so i might be ordering the tc this weekend... but not for sure yet.. ive decided to go with the BSP and i just wanted to know how long do you think it would take to get the tc shipped to chicago area.. if people could post how long it took for them to get their cars.. my friends have 05 models but theirs took between 10 days to a month.. thanks in advance..

 

only the dealer could tell you that. some ppl here buy the one they test drive, some ppl wait 3 or 4 weeks (me...still waiting.....)and some people go all out and get a manual with side airbags, and that takes about 3 months. go to the dealer and tell him what you're looking for. he'll give you an estimate on the wait time. good luck.

 

My car took 3 weeks to the day from order to pickup in San Antonio, TX. There just isn't a standard waittime for each city, it all depends on how quickly they can find you a car and allocate it to the dealer. When dealers say 2-5 weeks PROBABLY, they mean it...probably will be 2-5 weeks, maybe shorter, maybe longer, they just don't know.

 

I just ordered mine, 06 Nautical Blue with everything but automatic and no Side Air Bags. Mine'll take around 4 weeks. That's what it should be unless you order manual or the air bags.

 

i have a 06, took less then a week

 

well im hopefully getting an 06 BSP auto stock.. do you think that helps with the wait i mean they dont gotta bother installing anything onto the car and what not.

 

I waited for my car almost exactly a month. I was told (by the dealer) that depending on which color you order and what state you live in affects the waiting period for the car.

For example, the wait period for a BSP tC in CA is shorter than the wait period for a BSP tC in PA - I know, I asked. So my second choice was the IIP tC which I received in about a month.

Apparently different color tCs are shipped to different areas of the country in different abundance. Does that make any sense? I'll stop rambling now . . .

 

Does the manual and side air bags really make that much difference. Because Mine is a NB Manual and Side air bags. When I ordered mine last weekend they said that that combonation was very rare and it may take a while atleast until the end of august.

 

well i bought mine last august ... walked into the lobby of the dealership and there she was... told them to open up the double doors becuz this ones going home w/ me

 

Manuals and SAB are harder to get. I think they are only building 25% of the cars with SAB. I forgot the percentage of manual, but surely they saw what was sold last year and adjusted the numbers accordingly. I waited for a month for an AP 5spd SAB package last year. I was told that was hard to get because AP was a rare color. I don't know what the NB numbers are, but if they are like IIP I would say it would be easy to get your color and combo, but you might still have to wait a few weeks.

 

yeah i ordered mine with sab and i had to drop it because they could not find one for me without a rediculous wait. Mine took a month, FM 5speed, and im super happy with it.

 

I got mine the next day. My dealer found one fairly close and did there best to get it for me.

 

When you get your car, get... Simoniz. It's worth it if you think 'bout it, they teflon the whole car for $500. Meaning, you get a protective layer all over your car. Because of Simoniz, the bug stains and bird ____ wipe right off. ALSO, you get an additional clear coating because of Simoniz, it's already worth it for the extra clear coat, but also teflon, that's totally worth it. Well, that's MY OPINION.

 

cool

 

where do you get Simoniz?

 

The dealership will usually ask at the end of the transaction if you want one or not.

 

my dealer called today and told me it'd be a shorter wait for a FM w/SAR, then he called back a little later saying he found one coming in w/o them and it was back to the original time(4-5weeks).
