[Cincy Sky]

Hey all,

I just ordered my Redline last week (super excited!)

Could someone list out all the action items that happen in the process of getting the sky, and approximately the time frame I should expect for each of the items. So far all I have done is put down the $500 depsit.
When should I expect:
-conformation
-order number
-picture (not sure what this is)
-VIN
-other items...

And finally, any predictions to when I'll get my Redline? I put my money down last week and am 5th at my dealer for Redlines. My dealer said sometime May or June. Does this sound accurate?

Thanks! I've been enjoying reading the posts the past few days.

When i put down my deposit, shortly after i was presented with a print out of my redline order. This gave an order # and my selected options. I was also given a reciept for my deposit. I ordered in may and my preliminary order for the redline was placed on June 8th. I was #1 at my dealer in line for a redline.
My order was picked up or imaged late July. This meant my preliminary order went thru as a real order and was picked up by GM. I recieved notice that my car was built on August 9th and I was given a VIN#. It is currently invoiced and we're hoping for delivery any day now. I only live 45 mins from the factory so i'm lucky in that respect.

May or June of next summer could be possible. But honestly, it's all a guessing game. No one can really tell how many orders your dealer will get, or what type of constraints there will be from now till next spring. Just try not think too much about when its coming or you'll drive yourself nuts :lol:

Thanks Pitcom for the list of events and your experience - thats exactly what I wanted. Sounds like I should just sit back and relax. Maybe I'll pour myself a beer.:cheers:

Wow, Pitcom, you must really be on the fast track! You must be so excited! I went to my dealer this weekend and they had a Sky in that the buyer declined. They said they put it on the floor and sold it cash to someone from out of the country and he was shipping it to someplace in the middle east. They said they called everyone on the list for the regular Sky and no one wanted this car. Can you imagine??? They didn't even bother to call anyone on the R/L list. Ya think??? :lol:

I can't wait to hear how yours drives. Too cool!

As to the wait for a new R/L, it all depends on the dealership size and allocation. Some dealerships only receive one allocation a month...some sporatically...some 2-3 or 4 a month. Like it has been said, get a good hobby...or remodel your house! :banghead:

Sorry didn't notice this was on the R/L page, I just have a Regular Sky not a R/L

You can't figure a Red Line that way. If your dealer is getting 2 per month thats 24 Sky's so 40% of his Sky allocation would be 9 Red Lines minus the ramp up and 2 month late start .So from now untill the end of the 2007 production ( AROUND ) June 26th of 2007 your dealer MIGHT see 6 Red Lines.
Now this is if he indeed continue to get 2 per month.
