Default NCM Delivery Question

I have been wondering if opting for the NCM delivery would put me in the seat of my car faster as I would not have to wait for the truck to deliver it to south central NY State, or is waiting in line for a NCM delivery date the same time frame?

NCM schedules deliveries about 2 weeks after build date. So, probably no faster except for those areas shipped via rail - which includes New York (North of Albany) which would not seem to impact you.

Thank you. I live in Corning, my dealer is in Elmira, so should be the same time. Appreciate your input.

The Museum delivery I would highly recommend . Plus the track should be open for the season too. The museum tour is also a wonderful walk though experience . You will know everything about the car with all the time they spend with you. Long drive home but in the new Corvette its just different in a goooood way !!!

The museum delivery is worth the money and wait time to do. You have to do it at least once. It is an experience you will cherish forever. I know I did and will.

I agree, it was a great experience and the drive home was a blast. But one of the best reasons was that the PDI on a specialized vehicle was done by guys who do more in a day than some dealers do in a year. And no car wash kid doing donuts in the parking lot or taking his buddy to lunch. There’s a great video (I’ll post if I can find it) about the detail they go through in washing the car. I learned some great tips.

Ed..
The carriers go to your area (at least with the C7's) before they come here.
I have over the years seen Corvettes on JC trucks on 86/17 headed east
Don't know how long after build thou.
Followed this one to Botnicks
