He says that the system still shows it as "A" status for Allocation, and that it usually takes 1-3 months to get here after you put the order in for a vehicle in that state.
I asked them to modify the build to include the TRD wheels, and looks like they were able to do that in the system, so I'm assuming that means it's currently in that "headed to production" stage?
The dealer is also telling me that it may take a long time because it's coming from Japan. But from what I've been reading... aren't they already built, but get the TRD parts assembled by the US TRD? If that's so... shouldn't they already be in the US, and therefore, we shouldn't need to worry about customs and such? Ultimately, I guess the cars still "come" from Japan which is why I think my dealer is saying that, but if TRD is modifying them in the US, then I hope it gets here much faster than my dealer says  |
At the end of July, my dealer sent me an e-mail they got from Scion with what numbers would be allocated to the region. Somehow, I'm in the Cincinnati Region? Which will be getting cars numbered from 81 to 141. Only 60 cars are allotted to each region which I thought was interesting. I kinda wish they did it buy when you put in your orders... but oh well.
Your dealer seems to know a lot more than mine. I kept asking them for info before and after this e-mail I got from them and they knew very little.
