Default Courtesy Delivery accepting dealers?

Anyone recently have a dealer around San Diego (or SoCal) accept a courtesy delivery of a car that was purchased from another dealership?

I called around and left VM's at some dealerships but haven't heard back.

There are DeLillo in Orange County and Paradise in Ventura, CA. I used Paradise. They did a proper PDI and charged only $300 courtesy delivery fee. Some complain that Paradise only fills up half the tank. Most courtesy delivery dealers that supply a full tank of gas charge between $500 and $1,000 so do the math...

I recently had a courtesy delivery thru Connell as referred by my dealer. Not a good experience! Threw me the keys and wanted to get rid of me ASAP. I spent time on my own inspecting the vehicle and noticed a small gouge in the front lip. Salesman seemed very irritated I had noticed and that it was going to cost them $500 to replace as there was no indication it occurred during transport. I had a question for the service gentleman regarding the brake ducts and he was not very helpful or pleasant either. $1000. No dealer in SD would do a CD and Temecula wanted $1500.

Sorry you did not have a good experience. By "front lip" I suppose you mean the Z51 front splitter. That is a dealer-installed item that was either defective or damaged by the dealer when installing. The part lists for $225 and will undoubtedly be claimed by the dealer as a warranty item.

Contact Scott Luttenberger Sr. at 805 642-0111. He is the Fleet Manager [it is the Fleet Manager that is responsible for Courtesy Deliveries at most dealers]

I also had my car delivered to Paradise, I got the train at 6 am in old town and arrived at about 11 am in Ventura and took Uber to the dealer. I was in and out of the dealer in less than a half hour and at that time they had put 10 gallons of gas in the car as part of the delivery deal.
