Well, I was scheduled for a Friday delivery but the government is shutting down all non essential busineses as of Thursday for 3 weeks. As this point I don't even mind as I would be parking the car for the next few weeks anyways. I've driven 200 Km in the last 2 weeks. 17th of April is a realistic date now, but who knows!

I’m ok with it actually. My SA was more depressed than I was. Since I came back from Mexico recently, I have to self isolate until Friday. I will be much happier to take the car when the bulk of the storm has hopefully passed. I had a whole day planed out. Friday would have been a quick delivery with everyone at a 10 foot distance using Purell profusely and me parking the car home for 3 weeks. Hopefully in 3-4 weeks I get to do a proper delivery and stretch the M2s legs on a nice day with a nice IPA at my favorite spot as nice reward

Well, my car's lost.
It was supposed to hit the port in CA this afternoon. But, nobody seems to know if the port is open, cars are being run through PDI, or even being transported. And my SA is in quarantine for two weeks. I called and left a message with another SA-- the GM is supposed to call me tomorrow. Sigh. Denver just went into lockdown for two weeks, so I guess it doesn't really matter. R. |

When I called the insurance yesterday to change the delivery date, the guy told me some dealers are doing just that. My SA didn't offer anything like that.

No idea on the ship name-- I haven't been tracking it.
I'll see what the GM says. Between the port may or may not being open, the PDI may or may not be operating, the transport from CA to CO may or may not be happening, the dealership may or may not be shut down, and my SA in quarantine, it's a bit tough to get any information at the moment. I'll wait until later this afternoon for a call back. If I don't hear anything, I'll reach out. This is NOT how I thought my delivery would go when I placed the Allocation order! R. |

My thoughts exactly. I think we can all agree that these are champagne problems as well...

My cars found-- it only took four calls to the dealer.
Yay. It's on the Oceanus Leader (?) and is scheduled to hit Port Hueneme tomorrow (26 March). The Denver dealer says that everything at the port and associated transport are up and running, so it should be here in Denver the first week on April. Of course, I'm flying that week-- figures. So, the plan *at the moment* is to pick up the car the afternoon of 6 April, work on installing a few body parts (IND reflector delete, etc) on 7 April, and turn it over to the paint correction/PPF guys on 8-9 April. I told the dealer that since my original SA's in quarantine, to put in BIG BOLD LETTERS to A) NOT drill the front bumper and B) leave all packaging/paint protection on the car and C) do NOT wash it-- That's how the paint guys want the car. I'm out of town 10-14 April, so it'll just sit in the garage until I get back, then the first thing I'll do is paint the exhaust udder. Plan? Meet house of cards. But at least it's something to look forward to! R. |

Colorado just shut down.
The mayor shut down Denver two days ago. Then the suburbs went into lockdown yesterday. Today, the Governor locked down the state until the end of April. Not sure how that's going to affect things. I'll ask on Monday I guess. R. Last edited by flybigjet; 03-25-2020 at 09:34 PM.. |

Just make sure you're practicing good social distancing during delivery. Your CA should just throw you the keys 10 feet away from you

Some of the auto dealers here in NY are only open for service, sales are closed for the foreseeable future.
So if some of you still have the privilege of purchasing a new car, consider yourself lucky. |

Called today, they never called back-- which has become the norm.
For a dealership with nothing going on in the midst of this CV thing, they're sure not very good at returning phone calls. My original SA was great at communication, but he's at home on quarantine. I'll call tomorrow (Tues). But I'm getting ready to escalate to the GM. NOBODY is buying expensive cars, and considering I'm going to write them a fairly large check, you'd think they'd be interested in at least keeping me in the loop. Rant: Off. |
