My order has been assigned to dealer allocation. How much longer before I get my car?

As far as I know, the dealer does not get the car added to its allocation until the car is actually built and ready for shipment. Until then, there is only a confirmation of an order until the build week comes along then the dealer gets the build week notification. If a special order has already been added to an allocation, there must have been one coming off the assembly line identical but not yet assigned.

Everytime I see or read about your wait I just cringe. I mean 5 months is a long time to wait for a car. Even when I take into consideration that you may have been on the front end of production, it is still a long time. I say this as I am into month 4 of my wait!

All I can say is that it was definitely worth the wait. I would have not been happy taking a car that was AWD and without the options I wanted.

How is your car? Did you upload some pictures?

I do not intend on driving it in the winter unless the ground is dry. The car itself is amazing. It is so very different from my '08 IS 350 RWD. I will upload pics over the weekend.

Depending on the summer tire, there is usually an ambient temperature below which driving is not recommended

That's also the time frame I was told by my dealer lol. Looks like our cars might end up on the same ship. I just hope I will get it before Christmas.

I just got word my car is on a ship heading for what I think will be Jacksonville, FL. Scheduled to arrive at port on 12/2 and to the dealer 7 to 10 days later. Ordered on August 3rd.
