I'd say atleast a month. and thats if it were to just travel straight and not have to go through all the processing and stuff thing about it. It's got to cross the pacific on a superfreighter traveling at no more then 30 or so knots(just a guess) which is a bit faster then 30 mph(i think? i'm not to up on boats) then it's got to be on a trailer from Cali to NJ at 60 MPH. Or it's got to go on a boat ride from japan straight to the east coast even longer. It sucks waiting and i feel your pain, I;m doing the same thing right now

close but not quite right...
it take about 10 days to cross the ocean...(weather permitting)
the ship will go to port newark (in NJ not cali)
unload, process shippments, deliver to dealer (this is the worst part. not all dealers get deliveries every day. they might wait till they get more cars for a delivery)
14 days is a good quick time, but could take up to 21 days. longer than that and the dealer does not move enough cars to get deliveries often enough.
