That would be the deal breaker. However according to NCM GM hasn't released any vehicles to them. So there's a slim chance I might be able to have it shipped to the dealer without incurring the extra transportation charge.

No one is getting out of paying destination charge. Talk about beating a dead horse.

There's a lot more to it than that. The reason GM hasn't released any cars to them is because they haven't released any cars to anyone. They will begin receiving cars at the same time that the cars are made available for shipment to dealers. The car has a ship code attached to it. The ship code is for the museum and at this point, I don't think that can be changed. You would have to wait for shipping to open up, then for the car to be sent to the museum and then have the dealer arrange alternate transport from the museum.

If I were you, I would stick with museum delivery. It's more than likely going to delay the car even longer if you don't.

I'm almost tempted to pass on the NCM and have it shipped to the dealer now.....

Oh the pain of 1st world problems.....
Passing on Museum Delivery is the smartest choice to make.

You might want to try reading the whole thread. Paying the destination charge isn't the issue....

Understood. A lot of this is speculation on my part fueled by my dealer wanting the car paid for in the next few days. If the rumors are true, vehicles start being released today.

That would make receiving the Corvette be delayed. Stick with the museum delivery. You'll receive it faster.
