How long was your wait?

I waited notta, because my kick ass saleswoman held every white scion they were allocated until I FINALLY got my job offer.

But really , it depends on where you are and what your ordered. I was told today that a manual with SAB would take over 2 months today. :/

I waited about an hour because thats how long it took to fill out the paper work.

^^^ we got you covered.

My wait was only two days long, but it sucked badly 'cause I accidentally sold my car before I ordered my tC. *shock* Fortunately for me, I lucked out and my dealer randomly got in a Flint Mica tC two days later...

I waited 6 weeks until I got "the call" that it was in. The dealership couldn't tell me an estimated delivery time, just "sometime in September.. maybe.." and one day it arrived.

Why is that? I can track a small envelope sent by the post office all the way across the country, but Scion couldn't tell me when a large $16,000 automobile was scheduled to arrive in NY? Seems kinda silly, unless there's some kind of pecking order between LA and NYC.

dealers really dont have easy access to exact wherabouts of any car. all we know is what status it is in and a rough idea of when it should arrive. and then again some dealers a stupid too.

I ordered mine on Sept. 18th & it arrived at port today according to my dealer.

I only waited one week. But thats only because some one else in front of me bailed out of the car.
i guess i got lucky

yes... yes, you did.

hey welcome to the site.. yeah my wait? 4 weeks exactly.. i've heard it's longer now.. like 6 weeks.. guess waiting lists are pretty long.. but hang in there.. it's worth the wait! nothing else out there compares!

It took 6 weeks for mine: Indigo Ink Pearl, 5 speed, side air bags, floor mats.

I spoke to someone at Kearny Mesa Toyota yesterday who told me their wait is 4-6 MONTHS for a manual transmission. I put an order in at another San Diego county dealer 5 weeks ago, and they don't even have anything on the horizon yet (they told me it would be about 3 weeks between allocation and delivery), so I know it will be at least 3 more weeks. I tried calling around to a few other dealers in So Cal, and one told me they had what I was looking for at the port, but they would only sell it to me after the port installed ground effects and fog lights. Isn't it hard enough to buy this car, without the dealers making it harder by ordering cars with the options THEY want, instead of ordering them stock, so we can buy the options WE want?

We bought ours in mid-July and at the time, if you weren't fussy about color and transmission, you could walk in and buy one that day (at least at the two dealerships we were at within a week's time).

We have a 5spd Black Cherry and it was the only one on the lot. In fact, after our test drive, we went in and started the paperwork, while - unbeknownst to us - someone else went out in our car, test-drove it and came in planning to buy it. Our transaction was already well underway by the time they came back and fortunately, the other guy was happy to take a silver 5spd home that day.

Hubby went back later and had the boombox put in, but other than that, we pretty much skipped the options. We intentionally bought at a dealership that didn't "preinstall" the spoiler, the sticker on the back, etc.
