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.
