My car got built early!!!

Had been showing up in the system for a (Sunday) 7/20 build. Recently got moved to 7/21. Today, my dealer emailed me my window sticker with VIN number showing the car has already been built! SWEET!

Now I just have to wait thte 5-6 weeks for it to show.

It takes 5-6 weeks to get to the dealer AFTER production is over?

I don't think so. You should get it 3-4 weeks after production date depending on your location.

This is my dealer's 1st 2009 C63. They confirmed for me that it took 6 weeks from production to doorstop on the 2008 C63 they did last.
