I ordered July 23. Estimated Delivery Date: Oct 15. -sigh-

I'd bet you'll see yours sooner than Dec.

Ordered around August 4th, was finished with production around Sept 3rd, arrived at Southampton port on the 5th, shipped on the 8th, landed at Charleston on the 21st, scheduled for delivery on the 27th so I should get it sometime this week.

Delivery seems to average about eight weeks for cars delivered through the East Coast, but if yours is getting shipped to CA first, you may have to add a week or two. The wait is tedious, but worth it! We just received ours Friday evening and I have already forgotten the wait .

I ordered on July 18, the car was at the dealer August 22, and I took possession on August 29. (Yes, I had to wait. I had dealer-installed items, plus I bought out of state and had to take vacation time). But a very fast turn around, almost sooner than expected. I barely got my old car sold in time.


Just be patient, and amuse yourself by hanging out here and at the Owner's Lounge!

I am still waiting for the check from the sale of my old car to clear the bank. Then I can write the deposit payment to D&R... I hope to get MIB before 2006!
