How Long

[ReCoRd TiMe]

From D1 status what is the estimated wait time?

I thought this was an endowment inquiry thread.


Anyhoo...


It was 2 months for me from D1 to delivery.

I think mine took 6 to 8 weeks. Yours may be faster since they may have worked out some of the issues by now. But d-1 is very good. It is coming!!!

Now the wait will increase as every hour you think about it arriving. Then you get on the forum and read about the guys having a blast. then you want to have it right away and can't wait any longer. then you read some of the classic first rides (a must for your viewing pleasure). Then you call your dealership again for the second time that day. Your dealer tells you BS because he doesn't know anything (excluding steve88 and a handful of sales guys who really do know) then you decide to stop thinking about it and try to get work done. You find out you can't do any other work and you still think about the car. So you get back on the forum and read some more posts to live vicariously through those of us that have already done the wait. Then you call your dealer... THEN finally he calls and says it is coming. Then you search for some of the really good posts which give you exacting details about what you should instruct your dealer when it does come in. (another must read). He thinks you are slightly insane, which by now you are. And then you WILL drive it home and have to wait the insane amount of time (each minute is torturous) to break it in the right way. (the right way does not mean babying it)

It is a terrible thing to wait. I have an enormous amount of sympathy for the guys who ordered them like some of us in January who still don't have them...

As it has been said a hundred times before - it is worth the wait!

Boy, do I know this feeling. My SRT-8 was built on May 27 and I'm paying more attention to train movements than I ever have since waiting for the Lionel under the Christmas tree when I was six years old! It's somewhere in the Catskills right now.
