The cars ARE complete rollers (sans tires) when they leave Port Elizabeth. The dealer adds tires, "preps" the chassis ("prep" is a term that varies from dealer to dealer but there is an SPF prep form to follow).
All dealers learn more as time goes on. I have learned from talking to dealers and customers. In my opinion a proper "prep" on a MK III is about 8-16 hours of checking fasteners, hooking the electrical system up to electrons and testing to bleeding brakes and clutch.
