Really Guys.. Once your car is built and has a VIN you can knock out everything; Reg, Financing, and Insurance. I get some of you want to drive it first, but for those who are decided. Go to dealer and knock out the paper work. I completed my financing on Aug 1st. I took delivery on Aug 16th and by the time I was back from Germany my plates were in the mail. Mercedes USA delayed my first car note payment until Oct 1st. I just called Esurance yesterday. My advice if you know you are buying the car.... Get the paper done now, or risk the crazy Apple like delays for the financing team to do the paperwork. It took 2 hours for them to do paperwork and no one was in the dealer. $0.02
