I purchased my car from Macmulkin, and getting a courtesy delivery to West coast. It's $750 for the courtesy delivery. In the terms, though, it says 'Detail will be an additional $200', also $60 for gas. I was planning on telling them no detail, and just leave everything, including the plastic on the seats. I need a little gas to get it home though, so i guess i'm stuck with the $60. kind of lame, though, since i'm already paying $750 just for them to give me the car

I had arranged with a local dealer for courtesy delivery for 800 dollars. It seemed high for South Carolina but I had been doing business with them for several years and it was convenient. Yesterday, Christina contacted said dealer to finalize delivery details only to be told that the fee was raised to 1000 because the dealership had to buy new equipment for the C8. To me, that's BS and flat out gouging.
I did a little shopping and found a dealer 30 miles from me that will do it for 350. Christina is making the appropriate arrangements.
