I think the question was how log from "en route". It depends where you are in the country. The ship takes less than a week to get to the east cost, add a couple of days processing and then trucking time. I was driving my car in FL less than two weeks after in entered the "en route" state. I expect it is much longer if you are on the west coast.

I'm also in VA. (Where did you order from?) I ordered 7/24 went into production 8/11 and was aboard the faust 8/20 Docked in NY 8/30. Car was at crown mini 9/4. Took delivery 9/8. So you are looking at 2-3 weeks.

For me, I took delivery 12 weeks to the day that I placed my order.

If you want to know how long it will take to get one in your area, ask your MA. They know of any wait lists, how many available order slots they have, and how long it takes to get to them on average. He/She should be able to give a decent estimate as to how long it will take.

In regards to shipping time, I believe the East Coast averages about 9-12 days at sea while the West Coast is approximately 21 days depending on any delays at the Panama Canal.

Mine is going to end up being about 3 months +/- wait. Time flew by though. Doesn't even seem like 3 weeks to me so far (nearly been 3 months).
