The first stage and the second-to-the-last ("Finishing Touches") are the most frustrating. Since the car can be in those states for a while.

For example, "Finishing Touches" basically means the car is done and waiting to be shipped. It could wait on a truck for days while the driver tries to fill his trailer. By the same token, it could be your's is the one he's waiting on as it rolls off the assembly line directly onto the truck and they start rolling.

I get the feeling stage 0 is the same. However, if you speak with your SA, they can get a more definitive stage, like a sub-stage, and can tell you what it means.

One good thing I heard was that if there are no Owner-Builds in front of you, they will bump your order in front of the Dealer-Builds. If that makes sense.
