Hey everyone.
I made the jump and ordered a i4 TLX! On top of being really excited, I'm also being impatient but perhaps you can help...

How long did it take for you to get your car delivered from order date?

I ordered 9/1 and was told that my car had an estimated build date between 9/29 and 10/3. What are delivery times to your area?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

 

Mine had build dates of 8/20-8/24 and was at the dealer on 9/6. So about 2 weeks from build to final delivery...
I'm in south Florida by the way

 

Mine was at the dealer a week after the build date - however I live a few hours away from Marysville so it didn't have far to travel once it was built.

 

I was told my car might not be here until the END of November.

 

What model and color combo did you order?

 

BWP/Expresso SH-AWD Advance.. ordered it in July.

 

You must be going nuts, I know I would be..

 

I sure don't like it but I can't do anything to speed it up. I don't know why it will be that long and can't get more info from dealer

 

I hear ya, and it really stinks that you can't get any more info.. When you ordered it in July what was the ETA?

 

Thanks everyone...and Stew, I hope they give you a black Friday deal for it or something.

 

Initial estimate was late October to early November. I got my hopes up when the SH-AWDs started showing up in dealers. We have several showing up in my area but are Tech models only.

EDIT: I just did a CARS.COM search and see there are quite a few SH-AWD Advance models out there in dealers.. hmmmmmm

 

Stew4HD, I'm in the same position as you are. We both ordered in July (although dealer said he couldn't place my order until August) and are still waiting. Mine is a AWD Advance GLM/Ebony, and it was supposed to be built 2 weeks ago, however that was pushed to this week. My salesman just called me and he told me my car has a reference number, which indicates to him that the VIN should be following shortly.

I compared what Cars.com showed for the AWD Advance and I did a search on Acura.com (used different zip codes) in Indiana, Ohio, lower Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky and St. Louis area and found there were probably dozens of the AWD Advance cars that weren't showing on Cars.com (although sadly not combination), so if you're really interesting in knowing if there are really others available, you might want to do an Acura search.

 

I just received a response from my dealer from my question to him about the # of Advance models showing on Cars.com.

It seems that cars are issued by "Zone" and no SH-AWD Advance models are in my Zone. 2 Black ones are due by the end of the month. Mine is the only white one on order in this Zone and has no date yet.

 

I don't think Acura is geared for individual orders. Brands that are let you track the car through the whole process with an 800 number or the internet from a few days after to make the deal.

 

The 'zone' statement Stew4HD's dealer remarked on is the same thing that mine told me. Distance from the Buckeye State affects distribution times. Fortunately, my local Acura dealer had a couple of V6 Advance's in a color combination I was amicable towards.


I guess I could have flown home to Ohio, and driven one back, if I had SH-AWD fever

 

Not that it will do any good, I sent Acura Customer Relations (ACR at AHM.ACURA.COM) an email to give them a piece of my mind about Zone allocations.
I asked them, "why Does Baton Rouge, 120 miles or so away, have SH-AWD Advance models but we don't?" Also, why would it take until the end of November to send those cars to my Zone?

This has me on a bit the fence of buying this car or not. I let ACR know this as well...

...not that it will do any good writing to them but I felt a little better venting! I fully expect a "We're sorry for any inconvenience this may have cause you.. blah, blah, blah.." response
