Wait time

Can you guys tell what the wait time can be.
It's only been about 2 weeks, but i'm just tryin to get my mind set on how long it could be. I dont want to get on one of those orphan lists at the dealership. I want what I ordered...so break it to me gently....how long am I really going to wait

I ordered it in Edison NJ and havent heard from anyone else who ordered from there how long they waited
Thanks

Get on the list~!

Joey, get on the orphan list. What you ordered may just well show up as someone else's car. With only a few colors and limited options many of the same cars show up. When I was at my dealers last month, they had 3 white coupes, a silver coupe and two cabrios (red & Black) just waiting for the buyers to come and get 'em. And one of them was tricked out just like what I ordered . . . 'cept it wasn't an orphan.
You just never know . . . lightning may strike!
Good luck!
Oh yeah, I reserved in April. My DDE is May - July 2009. Still 10 - 12 months from now. I'm hoping for an orphan.

I reserved 5/6/08and my estimated delivery date range is oct '09-dec'09.My best advise is to take up drinking-it will make the wait seem more enjoyable.

Yes, get on the orphan list. I ordered a very specific car with every option and knew I could not accept anything else. Well, wouldn't you know, there was one on the showroom floor that someone else had ordered, right down to the color. I asked about buying that one, and about two weeks later, once they got a car to replace the one on the showroom floor, I had my baby! The car I originally ordered has still not arrived, nearly four weeks later. It's somewhere on the Atlantic. I LOVE my baby, Li'l Bean!

I picked up a orphan Cabrio with every option. They said 14 mths if I waited.
That would be like telling me I can't eat for 14 mths! Couldn't happen!
