Default How long....?

I bought a 2006 bsp scion tc a week ago. The dealership told me dat they would first look around in local areas and try to locate a bsp tc, unfortunately there were none so now its being ordered from japan. They said it wold take 7 to 8 weeks, or by a miracle it could be 2 to 3 weeks. They said they would be able to let me know precisely in a week. Has anyone gone through da same as me, n if so, how long was da wait?

i was told anywhere from 4 - 12 weeks.
it depends on your location and when you ordered.
the dealer sends there orders every 1st and 16th (unless it falls on the weekend)

it seems you ordered after the first so you would have to wait untill after the 16th to see what your dealer will be allocated.

I ordered the day before they sent their orders so they got one allocated for me and i took delivery about 3 weeks after I went.

hmm my dealer said that it would take 3-6 weeks and by the end of the 6th week i got my car..felt like forever and they also tried to pressure me into buying a diff tC but it wasnt what i wanted so yea i think waiting is better b/c it will meet ur specifications and they will call you when the car gets there and tell them to make sure no one test drives it! haha good luck!

Call around at all the local dealers just to make sure. I was told 4 weeks, called another dealer, they drove one down from about 3 cities away and hit it in 3 days.

Good choice for the color :D The tC definitely needs to be lowered, im planning to do TRD shocks/springs for a subtle drop.

I was told 6-8 weeks, it's been 3 so far and no Scion yet. They had a BCP auto and a SW manual on the lot, but I didn't like the equipment on either, so I ordered...

Week #6 begins for me this Friday... They need to put a supercharger on the boats bringing Scions to the USA because it's taking too long.
