I have no idea how long it takes to make the car, how long it takes to get here from Japan, where the car currently is, or what I can do with the shipping number.

The printout has no VIN? There must be a reason. Perhaps they do a complete vehicle check before they release it to Retail for sale. But if it was built in April, it should be here soon. It takes 1-2 weeks for a vehicle to be staged in Japan and then loaded onto a ship. About a week to make it to the USA, and another week or so depending on the final destination. You'll have your vehicle sometime between now and the 2nd week of June, depending on when in April it was built. Relax. Have a smoke.

Thats why I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and giving them till the end of May, which is exactly 3 months. I just counted and its the 13th week since I placed my order.

The printout looks like it was fabricated on the spot too, just to stop me from bothering them.

That plus they way the kept the VIN a secret and their business practices really makes me nervous about the whole situation.
