Pick up was good. No high pressure sales of anything. The Finance person explained the warranties, service contracts, wheel and rim stuff but I wasn't ready to commit to any of that before researching other options. I signed the contract, wrote a cheque for the down payment and that was it.
There was some glue from the protective sheets that had to be removed and some other stuff on the hood and they buffed all that out. The CA helped me connect my phone showed me some of the important things and away I went.
The whole process took about 2.5 hours.
Overall, a great experience!

Thanks for all the details and pictures!
Your car looks a lot like what I ordered so I'm excited. I'm going in tomorrow to get the car and want to minimize time in the dealership (mostly to avoid germs since our family is a revolving door of illness this winter...).
So what specifically were the things they offer and are any of them worth considering to pay for?
Also, what was the out of door price vs MSRP? What realistically can I negotiate to?
