Car is at the Dealer!
So, got a call today that our car had arrived earlier than expected - but having already set a "delivery date" of 5/16 - no chance of getting to take it home any sooner. Headed down to the dealership to finish up some paperwork earlier this afternoon and got a quick sneak-peek of the car! Has 7 miles on the odo, and it better stay that way for the next 2 weeks!

Why can't you take it home sooner? If it is your car that you put a deposit on, you should be able to take it home right away.

I would expect that once they have it, they would get it cleaned and PDI'd ASAP, and that I would take it home right after that.
When I ordered my Lexus, it arrived on Monday afternoon, and I picked it up Tuesday morning. I don't want it getting looked at/sat in by everyone their uncle before I get it. Obviously that quick of a timeline may not be possible, but for the car to sit at the dealership for 2 weeks, especially when it is something as in demand as the FR-S, people are going to be touching it and/or driving it. That's not cool with me. Jeff

Peking's came in with 7 or 8. I went w/ the Tech on the PDI Test drive (approx 5 miles). Our dealership drive from the front lot to rear lot is about 1/4 mile (no lie). After everything was said and done, 21 miles were on Peking's car. He was aware of every move though =P

Yeah, if there is a set delivery event or something I can see that. As long as the car isn't being excessively used during the waiting period.
I'd rather get the car and bring it back for some sort of an "event" instead though, lol. Jeff

It's funny how Canada gets nothing of the launch events, as far as I know anyways, all my dealer told me is that they're trying to get a big red carpet to put in the delivery garage to get a more epic delivery since I'm getting the very first one that's going to roll out of the garage! But other then having most of the employes in the garage for the occasion, there's nothing special, unless its a surprise party. ;p
