Default How long did it take to get yours in?

Dealer just ordered my BSP Xb. He said it will take 1-2 weeks to get in. How long did it take to get yours after it was ordered from the factory? Just sold my Type-R so I am down a car and am driving my lifted 4-runner. I love driving it but it is getting tired(35's and stock gears). It's also a gas hog(round trip 75 miles to work and back).

I am ordering wheels tomorrow and maybe an intake. Starting to get parts gathered together so I drive it straight from the dealer to my garage and start wrenching. Can't wait. :D I'm excited to start a new project.

1-2 weeks sounds reasonable to me. What options did you get? did the dealer give you a VIN #? Lithia Scion of Medford told me that it would take "45-60 days" to get a TCM MT. I was like "nexted please" so I drove up I-5 to Wheeler Totota, and they had one for me in a week!

i had a bunch of accessories put on mine, and its still only took just about 2 weeks to come in...that seems to be the standard wait...that is, that was the wait a few months ago. My dealer has a few of each model IN STOCK now including a Hot Lava and in 2 weeks some TC's.

In February, we went to a dealership in San Antonio, where they told us that they couldn't get one in for more than 3 months.

The next day we drove 20 miles north to San Marcos Toyota, and 2 weeks later we were driving our car...we got lucky, because there was a delivery truck with 1 camo green xB headed for Texas when we made our final decision, so it was just a matter of getting "dibs" on it through the dealership.

I went to the dealer the day I was ready to buy mine and they had one on the lot. I just had to bring it back for a day to get all of my stuff put on.

Mine was on the lot. But I had to wait a week for the accessories to come in and be installed. Then when I was picking it up, I was moving all my stuff over from the ranger to the Scion and before I even unloaded the first load, there were people sitting in my car!! Oh well.

The salesman at the first dealership said "by the end of the week". One month later we drove to Houston to get a different one because the first one still wasn't in. They had them in stock in Houston. That was in March, late last week the one I ordered from the first dealership finally came in. I'm so gald I didn't wait.

Good Luck!

I ordered it w/ Tanabe Springs, rear spoiler, Bazooka tube, Rear bumper applique, and floor mats/cargo mat. We have found a couple within 300 miles away but the dealers will not call him back re:dealer trade. I hope I don't have to wait as long as MeKeeney, my patience would be wearing thin.

I'm paying cash too, thought that would make it go by faster.

I told mine that I was looking into a manual Blue Onyx, but i wanted to test drive one with a stick first. So they told me "I got one on the dock now, will be here in a week and a half" i took around 2 weeks but hey I was only really looking into them, not thinking i could buy it. After the test drive, i knew this was my car. It sat on the lot for about a week, untouched. Still with the 9 miles from my test drive, before i came in w/ the $1500 for the DP. Then 3 days later, i was rockin the box baby! :D

I got mine within a week. The dealership said it's between 2-5 days. That one week felt like a month to me. After the 5th day, I made my mom, dad, boyfriend, and myself call the dealership...hehehe.

Looks like I am going to have to try to be patient. But in the meantime I have stuff coming in for it, maybe that will make the wait shorter.
