Taking Delivery
I pick up my C7 this Saturday at Kerbeck in Atlantic City, NJ
Besides the paperwork, what can I expect from them ref going over the car with me?
I'll be driving it 500 miles back to NC and doing a break-in scenario of varying speeds/rpms with limited spirit and easy braking, etc
Thanks for any helpful comments

Can't really help you on what they will go over with you, but congrats on your pending delivery of the car. Have a safe trip home.

I picked up my car from Kerbeck in April and my salesman recommended picking the car up on a weekday when he has the time to spend with you as Saturdays are too hectic. I followed his advice and I picked up my car on a Wed. and got all the time I needed. However, be careful with the finance guy. He just started when I got my car, and his sales pitch for extras was a little too much for me-maybe he toned down his act now.
If you must pick up the car on a Saturday, don't expect a leisurely session with the salesman while future customers are on the floor.

You can read the owners manual on line before you go.

It was a pretty painless process, but then again I had all my ducks in a row and a cashier's check in hand

I had my C7 shipped from Kerbeck. Amoni had the car prepped and he set most of my personal preferences, based on what I told him over the phone, and everything was perfect when I got the car. I also read the owners manual cover to cover about 3 times prior to receiving the car so I probably knew more about the car than any salesman could.
Congratulations and best of luck with the new car. You're gonna love it.

Thanks Guys!
I have downloaded the manual, and have read parts of it a few times...
Good info on not expecting a lot on Saturday....
I have checks in hand ref the finance guy... so any upsale attempts will be shot down quickly.
