I totally understand your situation. I'm in the same but surprised you even got a time frame. Both my dealer and Scion Canada don't have any defined time frames for orders.

After I called them today Scion Canada mentioned that there should be an "up to 4 month" wait for an FRS; noting that this usually does not happen to orders.

Unfortunately dealers do not say the same time frame. Hmmm..maybe because they want to get your order and just hold your deposit? I have no ETA officially and only a status that it is in production.

I was on a waiting list, 8 weeks passed, and now i'm on another waiting list and another 8 weeks shall pass. Point being the dealership made an error in my order. On top of that, I had to call them and ask them "what's going on?" As opposed to them simply notifying me!

There has been one on the lot for 4 weeks here now. Firestorm/manual. Not sure what the issue is but they've taken off the "featured" stand and put it with all the other Scions.

Far from it, but definitely blessed with a great family. I'd say I worked my fair share of hours in the trades to get what I want.

Anywho, thanks for all your input and reassurance! I guess it's good that I'll be getting it with its issues solved. But 16 weeks is killer! Definitely not picking her up in the Winter.

I have the same experience too. I've actually been waiting for longer - since July 5th and was promised End of Aug to mid-Sept delivery. I'm not pleased with the purchasing experience - especially since its my first new car ( I usually buy used).

I have been calling myself to get updates. My dealer has only called me once since placing the order.:barf:

That's just what we call a shitty dealer. It sucks, but there's nothing you can really do about it short of placing your order with someone else.

Not really. Dealership have no control of when the cars arrive they only have a estimated date according to a GM of my dealership

if it makes you feel better mine was delayed by 2 weeks and then sold to someone else (I was suppose to be the 1st one to get a Ultramarie since I was number 2 on the pre-order list with #1 being a Whiteout) and lied to me about it.

Quit being so insufferable then.

I ordered mine in April and just got the notification early this month that they were building it. Now it's somewhere in the US, just not sure where, I'm still waiting on it to be delivered. A 5 month wait sucks, I'll tell you that.

ahhhh! but when you pick the "fruit" after the growing period!
sooo sweet! hmmm! worth the aggravation! ahhh! almost as good as getting a little!
just sayin'

Well I'm sad to hear that this happens often, yet glad to hear i'm not the only one! Good luck to you sir, hope the new car experience goes well for you.

Definitely doesn't make me feel better, sorry to hear about your situation! It seems like the demand is killing the distributors. I hope you've received your car now?

I'm quite sorry that my arrogance bothers you.
