So I got a call from my salesman earlier this week asking me about a car that had just become available, that had everything I wanted except interior color. (I want gray not ivory) I turned it down and asked when my order would come. He didn't know but since this other car was coming in about a month, it could be another two months! That would put my total wait at 6-7 months.

At this point I let him know that my decision had become to wait for this car which might take another two months or to go with another vehicle. I let him know that since I placed my order my family now needed another car and that I had a road trip planned with a Prius (not my 93 Tercel). So our conversation ended with "I'll let you know if I decide to cancel my order."

Next day, I got a call that he had traded the ivory interior for a gray interior and my car will be here in 3-4 weeks!!! I'm ecstatic! Now comes all the insurance and financing details to wrap up

 

I took possession yesterday!! I love it! I've already gotten numerous compliments and the driving is so smooth. I'm completely enamoured.
Six months and two days, a long time but now it's worth it. Good luck to all who are still waiting.
