Mine was on the lot: 2005 PW w/MT, only 1 mile, front bumper not even drilled yet for the front license plate.

I visited the dealer a week or so ago to buy one of those rear cargo nets, and it looked like they had one in every color (except hot lava). Didn't look close enough to see if they were MTs or ATs, but it was neat to see all those colors side by side!

dealer said about 4-6 weeks on mine(planning to order around Oct 1)... which should put it herearound Christmas. Fine with me as I plan to not drive it much until spring anyway so I can get some mods done in the garage.

I think the intent of this post was to ask "how long did you have to wait to recieve the xB" not how long did the paperwork take. Some of us had to wait days-weeks-months to get ours. we didnt just drive up and it was thier....

called my dealer today to make sure he hadn't forgotten about me...lol

Told me my xB arrived in NY on the 30th and should be at the dealership in a week from the 30th. So hopefully I will have it around the 9th or 10th at the latest!

Any idea why it would take them a week to get it from NY to MD?

Only good thing about it is, it gives me an extra week or so to save up for my rims, lights, spoiler, and tint.

My dealer told me mine was in NY two weeks ago, and I still haven't seen it. I called on Tuesday, and he said it's now "on the truck," which means it could arrive at any time. I think every xB should get a tracking number at the port so we can track their whereabouts a la UPS. :D I am sooo not patient.

Default Long Wait

I worked with 3 different dealerships around where i live, and i still had to wait atleast a month & a half before getting my Polar White xB. It was pretty much whomever can get my car the fastest gets my money. The bigger dealership got it. LoL..figures.. Its a pain in the ___ waiting for your xB, i know all to well. I have it now, and am having a blast. Good Luck on everthing... hope you get it in soon.. Peace \/

I waited 3 days instead of the 3 weeks I was told. This was for a 5 speed TCM. It seems that at the time I bought mine, this was the most popular choice/configuration.

Originally ordered an '04 Lava box. Read here the '05's had just come out and cancelled the Lave and ordered an '05 Polar White. 10 days later I was driving my P.W. xB.

5 weeks and counting... I'm begining to wonder if they sold my xB to someone else and are making me wait. I didn't buy any extras and I'm paying cash. The dealer was not happy with me at all. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they sold it to someone who went crazy with the accessories and bought their financing.

I arrived at the dealer at 2pm had the polar white xB with automatic picked out and the paperwork done and drove off the lot by 4pm.

I looked at my first xB the day before. made some calls found what I wanted at Longo Scion [they had at least 2. I test drove one with 53 miles and when we went out to drive off, the salesperson had changed it for the one with 23 miles she could have sold the other one, I would not have known they had a second one.

Longo is a rather large place [they have sold more Toyotas since like 1967 than anybody oh my!] and the only ones I actually saw were the two white ones and the one with manual transmission on the floor with leather seats. we were the 67th car sold that DAY

Haha,

I waited all of 10minutes to go to my dealership to buy one.

#5 xB sold in the Sacramento Valley :twisted: (bought at 7:00pm, Monday June 9th at Florin Road Toyota/Scion, which is now called Elk Grove Toyota/Scion )

haha

It was funny, because the morning of, my dad showed me an ad in the Sacramento Bee. and I was like, THAT IS SICK!

So that afternoon, he took me by Florin Road toyota, and we talked with John Park for about 2 hours, went over everything, and I then had my dad go home, get my truck he gave me while I stayed with John, and he then came back, did the paperwork, and left home by 7pm.

The very next day I went and had bought wheels and tires, the week after, I had the Dots put on by the dealer, and two weeks following the dip n' dots, I bought the TRD exhaust, and then the rest is history.

One year, 3 months, and 2 days after I came home with my first new car, I have only 9600miles on the odometer.

And only one ticket to date :D (damn carpool lane ;) )

All in all, I love my car, as well as my parents love theirs!

Scion Life = SCION FOR LIFE

late.

Default Had mine quick

Had mine before they were released here in Ohio. Awesome feeling, driving around, people having no clue what it is.
