Mine xB is on the ship, but has go from port to Chicago by train, then from Chicago to my dealer by truck. Your route should be the same. I was told mine would leave the port on its train in about 3 weeks, then take another 3 weeks to get to my dealer.

Yeah, waiting is no fun. We ordered ours in January. Dealer called last week and said boat should hit port on Feb 20th. Then all the cars have to make it through customs which could take anywhere from 2 days to three weeks. Then a two to three day truck ride to virginia and we're golden. All we can do for now is hang out on Scionlife and watch Lucky go together. In the meantime I'm beginning to compile a lot of parts for a car we don't even own yet!!!

For the Midwest, it's 2-3 weeks after your car leaves port.

There is no hard and fast rule as to how long it takes though and it does depend on the weather.

Froto13 - a) WELCOME! and b) I would take what alex (grizzly_choppers) said, he's one of the coolest scion owners/salesmen on this board, and I've not known him to be wrong.

My actual purchase....I looked online at the four dealerships inventory. I saw an Envy Green showing available at Dub Richardson Scion in OK. Called them up about 3pm and said I would be there at about 5:30pm after work. Filled out online Toyota Finance, approved, got to dealer at 5:30pm. Filled out paperwork and put $6400 down, at 6:15pm it was mine. BTW, there will be one available at Bob Howard Scion of Edmond, OK available when it gets in;)
