Dealer Prep Time?

I have a TR z07 that arrived last night to the dealer. They started early today getting it ready for delivery. They are telling me it will be tomorrow night at the earliest before they are done. Does anyone have any idea what is involved and if it should take this long?

Thanks,

Should not take this long but I am sure they will say it is because they have to put the aero pieces on.

As I said in your other post. I saw it being prepped, the fellow was working on it and as he said he wanted to do it right as this was his first Z06.

I would tell them not to wash it. I always pick up my cars dirty. I'll do the washing...

It shouldn't take that long and I definately wouldn't let them wash it. I guess it's fine if they wanna be careful but attaching a few spoilers isn't that big of a deal, especially with a lift. I used to be a tech, and have done PDI's by the way.
