Cool

My dealer told me shipment was about a week and then a week from port to dealer. It depends on how far your dealer is from the port. I'm sure you've got a port up there in NY so it should be pretty close whereas a lot of people in the midwest wait a couple weeks from port to dealer. Be patient, the end is near and you will be so happy in a couple of weeks. Congratulations!

Factory -> Port was about 4 weeks.

Port -> Dealer was 10 days, the closer you are to a port, the better (obviously).

Mine came in first thing one morning and I drove it off the lot 7pm that night.

MY 06 GX took 1 day to get from Port Newark to my dealer who is 165 miles away.

Default Special Order

I received word on mine that it had shipped (early May), arrived in Newark (Port) on the 19th or so, to Dealer Storage on the 22nd, then to the dealer (Manhattan) on the night of the 23rd, installed spoiler and sport pedals, picked it up Sat the 25th...so about a week.

I Dont Want To Give U Bad Advise But I Orderd My Is 350 On Feg 1st And Did
Not Have It Deliverd Until June The 9th
I Was Told It Was A Result Of My Color Interrior Color And Options
I Havent Talked To Anyone Else Whom Had Orderd My Color So
I Really Dont Know How Truthful That Is But The Time U Have To Wait
Makes The Car All That Much Better
I Would Also Suggest Buying It Not Leasing
