Once again I don't what to say except sorry. I would contact PCNA and tell them. Don't know what they will do but you have little to lose.

I would be on the phone to PCNA. My 2014 allocation was held up by the stop sale. When everyone else in the same boat got their 2015 allocations and posted about them here on RL, I contacted my dealer. I was told mine was being held by the dealership manager. I called PCNA and within a day the dealer contacted me with the allocation commission number etc.

Exactly what I mean, you're not getting the whole story from the dealer.

Did you not read his post (#15)?

I contacted them, within 24 hours I had a response from PCNA. Within 48 hours, the general manger from my dealership contacted me saying I have an allocation. Prior to my contact with PCNA, I couldn't get any response about my allocation status from my dealership. Coincidence ???

Good story.

Agree you need to hold the dealers feet to the fire with PCNA.

Unreal how a small dealer would do that. I thought things like this only happened with the vampire stealers, guess not. OP, I would go to battle over this just for the principal of the matter....hope you prevail. Keep us posted.

during the stop sale in 2014 there was a "GT3 concierge" so that helped. But I've also called the 1-800 number and just spoken to a rep and explained the issue or request. I don't know all of the PCNA processes, but if an owner calls with an issue they will assign a case number and will followup. At least that's been my experience. In the OP's situation I would relate the commission number and keep asking to elevate the issue.
