So i ordered my tC on January 3rd and still no call from the dealer. what the hell kinda waiting time is this? where are they shipping it from outer space??? do they just give you this huge time frame so that you wont get ____ed when it doesnt come or is it accurate. I neeeeeeed my tc !

 

Damn, i hope it doesnt take that long. I ordered my car about a week ago, and i was told 2 weeks. Im gonna give em a call tomorrow and see whats up. If i have to wait any longer, id better be gettin something for free...

 

cant ask em in person? (sorry, but had to ask)

as for support - scion customer care really takes care of it's customers - call them from scion.com

as for more info:
where are you? which dealer? what year/color/tranny tC - sometimes they are on 'order' if you are getting some special requests in

 

Thanks for the info. Im up in MI. Ordered a BSP 5 speed tC. From what im told, it was on the train on the way to chicago last week, then from there its gotta be shipped to Mt Clemens. Lets hope its here soon. I gutted my focus and i miss my subs cant wait to get em in the new car

 

Bro, as if you didn't know that the tC is one of the fastest selling and hottest cars out there right now. You are probably on a waiting list and the ETA given to you was probably accurate. Your dealership can possibly trade a tC on their lot with another dealership to try and get yours sooner. But it all depends on what accessories you ordered with your tC. If you did order the SRS side & side curtains that will take some time. When I ordered mine back in Sept. '04 (That long ago already?! ), it took my dealership 2 full weeks to get my tC. And mine was pretty much bone stock dry! I know its hard to wait, but just think of the pimp ride you'll have one it gets here!

 

Two weeks is about right.

 

Yea.
I think it really depends on location.

 

yea im buying my TC on the 1st of FEB. Its a SW 5 speed, with pedestal spoiler.
i went to order mines with all the accesories i wanted on them on Jan.24th
they told me that it should be 2 the dealership on the 5th of FEB. they told me its gonna be thier early and arrive on the 1st so two weeks sounds about right.

 

i was told 8-10 weeks as well, i ended up getting it in about 3-4 weeks. That seemed like eternity. Theyll allocate one hopefully and youll get it sooner

 

got mine in just under 2 months but that was back in like sept 04

 

I lucked out... I ordered mine only like a week and a half ago. It was looking like it might take another 2 to 3 weeks but they managed to convince a bigger dealer up in Raleigh to trade one that is still on the boat. Supposed to arrive in port on the 2nd and get here around the 7th...

 

I'm going to call or go down there today and find out the status, I ordered a 5spd base SW

 

You guys have it all wrong. Dealerships are allocated a certain ammount of vehicles each month. They can put in a request for a specific type/color/transmission ect, but its not guarenteed that they'll get it. Usually they have to swap to get it.

Also the accessories(besides the side curtain airbags) are put on by the dealer 99% of the time. So you're not waiting any longer for a vehicle with accessories or without.

 

waiting sucked. ordered on 27th of august and it came in on sept 9th.

 

i was told the same 8-10 weeks......i got mine within 3 weeks simply because they traded out a Tc that was inncomming with one that was on the ship with another dealer, i hear white is one of the hardest colors to get.......
but yeah you will be waiting.......but its worth it.

 

Who has what wrong? When I said I "ordered" mine, that meant I asked the dealer for a certain color/transmission with whatever options. We all know that our dealers aren't calling up the Factory and asaying "hey send me this now..." But everyone I've talked to, and I've talked to several dealers, says they'll get it eventually... which they will. Sooner if they list it as a preference.... But there are lots of variables. The allocation process is different amongst different regions. Central Atlantic and Southeast all work differently. And, in the SoutEast, the majority of the accessories are put on at the port if at all possible....

 

I ordered mine on Jan 2. I was told 6-10 weeks, but it took about 3.5 It was at the dealership for another couple of days waiting on the TRD springs. It's a BSP 5speed w/ fogs, pedestal spoiler, security system and the springs.

 

It took me 8 weeks to get mine and i was only told 4-6 weeks. But its because i got a SW and they werent producing those as fast. So they probably gave you the best estimate for time.

 

I ordered my 06 white tC in September 05. The dealership told me it would take 4-6 weeks. I got the car 6 weeks to the day after ordering it. I live in Seattle, just three hours away from the port it came in to (Portland, OR). I would think the east coast would take longer, but it will all depend on how long it takes for them to ship it from the factory.

Good Luck! You'll love it when you get it! It's worth the wait!

 

Update: talked to the guy and offred me to purchase a black or silver 5spd off the lot right there and then but im staying strong for my SW! It just arrived in california and will take 10-12 days to get to the scion in vegas here ... 1.5 weeks!
