The only thing I would worry about is the dealer letting someone test drive the car prior to you picking it up. That happened to a guy in my area and the guy that test drove the car ended up taking out the car's intercooler...it took additional time to get the car fixed...

Personally I would get it asap...screw the salesperson...the car is worth it...if I would have put off getting mine I would only be hurting myself....besides the sooner you get it the faster you will be done with the dealership...then you have free reign to blast them in their service satisfaction report cards....
Those report cards are like gold for the dealership...my dealership was throwing all kinds of little freebies my way in order to get me to fill mine out faster....

Good luck....Mine had 30 when I picked it up...just to give you an idea of where yours should sit if they didn't let anyone touch it....

I didn't think that was an easy feat to accomplish. Are they compensating you for how much they didn't care for your car? That's ridiculous...

OMFG, I would **** bricks!
You had better get $2000 knocked off the price of the car. Seriously, I would be going insane!
Ya I was pissed off. I got a call tonight from the dealer. They said the car will be ready tomorrow and I can come pick it up any time. I can't realy get any more off the car they said. Im getting the thing with tax and every thing. $22,995.61

The hell you can't!
They ripped the front bumper off. You can refuse to purchase the car. They have to disclose this stuff.
Hell, I almost bought a TSX that had the bumper ripped off and they were taking $4k off.
Don't ***** out man!

Well I cancelled my SS/TC order and ended up picking up an 06 GTO instead. There's a black on black/red, with sunroof, low spoiler, and LSD coming to Ballweg Chevy in Middleton, WI that just became availiable. Should be at the dealership soon.
Goes well with my Velocity Yellow Z06.
