Default Car arrives tomorow but cant take it home

Just got the call from the dealer and my GT3 will arrive around noon on Saturday. But I am told I can not take it home until Monday as they need to do a bunch of checks on it and the mechanic wont be there all day tomorow. Is this normal or should I try and do something about it

If it were the end of the month they would be begging you to come get it - Saturday or not.

Let them keep it for a few days. Build good rapport with your dealer...next time you'll be at the top of the list for hard to get cars. I let them keep mine in the showroom for a few days. Small sacrifice for MSRP.
