Leggup Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I ordered a Legacy GT Limited Wagon w/ manual (hence the need to order) over 3 weeks ago and now I am being told it will be another 4-5 weeks before I get my new ride. The excuse was there is not much demand for a manual wagon and the factory keeps pushing back production. Sounds like a load of BS to me. Has anyone else had this same experience? What are the chances the dealer actually recieved my car and sold it to a higher bidder? Needless to say I am pissed off. Anyone else had this kind of problem?

SUBE555 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 It took about 7 weeks for mine to come in. Be patient Leggup, I had to be. Dr. Zevil and I ordered on the same date and his has still yet to arrive, basically just a Limited version of mine, same as yours. It's new, as things get back in rythem and orders get caught up, I'm sure lead times will diminish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bemani Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 It took 8 weeks for my order to arrive, I think its about the same for quite a few people here also. Don't think its really a 'problem'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deer Killer Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I ordered a sedan, it was supposed to be here this weekend but now I'm told "a few weeks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken S Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 It's typically 6 weeks from the time Subaru cuts off orders for a given month, usually sometime in the last week of a month. Add any time prior to that for when you placed your order and you should have a reasonable estimate. Also, keep in mind that SIA is shutting down for two weeks for an overhaul, I believe this month. I think the manual wagon story is just an excuse for not knowing anything better. I ordered a 5EAT wagon and it took about 7 weeks too.

UrQ Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I ordered mine exactly a month ago, dealer says 6-8 week and they still don't have a VIN number. Be patient, I'm sure it will be worth the wait. Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agctr Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Well in Oz it can be a bit longer as the sedan GT has been as popular as the Estate. If I was to order mine now, it would take anywhere between 8-12 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccorry Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I am about 1.5 weeks into my wait. Plan on calling the dealer on Friday to check in. I was told ~6 weeks for delivery. VIP got me the car for invoice.... even with ordering it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSattler Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 When I bought my Legacy GT Limited wagon with a manual there was one in the entire Baltimore area, and none on the computer listed as arriving within the next couple of weeks. Dealership had to trade another dealer for it. In the month I've had it the dealership hasn't had another manual limited wagon yet. So it may be true.

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Ordering is the best way to get a good price- they barely have to worry about the car hanging around and it's sold. Also, my car came in about 3.5 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orpie_lightfoot Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 The VIN is something the dealer should probably have as soon as they order a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inthedeck Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I just got a VON number today...not even a VIN. I also got a control number, and code number (whatever those are). Anyway, I ordered a new LGT sedan on July 12th...almost a month ago...and still NO idea as to when it will be delivered. It would be nice if the dealer/salesman would actually call once in a while, to keep me updated...but I suppose they really don't care, once the initial sales order has been written. good luck, i.

Dr. Zevil Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I waited for 2 months.. ...well worth the wait. You are probably just dealing with some :monkey: dealers. Just be patient. You will love it when you get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthedeck Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 man, I feel your pain. Meanwhile, I was speaking to the salesman, and all he had to say was...well, we are still waiting, blah blah, and by the way, I took one of the cars home for the weekend, and BOY was the thing fast...and it sticks to the road...etc.etc. Man, it's bad enough that I haven't received my car, but to throw salt upon injury is not my idea of FUN!!! :evil: Oh well, guess I will have to wait another couple of weeks. later, i.

skubdu Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I ordered my sedan GT 3 weeks ago and I'm picking it up tomorrow. I got lucky, they were mentioning something about their allocation for the month that I could get it soon if its available. They were giving me priority they said, beacause this is the third subaru being bought from them in a span of a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalGT Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 SoA and the dealers really should provide people with a means to track the progress of their custom vehicle. With todays online world it's not that tough to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
