Default Miracle delivery time

Dealer just called to tell me my car will arrive Wed or Thurs. This is crazy!!!! I ordered it on March 13!!! This could be a record. I've never heard of such a fast build. I was expecting the car in mid/late May. I'm sooooo excited to be able to join the ranks of the c2S class drivers so soon!

100% sure. There was not a locate with all of my specs, so I'm positive. Just can't believe it's so fast.

That is SUPER fast! The best I ever did some time back was just under 60 days,--and that was me picking it up at the factory!

Congratulations!!

Congrats, that is unbelievable. I wonder what the average delivery time is for a Pcar.

Thanks guys. The dealer told me usually it averages around 2-3 months. He said in his 20 years of selling p cars, this was the fastest won he'd ever seen built and sent. I hope they didn't sacrifice quality for speed. I'm guessing they had a car just like mine all ready to go with only simple mods to be made, and I probably made the build cutoff day just in time.

Congratulations. But check that odometer. Make sure it's not a car they found on a lot that others have been test driving. Mine only had 26 miles when I picked it up and I had to wait 6 months.

Hey Jay, now don't go ruining his joy with that pessimistic viewpoint.

I'm sure his order probably "hit all the green lights" like Hollie82 says.

We've tracked the car since it went into production, to when it went ONVESL, to when the PDI got done at the inspection station at mulroney(I think that's what it's called). it goes on the truck tommorrow morning. I guarantee it's a new car. I must've gotten lucky. I'll definitely post pics soon, although I'm so freaking busy with work this week, it will probably sit in the garage until I can detail it Saturday or Sunday. And I get my clear bra on next Monday, so I won't be driving it much anyway.
