The frustration of finding a new Chevrolet in the model and trim you want is hard for many of you. And then, finding suitable options and colors gets even more challenging. Finally, finding a dealer that will offer a reasonable price even if you find the vehicle you want is difficult and potentially strike three. Rather than wait and keep trying month after month, perhaps it is time to consider ordering the vehicle you want. Let’s walk through some Chevrolet models, and we will give you some considerations on ordering them and tell you where they are made.
First, the MSRP of the vehicle is subject to change if you want to reserve one that is on order but not ordered specifically in your name. If Chevrolet increases the MSRP before the vehicle is built and invoiced to us, it gets the new MSRP even if it was ordered before the price change. On the other hand, if we order the vehicle in your name (this is also called a sold order), the MSRP is locked from the date of the order.
Secondly, when we place an order with your exact build, the time it takes to get built is compressed as Chevrolet will place a higher priority on sold orders.
Another advantage of sold orders is the ability to get your rebates in the current month protected for when the vehicle lands. So rebates like Conquest, Costco, customer cash, etc. can be locked in. And the great part of it is that if the rebates are better when the vehicle gets here, you can use those rebates instead! This rebate protection program runs through 1/31/22, and it has been going for a while, but the program is month to month at the discretion of Chevrolet. We, unfortunately, cannot lock in finance terms or incentives.

It is official. There will be no more Sparks built after August 2022. Your last chance to get your desired order for a Spark will be in early June 2022. So, for those Spark fans out there, please reach out to us to get one of the last Sparks built. We know many readers read this and either roll their eyes or make a funny face. And, yes, we know the true fans of the Spark are limited – otherwise, why would it be getting canceled by Chevrolet.
The Spark indeed was fun in our ordering discussions – which are sometimes a grind through the minutia of options and packages and black, white, and silver colors that provide the color in a black and white movie. Through the years, some of the colors have included Caribbean Blue, Toasted Marshmallow, Passion Fruit Metallic, Orange Burst Metallic, Raspberry Metallic, Mystic Blue, and Cayenne Orange. It was like picking out your own customized Skittles bag to place on the lot.

We attempted to make shopping our On-Order page as easy as possible. This post will walk you through the basics and give you some simple how-to-search suggestions to make your life easier. So let’s dive into it.
We designed our On-Order page because inventory shortages have forced us to sell out of our scheduled inventory that has not been built yet. As a result, we know the vehicle’s exact exterior color, interior color, engine, transmission, options, and so forth. The only things we don’t know are things that are designated once the vehicle has been built, namely the VIN and MSRP. Those two items are pretty essential to advertise a car on our website, so we had to get a little creative. Our On Order page is that workaround.

I will cover a somewhat controversial topic: GM’s Super Cruise and why I think it’s better than Tesla Autopilot. I believe Super Cruise is the best self-driving system available today in any car.
Those who don’t know Super Cruise is GM’s self-driving system. It is fantastic, and we recently drove the latest version of Super Cruise in the new Cadillac Escalade, and today, I’m going to explain how it works and what makes it so great.
Every new car brand has this. So you have Volvo Pilot Assist, Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive, Tesla Autopilot, and blah blah blah. Of course, they all have different names, but the basic idea is that the vehicle can drive itself based on specific criteria. These vehicles are equipped with various sensors and cameras that relay information to the car and tell it to speed up or slow down. The automation extends to the steering and braking functions as well.

Features That Make the Chevy Colorado Stand Out
The Chevrolet Colorado continues to appear more attractive and eye-catching because of a few notable features that allow it to stand out in the auto industry. This bold pickup truck has a minimal body that is large and robust, causing it to have an athletic stance. The front headlights are average size and pair well with the oversized black grille, causing the vehicle to appear intimidating from the front. On the rear of the vehicle, the tail-lamps are bold and expressive to ensure the vehicle looks more modern and contemporary.
