Default Fastest Delivery

My car was born on 1/11/06, was picked up by Allied in BG on the 13th, and about 2 hours ago, I got off the phone with my dealer, who tells me that my car arrived this morning at 10 at my local dealership. That was lightning fast !!!!!! Even my Sales man said, that in his 13 years of selling and ordering cars, he has never seen one move so fast ......I told him it was meant to be in any case, it will has to get PDI'd and paperwork has to be done, and so forth....the appointment for me to pick up my car is on Monday afternoon. So now, to all of you who have went through this before, I am sure you can imagine what I am feeling like right now. To top it off, I have to pass the dealership, where my baby is now, every day on my way to and from work.....looks like I will be making a pit stop on my way home tonight I will post pictures as soon as she is home. I wanted to thank each end every one of you for all the advice, input and comments, and words of encouragement during the what I thought to be tortureous time, after the ordering, the acceping by GM, the codes, and so on....looking at it now, a month later, this was nothing compared to it being down the street from my house....I can look, but I can't touch I feel like surgically attaching myself to it
Well, I guess I have a few more days to practice my wave Thanks to everybody for all your help, and I will post again soon.

Your car was delivered to the dealer today and you're waiting till next Monday to take delivery?? I know a guy here in CA who took delivery the same afternoon as the truck dropped it. Mine was delivered to a central depot on a Tuesday morning and I picked it up from the dealer on Thursday, and the salesman came in from his sickbed at home to complete the sale. How 'bout lighting a fire under the dealer and getting it before the weekend? TWhy be deprived? There's not a lot to do to get it prepped.

I agree! I prepped most of my mine at the dealership right after I watched Allied back it of the carrier. Took about an hour to get it ready to go. Then spent 5 hours at the house detailing it my way

I was told that the car got to the local dealership so fast, GM didn't even have time to send the Certificate of Origin to the dealer I bought it from....so it is all a matter of paperwork. Between the local dealer doing all the paperwork, and DMV stuff, well, they told me it will be more like Tuesday or Wednesday next week before I get to take her home. I went by there yesterday afternoon on my way home, to take a peek WOW ...is all I have to say. She is beautiful, and the paint, I don't think is dry yet In any case, I went by there again this morning, on my way to work, and they moved her from the outsiede to the inside, good thing, since it rained here last night. Someone asked me if I wanted to sell her while I was at the dealership...kind of funny but I declined politely The wait continues............................... .....
