I'm just trying to get a narrowed down window for a delivery date so I can sell my car. I don't think they'll do it, because I feel like I'm dealing with a respectable dealer, but I don't want to sell my car and subsequently have a massive delay on my Si and be stuck without a car for several weeks.

Right now, my current plan is to sell my car this weekend and rent a car for about a week. But again, I don't want to grab my ankles on this one.

Also, does anyone have an idea of how long it takes to build the car? I have no clue about this, I'm just curious. I've read on several threads that it takes 7-10 days after the build date to take delivery, I'm curious as to how many of these days are spent actually building the car.

I'm ready for this month to be over, so I can have my Si and all this stress will be behind me.

The worst that can happen is the build date is this Friday and it'll be in the dealership about a week and a half or two later (for me it took a little over a week from the build date to arrive in Yonkers NY, delivery time is dependent on where you are in the US). Unless you trust your dealership I'd wait a week until I get the VIN number and know for sure the car is in transit.
