Doc fees - but they typically zero them out, at least they did for me.

So are you saying they make you pay the $472 doc fee up front like sales tax and then refund it?

I have funds available for wire transfer but prefer not to do that while I am traveling outside of the country. I have sent multiple emails to them as well as a phone call to try and discuss and get a resolution on my situation. I know the folks are very busy but to this point, there has been no response to any of my attempts. Will try again tomorrow!
I was in a similar position, 1st day out of the country was the day my Z06 came off the line. I was not worried about doing the wire transfer with a call on my phone but wouldn't do the e-DOCs on an open internet line, As it turned out I was able to do the wire the morning I got back and the eDocs two days later. They will work with you on those details.

RE the comment about the payment amount, it is (MSRP -DocFee)-deposit+ Doc fee, simplified MSRP-Deposit.

No - on my paperwork, they added the fee, then took it out of the total. So basically - the bottom line of my paperwork is the MSRP price

Since I've decided on a museum delivery, I decided to order from MM, even if I would get a local dealer to offer to order a car for me at MSRP. It's just because I don't know any local dealer well enough to trust them. The concern being that if they would order a car for me at MSRP, I'd never know if they bumped me in the waiting list to crowd in an ADM customer ahead of me.

When I found out they were available, I sent MM an email and they responded within the hour saying they would send me one. The only issue was with USPS - they initially said it would be delivered last week, but was stuck in transit. Got an email this morning that it should be delivered today. But none of that is on MM. The guys in NH are top notch.

I sent an email asking for one and have heard nothing back. I'll give it a few weeks and then send another email. They do fine work and I don't like to bug them. I got my Z in the second allocation, proabably among the first 25 to "go out the door".

Yes, I asked for the brochure at the time of transaction and followed up with a few reminder emails.

It's it similar to buying a Corvette? MSRP or better?

I really wish they had made a Cadillac variant of the C8...but I probably wouldn't have been able to afford it! Ha ha. The service department at Cadillac (when I owned my CTS due to needing a backseat when my kids were little) was a night and day better experience than Chevrolet.

I'm buying a very limited production vehicle (only about 3000 made so far). MSRP while many dealers are adding large ADMs.
