How long to deliver custom build to dealer?
If I know my specific build date for a C43 (Alabama plant), does anyone know how long it takes for car to get from factory to dealer? Just wondering if there is a ballpark timeframe.

Leave yourself 2-3 months for an Alabama car.

2-3 months FROM THE BUILD DATE? I don't think so. Let's say it is built April 9 for example. How many weeks to get it to my dealer in the midwest?

The vehicle doesn't go directly to the Dealer, my understanding is after the vehicle is built it is sent to a VPC (Vehicle Preparation Center), at which point it is an additional 2 - 4 weeks before your Dealer would receive the vehicle.

Probably 6 weeks.

When we were ordering a car, about 3 months from the order date (not the build date) was pretty commonly quoted by our local dealers. If a dealer has an order that hasn't "Locked" and if they are able to switch it in time it might shorten it a bit. 6 weeks from the build date seems reasonable. However, I remember even after our car was completed it took about a week longer than projected by our sales person, for it to get trucked to the dealer.
