Other posters have said orders still being taken for 2015 so who knows. Some guys have multiple orders with different dealers, get that weeded out and should be more availability. 2015 production scheduled to go on into September so thousands of cars still to be built.
^^^^ Bingo! If there was no allocation when the car was ordered there will be no build. If there was allocation, thank the guys that ordered 4, 5 or even 6 cars from different dealers and clogged up the system so badly no one knows who will get a car, or when.
Well me to ordered on day one and still have heard nothing just a von, sent an email last week to head man Tim, and low and behold I get a call yesterday, he said he contacted my dealer, he told me yes they are jammed with orders, and that mine was in BX status and ALL orders that have a von and in BX will get there car, I wish I had known he would call , it caught me so off guard, I would have liked to had a short list to ask him, but he guaranteed we will get them
Keep searching the dealers, try cars.com ,most are already sold..but it's only a click on the mouse to email them, all.
I had a Von on day one, never moved, dealer was a deer in the headlights...asked them to call and wouldn't..started emailing all on cars.com. Got many emails back and calls...all were sold or wanted a ridiculous markup..
Within in a week I got a call to buy one, they had an open allocation....was reluctant to believe,but it got a vin two days later. It is in transit. Many have, you must be vigilant.......
It takes some work.
Good luck
Hi
It was not an email , he called me , I had originally sent him an email, expressing my thoughts, which I can share if you like, I really was not expecting a reply, like he does not get thousands of emails, I was caught totally off guard when he called, I was driving in my car when he did call, I wish I was more prepared, but am impressed that he reached out to me , im sure he has better stuff to do
for the million's time, a von means absolutely nothing, simply an order created on the system, if your order did not progress, most likely because the dealer you purchased from has no allocation.....without allocation car will never come to be

Extremely possible. I placed my build in at the same time. The only Hellcat my dealer was able to secure was a Charger Hellcat so I bought it, and am waiting for it to arrive.
I talked to the owner of the small dealership that I ordered my car from today. Here's what he had to say: "Any verifiable sold order will be scheduled ahead of a stock order provided that the dealer has allocation. Also, once things calm down a bit, the distribution manager in the various business centers may have a small number of units they can dole out to (deserving) dealers." He said those (deserving) dealers will not be based on volume of sales. Not sure exactly what that means but the rules of allocation have clearly changed and it sounds like Dodge has acknowledged the problems with their dealers ordering cars for stock and then adding huge ADM's. I think Dodge is trying to do the right thing, we'll see.
I ordered my hellcat and the dealer was great had my car and driving in less than 60 days. I will say i did email Tim and he did the call to me as well. It does throw you off a bit. I BS with him for a while over several calls he is a real down to earth guy. I had my lovely car for two weeks treated it like a brand new baby never ran it past 4500 rmp for the break in, and on mile 648 shifting from 1st to 2nd the engine blew. My understanding is there was a malfunction with a valve. I waited for 5 days while the dealer did nothing because they are not trained to work on race cars i guess. But i ended up calling Tim again, by now i had his cell..lol He checked into it and found out the engine was blown and said he was not going to install a new motor. He is building me a new one at no cost to me and covering my rental car and any other expense. I tell you all, if you have an issue just nicely shoot him and email and he should get back to you. And No i am not giving out his phone numbers..lol
I don't check this forum much since they opened the hellcat forum, but if Tim told you something Skinner14 he means it, regardless of what you read on this forum. I tell some of these guys think they are the president of Dodge. Have fun with that hellcat...
You might be getting lucky soon. I got an email from SRT today. Unfortunately i just cancelled my original order today too. I picked 1 up in st louis over the weekend. Couldn't wait any longer haha.
Allocation has changed. More and more dealers that were shut out before now aren't. Its not based on sales anymore but more if they haven't had any sitting on the lot for 5 days.
