Default How long did you have to wait for your xb?

I am waiting for my xb and they told me it would take 7 to 10 days. Right now they are saying December 2nd. I can hardly wait!!!~ I am just wondering if you had to wait and how long? and if it was there when they said it was going to be? As if I have to wait longer than Dec 2nd I am gonna be mad!LOL~

i jus hope you didnt pick the dealer i chose althought i am from san anontio, tx they kept BSing well it seemed that way to me. my dad had called and whatever in Oct at the beginning i believe it was the 3 and they said they could get the car fast and whatever so we overnighter the check after i told them what i wanted. well after a few days we called to see what was up to keep in contact and they said they hadnt recieved the check 7 days after we sent it they finally found it. then they said it would take 2 to 3 days to get the car to the dealer and then 8 to 10 working days for the car to make it to San Antonio so they said it would be here by a certain date which i dont remember but when that day came around... no scion so we called again then they came up with it was going to take 8 dayd for the scion to come in to the dealer arghh so now its Nov 8th i believe and finally my scion arrives and im smiling from ear to ear :D but then i still cant drive it cause i need the title to get the plates out and the dealer didnt even apply for it til after we called them and asked for it when they could have did it the same day they ordered the car but yeah it was a month of hell and anticipation which paid off in the end because when i drive i still have that smile on my face i hope you dont have to go thru what i did

i guess i was pretty lucky... one week after my civic died, i had my new baby! the day my civic gave out, i went to longo and only then realized how affordable the scion was.. i was ready to bring it home that very day but they didnt have a black one. they said the only way i'd be able to get one was to order it and even then, the next shipment wasnt due for about 4-5 wks. i decided just to check back later. 7 days after, i called in and they had 2 black xbs so i rolled in and picked it up. and we lived happily ever after :D

Thanks everyone........My dealer said 7 to 10 working days and said no later than December 3rd.~~ So I am hoping they keep there word. If they do not I am headed to the city to find a dealer that has my car!LOL~ I did not put a deposit down or sign anything so I can just look elsewhere if they make me wait past the time they said it would be there. I have a week left to wait!!! The waiting is so hard!~ There are not to many xb's around where I live so I got a glimpse of a Camo one the other day and he was probably laughing at me for stairing so hard!LOL~ I want my Box now!!!~ :0)~ Tiffany~

Same here. I did have to go through a few dealers to find one who wouldn't play games, though.

It seems as though xBs are in somewhat shorter supply these days. Our local dealer is only displaying a "showroom queen", silver with a flame paint job.

The TCM 5 speed was in high demand when I finally got around to getting it. I called Satish at Dublin Toyota and he told me up to a 3 week wait, so I said OK. He called me 3 days later to come pick up my car. I went the next day, check in hand, filled out the paperwork, and off I went.

I put my deposit down on my xB from Dublin Toyota on Nov. 23 and they said it would come on the 26th. I was so excited and I called to go get it on Wed, but they said it wouldn't come until Dec. 2. It made me sad!!!! I have to wait almost a week. I want my box now!!!

Mine is supposed to be there Dec 2nd too and I sure hope it is because if I have to wait any longer I do not think I could stand it.~~~

hey crazyxbgurl,

did you see satish or prim when you bought your xB?

I've dealt w/ them for the past 12 years. Good peeps! And I know the guys in the parts dept since they used to work at Center Auto Parts in Oakland!
