![Question](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I placed an order a week ago for a new 2012 IS F and am curious about the process.
How long from the order date did the car actually arrive at the dealer?
Did you get any sort of confirmation document of the order?
Does the dealer notify you that the car is being built?
Prior to the car arriving at port, can the dealer provide any ETA?
Any info is greatly appreciated.

Yes they gave me an eta to the port and also an eta to the dealership. Took mine about two months to get. I was lucky because one was in process already in Japan getting built to the color and options I wanted.

They were stating 3-4 months. However...your dealer should be able to contact the ship and tag a car. If you want a specific color, non-loaded F, etc., you may be looking at 3-4 months. My dealer tagged the car on way to the US. It took around 2-3 weeks before it was in my garage.
Did you get any sort of confirmation document of the order?
I just paid the downpayment and received the normal dealer paper, i.e., balance due.
Does the dealer notify you that the car is being built?
Can't answer this one as I snagged one from the ship.
Prior to the car arriving at port, can the dealer provide any ETA?
They can tell you when it will be in port. The rest is up to the union, weather, etc. I would expect to wait an additional 7-10 days before it is at the dealer.
Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for all the great info. I called the dealer and they were kind enough to provide the order documents. Interesting how it shows that they're exchanging this car for a CT 200H.
Here are my specs, for those experts out there who will know exactly what I'm getting:
Exterior: 08U1
Interior: 20
Factory Accessories [LP NL OS WO]

Yeup sounds like they gave up a CT allocation @ the factory, to put in your IS-F special order..
