Question Estimated 8/21 build how accurate is that ?

My dealer just told me he would try to trade for the 8/21 build slot from other dealers. With 8/21 build he estimated the build will take 1 week, shipping 2 weeks, and 1 week to get to him and 1 week to get ready. So that's like early October delivery. So how accurate do you guys think this is?

One of my friends ordered a Alfa Romeo quadrifoglio and he said it's been at the custom forever. Would this happen to C63s?

Thanks guys!

Is that a sedan or coupe? Sedan comes from the US so no customs. If it's a coupe then it may get stuck at customs.

It's a coupe.

I read somewhere that only European Delivery vehicles get stuck since they were actually driven in Europe before boarding the ship. But the non-European delivery ones are fine since they come from factory warped?

Nobody could ever tell you if a customs delay or hold from MB would occur, just have to hope for the best there since it's out of your and your dealers hands.

As as far as time goes for a German build like the coupe, if you plan on 6-8 weeks from production decade, and without having a calendar in front of me sounds like you may be 3rd decade of August build slot......so mid to late October, and if it appears sooner, great!
