Delivery Time Frame
Can somebody please shed some light here...
i had ordered an 08 XB towards the end of July. Since I had pretty much opted for all (80%) the accessories available
The dealership told me that instead of the 1 week required to locate the car..they'd have to special order it from the land of the rising sun ..this way i could save on labor charges for fitting a couple of the accessories and would be available before Aug 22nd. The car arrived at port here at NJ sometime on Aug 7th. That is the last I heard about any change to the status of the car.
Is my wait justified . I didnt have to wait so long with my 4Runner which took at most 2 weeks to be delivered.

whoa....
it may be different because of the parts you ordered, but my xB took a week only because of how picky i was about the color. They DXed the car from another dealership. I had ordered on a Saturday, it was in by Tuesday, though the Nav system took another few days to get in.

What acc. did you order? Did you order some of them that are not available at the moment? I know some of them are backordered or waiting to be re-released.
If your dealer really wanted to sell the vehicle they could of worked with you on the labor charges for all those acc.

I also ordered one with a lot of accessories. I ordered on August 11th, and I'm still waiting. They've been trying to get the car from another dealer in the meantime, but without much luck. And if they manage to find it at another dealer, they'll then have to order the parts (though I assume that if I wait for the one coming in specifically for me, the parts that were ordered with that will already be on it).

Got mine yday!!
From giving the order on July 29th to yesterday..just short of 2 full months..i received my super white box..and man did the wait justify the product..
the spoilers and the TRD 19" wheels makes the car look too good to take it on the roads. The clutch and the differential makes for some real fun driving. Its almost as if the car is not a 4 cylinder slug..but a rocket..will post some pics over the weekend..
a question around the 19"..how do you think they'll hold upto a typlecal NY winter - 2 to 3 inches of the wet white stuff about 4 times a season?? I am thinking that i may need to put down some money on regular rims and tires..any thoughts?
Also other than downloading from the pioneer website, is there anyway to change the display color from the god-awful white/blue to the orange on the premium HU?
Thanks
