Has anyone gotten any good news on the arrival of their late car yet?

zaptorque · 10-16-2012, 04:06 PM

Mine is hitting the port in Houston on Friday, will be be at the dealer in OK a few days later, and then I'll fly up from Austin to pick it up

I got lucky as the dealer I am purchasing from had a Tundra that another dealer wanted so they did a swap.

Comes with the protective coat and BeSpoke upgrade which I wasn't really set on getting, but beggars can't be choosers!

Last time I heard anything I was told that the cars were being held at the processing center for a quality issue. That was probably two weeks ago though.

The last I heard mine won't be leaving Japan until Nov unless it catches the 1st ship at the end of this month. So far it seems like it's going to be Nov on ship #2. Estimated to arrive to the San Diego Area around Thanksgiving. Been waiting since the start of June but I wanted only Ultramarine and no other colors so I knew the wait was going to be long. Especially if their holding cars for QAing which I don't mind either.

I ordered mine in April, picking her up on Thursday!! I'm doing a special toyota Company Lease program that's why it has taken sooo long. They limited the program to recieve only 10 a month. Gigiddy

Me too. I ordered in April, towards the end so my car didn't go in until the May order. I still don't know when I'll be picking mine up though. Congrats!

Ordered mine early September, supposed to be at the dealership this week. Mine was held up at the port also due to some issue they were trying to figure out. Can't wait!

Almost got Raven, but I've always been partial to orange exotics, so when I saw this car had one, I had to get Hot Lava.

According to my sales man mine was at port waiting to be shipped on the 10th said it takes a fast ship 10 days to get here so yea should hit port with the latest shipment hot lava 6mt

you guys on the left coast (san diego) are lucky! you can be patient because you are NOT dealing with white rain,or ice,so it don't really matter!

My car is due to dealer at this friday and I am going to pick her up at Saturday I CANT WAIT

Cade01 · 10-16-2012, 11:09 PM

I've been waiting on my Whiteout MT to get here for a while, it is the only color I wanted so I guess it was to be expected. I ordered in September and it is currently in Japan being built and is supposed to be here around the 22nd of November... It is taking forever!

TTGT · 10-16-2012, 11:40 PM

Picking up my WhiteOut MT tomorrow!!!!
Been at dealer since Monday. Have to drive 2xx miles to pick up
