The 2005 GX470 Waiting Game
Let's get this GX470 forum up and running again with activity!
After all the anticipation of the new 2005 GX, we all seem to be in a holding pattern at this time and have nothing new to add, since we are just waiting for our 2005s to come in!
I have a January 10th or sooner delivery date at this moment for my Black / Ivory GX470 and I tell you it's still only a couple of weeks out, but the waiting is driving me nuts! However again it's only a couple of weeks out and I am waiting for the color that I originally wanted, so it's well worth the wait!
I've mentioned this before to my other fellow members in this forum, that I at least think about my GX a couple times a day, HOPING that my sales person will call each day to tell me that it arrived early or WANTING to call my sales person several times a day just to check if it came in early! Then I realize how the heck am I getting anything done in my daily life? Did I forget to eat, forget to sleep, forget to take the dogs out during all of this? Notice how I am typing this from work too!
The wait continues.......

Lexguy,
I have to ask you, how old are you. I'm 43 and I still get the same way as you after ordering a vehicle. It's the only thing I can think of until it gets here.
Where in Jersey are you? My sister lives in North Caldwell (home of Tony Soprano). It's beautiful out there.

LOL! I hear ya lexguy!My sales guy is assuring me that the vehicles will arrive next week. I need to get it done by the end of the year for the tax reasons. Since the first wave haven't hit here in the midwest yet he has had a difficult time finding exactly what I wanted. However, it looks like I may be getting one loaded w/sport package. I think about it everyday too - when I get in the car!

I'm in/on the same boat!
I think mine is in the same shipment. Dealer says I should have it 1/15. Mine is in Bound Brook NJ and I took everyones advice and went for the color etc that I wanted.
I have developed a unique way of taking my mind off the wait for the GX. I also just purchased a 45" LCD flat panel television - which is backordered - and so I am really like a kid before Christmas waiting for all my new toys to arrive.
Happy Holidays everyone!
