Default I Finally Got My 2020 C8!

Pretty pumped. Beautiful car. Inside and out. Chevy really hit it out of the park. Deposit placed, sight unseen, at MacMulkin in September. Built 6/14. Delivered to SoCal.7/29.

Great looking C8! Were you in MacMulkin's Feb or March allocation?

Looks awesome!

Did DeLillo do the courtesy delivery? If so, how was it?

Jealous. I put my deposit at the end of Aug last year with a top 3 dealer. Best guess on mine is now probably Dec-Feb for me. I am planning on something similar to yours. Torch Red. I'm in OC too.

They did. It was pretty painless. I asked them not to wash the car.
The delivery process is:
-Dealer removes exterior protection plastic.
-Dealer puts car on lift and installs front underside plastics that are removed for shipping.
-Dealer checks and tops off fluids.
-Dealer washes the car (I requested not to)
-Dealer puts some gas in the car and hands you the keys.

That was my process. They are supposed to walk you through the cars functions and features but that did not happen and it didn’t matter to me.

They have one of the most expensive Courtesy Delivery fees around at $800 and they only put 2 gallons in the car at the gas station 😂.
I know because I had the MyChevy app synced to the car. The car arrived with 2 gallons and I left with 4 gallons. For $800 I expected not to be penny pinched so that was a bit annoying.
The bottom line is the car arrived safely. MacMulkin trusts this dealer, even it was very hard for me to, and nothing bag happened to the car at the dealer. Ultimately that’s all I really care about. *end deliver panic mode*. Begin “ownership panic mode”.

Looks good. Also very close to my order. Tell us about it, 3LT? 2LT? Suede wheel and seats or not?

Interesting that yours took 6 weeks to Orange County, and mine took 4 weeks to Ventura. Must be dozens of reasons, I guess. Congratulations!!
