yea, next to the californians and whosthatrussian, I think I've waited the longest. I started talking with one dealer at the end of july. They said they had a 5-speed flint mica coming in on the next ship...would take about a week or so to get from the ship, to the port, to atlanta. yea right! I don't know what they were smoking, because three weeks later, the car had still not left port and the dealer finally notified me that the dash had been broken and they were waiting for a replacement part to come from Japan. At that point I was so sick of being fed lies that I ended up telling them to try and keep my business. The best that they could do was to get me my third choice color in mid-september. bye bye, see ya later. I got my deposit back and went to another dealer. Everything seemed to work out great there. Same dream car that I was supposed to get from the first dealer and it was already at port...just had to be released and driven to GA. Well, the next day I get a call from my salesman saying that unfortunately, that exact car had been dealer traded only a couple hours earlier and it just hadn't registered in their system. ahhhhhhh! so, long story made even longer...I've been waiting for a flint mica automatic (yea, I know) for the past two and a half weeks. Luckily the hurrican (francis) came through florida (the location of the port) about when my car was supposed to be put on a truck to be delivered. So the 99% sure delivery date of september 7th was off. All in all I've been in the market trying to buy a tC since the end of july, and I'm still not sure when my damn, ahem, beautiful car will arrive. I hope nobody else had to deal with the same mess that I've dealt with. Oh, and hurrican Charlie ruined the deliver of the very original tC that I was supposed to get from the first dealer. Extra tid-bit that makes me hate hurricanes more and more...
