Default How long am I going to have to wait for my new car?

I just order a Tc today and what to know how long people have been waiting. The chick at the dealership said it could be upto 4 months! That sucks also because I already have suspension for it. The other day I found a complete TRD suspension kit on ebay for $470. It had shocks, spring and sway bar seemed like a good price. Oh yeah I live in Southern Cali and its silver which she said is the most popular color.

I live in North County too and i am looking for the 5sp. I ordered if from Scion of Escondido. The only option I chose was the mud guards. Trying to keep it cheap, plus most of the parts are cheaper on the net.

flint mica is actually the most popular color in socal but silver streak will most likely take at least a month. I went with my second choice black sand pearl just cuz the santa monica dealership had it stock - 5 spd =) ooh what a sexy color.

Well I got mine from South Coast Toyota/Scion in Costa Mesa, its a lil under an hour from O'side. I know they have had a few tC's coming in in the past week but they are pretty good about getting one to you asap. One thing that I like is they dont do it on deposits though, as soon as it goes into 'freight' (off the boat and on the dock I belive) and they get the VIN you can buy it, thats what I did and had my tC before I knew it and I KNOW there are people with down payments at Scion of Carlsbad/Escondido that payed for the same car I got and are still waiting. So try to get in touch with Tom from internet/fleet sales, he hooked me up and should be able to get ahold of one for you.
