From "In Production" to Delivery.....how Long?

Ordered car on 3.14 and it went into production on 3.22................anyone have an idea when I might see the car at the dealer. I'm being told 8-10 weeks is standard but sometimes it could be less.......somewhere in the 5-6 week range or 6-8 week range is "possible". So I'm at a loss as to when the thing might actually make it to the dealership.

I'd like to have a better sense since I'm selling my car and would like to minimize the wait time if possible.

THANKS

Your question will probably be easier to answer if we knew where the hell you were.... Do us a favor and put your location and the car you will soon be driving in your profile.... Cars on the eastcoast will be delivered about two weeks sooner than one on the westcoast...

My Rule of thumb ****eyed formula... 24 hours to build the car. A day to test/repair anything not right. 10 days waiting around the factory lot waiting for a shipment to be put together. Then a week at the Eurpoean dock. 8 days at sea in nice weather. 3 - 4 days at the POE. A week on the trucks. 1 day prep & roll at the dealer.

These ar not "real" tasks/times, but I figured out my car's delivery date within 3 days way back in Dec 03. (East Coast Delivery)
