CT5-V Order and Allocation Process?

I too have sinking feeling that if I’m going to be able to ever acquire one it will be buy search from blood sucking dealers looking too maximize profit.
I put my name down on Cadillac site at end of Feb 2021, 9 months pass with not a clue as to what where or if I would be able to get one.
Cadillac customer representative gave me a runaround stating that why wasn’t I in touch with my dealer about ordering.My dealer was completely clueless as to if they would even get an allocation. Complete frustration.
Working with a new much bigger volume dealer but may be too little to late. By the way MSRP plus 5k

I’ve had this car on order for the last year and a half, 2021, 2022 and now hoping for a 2023, even though they did away with my favorite color option for 2023. I was told to order without the carbon fiber and it should be accepted…so even for 2023, I placed the new order 4 months ago with what the dealer said “all in stock parts”. Just got a new call from the dealer, now they are saying the semi aniline leather could be the hold up. I wish there was more communication between Cadillac and the dealers, explaining what the holdup is. I’m seeing the Blackwing 4’s with the carbon fiber so how was that the hold up? So frustrating!!!

You need to find a completely different dealer. I ordered my CT5-V BW back in October 2021 and received it in June 2022. The 2022 builds were all finished by July 2022. People who did not receive a 2022 were supposedly told to re-submit their build orders again for a 2023 model . Some 23’s have already begun arriving. Carbon Fiber packages was the biggest delay. Do you even have a 6 letter build # from the dealer. If not, you do not have an order placed with Cadillac.

My CT-5 Blacking was built end of September(2023 Model). Received a delivery date from my dealer a few weeks later. Then the delivery date was canceled apparently due to quality control issue and it’s been sitting in a storage lot near the factory ever since, nearly Three months now. Last week emailed corporate to complain. They did get back with me fairly quick and said they are looking into it. But still no answers. Communication has been very poor.

I ordered my 2022 5BW in Oct of 2021. Arrived june 2022. Did not order carbon fiber packages. You need to deal with and order from a few dealerships. Each dealership gets an allotment relating to past sales history. My friend ordered a 2022 and never received it. They then ordered a 2023 and it is supposedly built and its been months waiting for delivery. If you are paying a mark up…..you are being ripped off.

I placed my deposit in May of 21. I was told I was going to get a 22. Then it went to a 23. My dealer has told me that production is currently under constraint, and that I am at the top of the list when constraint opens up. I’ve never heard of constraint within production before. I’ve been buying cars for over 50 years. Like you, at this point, I would prefer just to get the 24. I picked up a 2019 C7 a few months back. I’m going to enjoy the spring and summer driving the Vette. I still really want to get my hands on that BW but it is getting more and more frustrating. What’s everyone’s thoughts about the new name, Blaqwing?

Blaqwing? Consider todays date…

Go cadillacV-net.com and you will find a plethora of information about the Blackwings. If you have a 6 letter order# , you can give it to Rob the Administrator and your vehicle can be tracked during the build. If history repeats itself, the last year models will be done being built by July 2023. Otherwise you need to re-apply for an allotment for 2024. It is not automatically re-applied by the dealer for you. My friend thought and was told that his 2022 was on its way, when it was NOT. He had to re-apply for a 2023 and it cost him another $7000 grand for the same exact spec car. The 2023’s have been coming much better than the 2022’s, due to chips and carbon fiber. If you want carbon fiber you will have a long wait ! But, in the end, it might be worth it. Some people have deleted the CF just to get a car sooner.
