E.T.T.D.?

I just ordered my TL w/ Navi a week and a half ago.

For those of you that ordered an '04TL and actually waited for it to arrive, how long was it between your order date and when the TL arrived at the dealership (Estimated Time To Delivery)?

Am I being impatient?

Heyyy! That's cheating!

Based upon my color selection (Desert Mist w/ Parchment), I doubt that I'll get that option.

rets - You're scaring me! But, I bet your number is more accurate.

I think that my color selections are going to keep me from seeing it anytime soon.

#1: Desert Mist w/ Parchment
#2: Dark Green w/ Parchment or Camel
#3: Redondo Red w/ Parchment or Camel

I don't think that any of these colors are on the "most popular list", based on what I've seen in the forums.

I believe you desijatt - My heart will probably explode while I'm waiting for it to arrive!

Sorry to scare off all of you. I was pre-order on September, and I picked up what I like from their allocation list. The color combo I like to have, the first Green/Parchment/Navi is only available after middle of Oct.

Wish you could get the great car without any issues we have posted here.



desijatt, I know you're working too hard to drive your own car back from the long-distance dealer...

Patience? I'll give you patience.

Ordered Red/Ebony/Navi over Thanksgiving weekend. Delivery scheduled for late Feb. I'm not getting impatient, I'm getting suicidal.:banghead:

I was told that mine won't be in until mid-March. The only positive thing about that is that maybe (just maybe) I'll get the most recent update to the Navi database that's due out in February.

I was hoping that some of the responses to this thread would show me that the dealer's estimate was off-base. Now, I'm hoping that the estimate isn't off-base in the wrong direction.

This sux! I guess I'm a true American ... I want instant gratification, and I want it NOW!

I ordered mine on 11/22, I was told then that it will be a special order because of the color combinations + 6-speed + Navi. I am expecting mid-Feb delivery, so it is like 3-months for me.

They later told me that they can do a dealer swap and get it earlier, but I want it to be built after the X'mas/New_Year shutdown, in case there will any improvements/changes to the electronics/tires.

Z Factor - was yours a Dealer Swap? I'm mostly interested in the "Order -> Build -> Delivery" timeframe.

If you already know your build date, you probably will get it after 5-15 business days after that.

I was told by ACS that the Navi update is for the older systems that are not voice controlled. I have a 2003 TL w/Navi and they told me it updates the roads/highways and increases the POI's from 3 million to 7 million. According to ACS, all the 2004 Acuras l have the latest version of the Navi DVD.
