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.

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.

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.
