dealers are in a long line to get a car built. some of them are in line to have a car built for months before someone buys the car, so they are already almost to the end of the line, thus not needing to wait the full 3 or so months for it to be built. Others get in line after you order, so you have a full 3 or so months to wait.

some dealers will "Trade", if one dealer has a car about to be built but nobody purchased it yet, he can "trade" that spot so you can get your car built asap. possibly they'll trade it for another car your dealership has on the lot, or for the "almost next in line" car to be built of another type (i.e. maxima?)

hope that makes sense haha, im tired!

and FYI, I purchased my car June 1st 2009, received it September 11th 2009

I think that trade thing is what they did for for mine. I ordered mine Feb 23 i think, factory order march 3rd. (late may or early june delivery) when should i be getting my VIN?

We ordered ours may 15th of 09 and missed the cut off for an 09 by a couple of weeks. So just over seeeeeeeven months later, just 8 days before Xmas, we took delivery of a 2010. Let me tell you, that was a long wait, especially when the good weather passes by only to give way to rain and snow

. Trust me the wait is worth it.

I know that mine was a trade as well. My dealer used up all of their allotted spaces so they did something with a phoenix dealer to get mine ordered.

I got my VIN number 1.5 months into the ordeal.

It takes ~6 weeks to ship overseas, so that's half the waiting time right there.
