I'm not sold. Not one person on this site has said any special order has taken that little time to arrive. Just saying!

I ordered mine in May and it is not due to arrive until October. 3 months is the minimum depending on the option combination.

Finally some good news. My car has been built and it will be shipping from Japan on September 18. I am told that I will finally have it mid October. 5 months is a long time to wait but it will be worth it to have the car the way I want it.

I hope it does as well. Knowing the car is just waiting to ship is deadly.

If you don't mind me asking, what did you order? That does seem like a long time. I have not seen anyone say anything about it taking that long. Five to six months!

If the dealer has a assigned allotment this could be one of their cars they were going to get at some point. If the dealer doesn't have an allotment then it is a special order and those take longer.

Not sure in this persons case. Just going by my case. I got the last one of this color combo coming to my local dealer.

I ordered a 350 RWD F-Sport Ultra White/Rioja Red with Nav/Mark Levinson, Blind Spot Monitor, VGRS, Rear Sunshade, Dynamic Radar Cruise.
It is probably the Radar Cruise that caused all the delay, if I had to guess.

Doubt that was it. Ordered the same car in June (different colors though) with PCS and picked it up tonight.

I was just speculating on the PCS. I guess that is not it. Who knows what the delay was.
