Default Delivery time frame

Anyone have an idea about how long it takes between the time factory builds car and delivery to the dealer?

well its sitting in batch and hold at lansing grand river assembly right now id assume... then it will get moved out to the rail head right by my plant just down the road if it passed the dvt (dynamic vehicle test) where they run it on the rollers up to 80 mph or near it, check for squeaks and rattles etc etc.) and did not need to go to the repair hole....

it might sit at the rail head for up to a week then it will get a on a rail car destined for cali.

id say your dealer will see it in 2 weeks tops if all goes well.. i got your vin. maybe ill make a call and see where shes at for ya! maybe go out to the rail head and run her through the gears for ya! lol jk jk jk ill see what i can find out

talked to the plant manager.. he checked the vin and the production number and he sed it will be released from the plant tomarrow, meaning the issue i told you about has been fixed on all the v's in holding...

id say your dealer could see it by end of next week?

OP, is it safe to say that your new V will be Thunder Gray?

If I was to upgrade (actually, my wife gave me the go ahead, but I'm trying to be practical), THAT'S the color I'd go for.

I envy you. You have to post up some pics when she arrives.
