Just wondering if anyone else has pulled the trigger on a 2016 CTS-V. I ordered mine about 2 weeks ago. Just hope I don't regret not waiting longer for fear that I'm either paying a big premium as an early adopter or that there will be a bunch of bugs in the first year that make the car a disaapointment. Did get a small discount off the sticker price, though, so maybe that'll help compensate for being an early adopter.

I was unaware that dealers were in a position to take an order at this time. Not to be overly dense, but were you able to spec it out exactly as you want, get an msrp, netotiate a price and get an eta?

 

[RGaret]

Are they accepting GM supplier discount at this time?

I have an order in with my local dealer, order #6AJ69. No pricing yet, but have it optioned the way I want.

Yes, I was able to spec it out as I desired. I've got an order number but every time I try to check it on GMConnects, I get forwarded to a Foot Locker site. I'm not sure what's going on there. Dealer told me today that he thinks they're going to start building 2016 CTS-V's this week. He's supposed to let me know if my order will be in the first group built.

that is not an order #..... it is the model # for the CTS-V....you should call your dealer and get the real order # they are 6 characters in length mostly Letters sometimes with mumbers in it ...for example AAAAAA or AAAAA1 or AAAA1A...

what you have is one of the following model numbers:

6AF69 = Base
6AH69 = Luxury
6AK69 = Performance
6AL69 = Premium including V-Sport models
6AJ69 = V

Thanks, it is nice. Very comfy. But it's my wife's ride, so I only get to drive it every once in a while.

Place order about a week ago and got my order number yesterday. I was told that the car is to go into production next month and I will be updated when such occurs. Anyone's guess as to when these cars will start being produced. On a side note wonder if it's going to be like the 2009 I ordered where the car was built, but was held on a lot in Lansing for inspection after inspection for about a month? Not complaining as it was worth the wait, however unlike last time I would like the ride before December.

plant startup date is mid July...figure on 6 to 8 weeks for delivery if all goes well.....and yes there is a very real possibility for it to be placed on quality inspection hold, which both sucks and is awesome........sucks because it's like car purgatory can delay for a month or longer.......awesome because it's nice to know they are being picky about build quality....the earlier the build the more likely this is going to happen

Sounds about right as I was told by the dealer that the car may not come in until about September.

Back in 2008/2009 there was a member on here who worked at the Lansing plant and could see our cars being built and would go into the system and give us build status updates. I don't think he follows this forum any more. However I was lucky to stumble across the GM Inside News forum and there is a person on there who can track our orders My order is currently at 3000 without a build week listed.

Drop Linton23 a note and hopefully he/she will give you an update on your order (most likely @ 3000).
