I was given an estimated delivery of 12/18 (yay!) and was just wondering what experience some of you have had with how accurate these dates were for you.

POST EDIT:

Date changed to 12/17! :smile:

My original delivery date was 11/28, then it was pushed to back to the 3rd, but I actually took delivery on 12/2. Good luck, you're almost there! :smile:

Once you're loaded on the boat and they know when you'll be in the VDC, then you get an est. delivery date.

I had a estimated delivery date of 11/23 which turned out to be right on. I took a few days for my dealer to prep the car for delivery to me 11/26. Good luck with the holidays. What a great X-mas present.

Mine had a delivery date of 11/24 and was actually delivered on 12/13. Now its back at the dealer since, despite the long wait, little prepping was apparently done and the roof came dented and scratched.
