2022 order cutoff to 2023 order-to-availability

[Polo08816]

Ahhhh yes, lets hope the American people fall on even harder times so you can get a $5K discount on your Yukon lol.

Well, what we have been doing is just delaying the inevitable. We will feel the pain at some point - the only question is when and by how much. And if you know it's coming, it would be wise to position yourself as best as possible because the economy tanking presents opportunity.

when this trend flips and most dealers don't already have the majority of their large SUVs "sold" is when this market will pull back.

That is ultimately the biggest unknown, is that a business model that the car companies will ever go back to?

So based on the original post of this thread, the last chance a dealer can place an order for 2022s is in April. But assuming the dealer has all of those orders already claimed for by a deposit, which is likely….then that dealer will not be able to sell a new 2022 Tahoe to anyone who goes to their dealership in May, June, July or August looking for one. The only way that’ll happen is if a deal falls through with someone who put down a deposit. That seems very uncommon.
So if you go to a dealer in those months your only choice will be you have to build one and wait until September, the earliest, which is when the 2023s will be in production. Or buy a used Tahoe.

Anyone who recently bought a Tahoe and has it in their possession will likely be in a great position to be able to sell there’s back to the dealer for a premium, because dealers will be desperate to get their hands on them because they’ll have no incoming inventory for 4 months that they can sell, outside of that which they already have buyers for. And in that case, they’ll be able to sell the used Tahoe for more than MSRP because what other option does the buyer have other than months for an order that can take months to get built.

Looks like another Chapman Ford in the NJ/PA area is publicly offering 2% off invoice pricing on new Expedition orders. It joins a list of other Ford dealerships advertising ordering an Expedition below invoice: https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/now-ordering-2022-expedition-at-2-under-invoice.50348/

Koons Woodbridge Ford (5% below invoice)
Granger Ford (3% below invoice)

Granger also has a Ram dealership and they are 4% under invoice on Rams…similar pricing (percentage is slighty different) on all other Chrysler models

GM needs to revamp their ordering process…if you’re on a forum you probably understand the process…everyone else is rolling the dice hoping their dealer is somewhat helpful or knows what they are doing

Well, back to the original point of my thread ...

... spoke to my dealer and canned my 22 Denali order. It was Denali + Premium package, so fairly straightforward, but he indicated that items in the Premium package were on constraint until April.

Orders for 2023 begin in May but he couldn't specify exactly when in May. Given the current craziness in the world it could be pushed out or it could be May 1. He also could not confirm that GM suppliers have committed to the first batch of 23's with full features, so if there are any suppliers or anyone in the know on this forum please chime in. He did indicate that in the absolute best-case scenario (no constraints for first batch of 23's) I could order in May and have a full-featured vehicle in July. Worst-case scenario I'd get a '23 sometime in November or December with missing features. He said the reality was, not surprisingly, somewhere in between. Just too many unknown variables at this point: supply chain, chip shortage, war, etc.

I guess we'll know more in a month and a half!

I think we're at the point where if you don't have an order in the system and moving beyond 1100 status, your order will likely turn into a '23MY.

I have two dealers I've told to get back in touch with me when the '23 Order Guide is released. We'll see if I hear anything back from them. My guess is I'll find the info before they do.

My Yukon Denali was built in February ’22 and has the sliding console. I bought it in transit so not sure when it was ordered.

From what I can see, it looks like it is currently available only for the Denali and High Country trim levels. (per GMauthority March 8th and 10th 2022)

July seems extremely optimisti…I’d lean more towards the end of August/September for the first ‘23 models to start shipping…

Isn’t it odd that GM’s order process sounds like - if you ordered a 2022 at the end of last year into early this year, there are a whole bunch of features and add-ons that you can’t get (either those that have been on constraint for months making people remove them to get their order accepted or those that they just got rid of entirely). But if you order in May and wait until September the earliest, the 2023s will have all of those features.

I feel like the same thing happening now can easily happen to people who order a 2023 late into this year (around October) and again in early 2023.

Seems like you need to order a 2023 in May and hope it gets built immediately to know you won’t have issues getting things you want. Shouldn’t they worry about making the 2022 order customers conent?

It's all about making the next sale.

I understand, but when you make people wait long and keep making them eliminate features/options to build their car, you're eventually going to make them turn elsewhere
