My order has been assigned to dealer allocation. How much longer before I get my car?
After 1 month and 2 weeks after I placed my order, today my dealer told me that my special order has been assigned to their allocation and should have exact build date this week when it shows up on their inventory. Does that mean my car will be built possibly starting next week? Just trying to figure out where in the process this would be. Based on information from others, I've noticed that it takes about a week for the car to be built and another week for it to be shipped.

With my order, the dealer received notification of the car being allocated to it. At that point the car had already been built and was awaiting shipping. It was 4 weeks shipping to the Port of New York and another 10 days for port preparation and shipping to my dealer.

Ordered 7/5
Order picked up 7/20
Car built 9/17
Delivery about late October/Early November
Of course I ended up cancelling the order in early October and going to a dealership about 100 miles away as they got one in stock of exactly what I wanted, plus a few extras (ML, VGRS, BSM).

I really hope this is the case with my order also. If that's the case that would put me in middle of December when I get my car! Thank for the info.

That time frame is ridiculous. Most of us had to wait about 3 months. Mine was:

Yeah, I mentioned getting another trim or options that were more available and they told me I can't cancel my special order. But if it's going to be build next week or even is built already then I can wait it out. My current car selling a lot quicker than expected has made the wait little more painful since I'm having to share my wife's car.

The only reason I got my car in 7 weeks was an allotment the dealer was going to get if I put a deposit on the car or not.

Not sure why it took so long to get the car once it hit the port. Guessing since it was a dealer allotment there was no priority set on the car once it hit the port. They had till the end of October for the dealer to get the car.

Yeah the issue I had with the local dealer was that they said there would be absolutely no RWD that weren't special orders in my region - and yet on a whim I called a dealership where I used to live and they had 6 coming in. One happened to be a F-Sport with the color scheme I wanted.

Just got update from my saleslady. Ordered on 8/26. Never got notification of build date.
Hope you're doing well!!! I finally got an update on your car. It is still in Japan. It is expected to leave this weekend and arrive at my LA port around 11/22-11/25. It is set for a very late November/early December delivery!! Will keep you posted as I get more info!
