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 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.

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.

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.

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).
