If I order my car today, when would be my estimated delivery date?

Zonian22 · 02-23-2008, 08:04 AM

If I am looking for a July Delivery Date, what would be the best guesstamation as to when I should place an order? Any thoughts? I ask this after reading the thread about limited Allocation numbers which left me alittle concerned as I was waiting until atleast May to order for an early July Delivery. From the looks of the thread, if I order now, I'll recieve delivery sometime in 2010, lol! Thanks.

didn't someone around here just say they put in an order recently with a early/mid june estimated delivery date?

if i had to guess i'd say april but what do i know. hopefully your dealer can give you a better idea.

i'd agree with that.. although I have some doubt with mine getting here on launch date, even thou i ordered over a month 1/2 ago and still not in production yet

I think the rough time from the order being accepted by the plant, to delivery, is about 2 months. But I ordered about a month before my order was actually accepted-- depends on dealer allocations too. A big dealership might be able to get the order in sooner.

My dealership said they had a spot build in march estimated time for delivery mid april... Mine status is still on order but its only been a week.

I ordered this week. They are telling me late april. However, their allocation spot for me is not avail till next week (they think). It is all a guess right now till they get the order in, but I'll update you when I get my production #

I just ordered yesterday with an mid April production date and 3rd week of June-ish pickup date. Yesterday was Feb 22, so it looks like about 4 months until it's all said and done..

edit: I forgot to mention, from what I understand, my dealer only had 2 more slots left for April production, not sure what he has for anything later.

Late April production, correct?

0002s · 02-23-2008, 03:00 PM

I ordered on 2.07.08
Production started on 2.19.08
Production is scheduled to finish on 2.25.08
Train/boat load take 7-10 days (3.03.08 or 3.07.08 when I should make boat)
Boat trip takes 10 days
Prep/dealer take 10-14 days

My guess is get mine the last week of March or first week of April.

So....2 months

How is your order moving along so fast.. Looks like 2x faster than what I expect? @_@

Put in your order ASAP and tell your dealer when you want it. They'll probably choose to wait for a May or June production slot, but at least you'll be in the system and be more likely to get your desired slot.
