'll get stuck with that? My order is at 3000 as of last week.
As far as I understood, the order, whether picked up or not was price protected, as long as it was entered as RETAIL-SOLD not RETAIL-STOCK. A bunch of people are gonna get stuck in the RETAIL-STOCK order due to their dealer's order process. What I don't know is whether or not that price protection holds for vehicles that get rolled to a 2023. I have to find that out this weekJust confirmed with my sales person, all sold orders are price protected. So the Tahoe and Yukon I have on order is not affected by this increase. The Tahoe has s TPW but the Yukon does not and is not officially accepted by GM yet. So that one might be up in the air.
