JAG Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Ordered my Jouney through a leasing company for work. They said 6-8 weeks, it's been 6 weeks and the are still waiting on a production date. Just curious what te average time you guys are seeing.

Teambedlam Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 It took four weeks to get to a confirmed order © an additional week to get to to level (D) which is an order scheduled for production and an VIN assigned level D1 took an additional week and a half. My car should be on a train by Monday which puts it at 8 weeks from ordering to being fully built. That's not bad considering the factory was shut down over Christmas. If you are at six weeks then it shouldn't be long till you get to the next level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briando Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I waited five weeks for a confirmation, then my Journey got stuck on a rail spur for another three weeks after it was done. I was pretty peaved, but i still love it. The wait was long, but i'll own it longer than i waited for it, so i guess it all works out.

JAG Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Thanks for the replys. I was hoping for around 8 weeks. I didn't expect my current car to sell so fast. I'll be car less in 2 weeks. Can't wait to get my Journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teambedlam Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 That's what happened to me. I listed my car and it sold in three days instead of the two weeks I figured it would. I am currently careless till mine arrives I feel your pain. Thanks for the replys. I was hoping for around 8 weeks. I didn't expect my current car to sell so fast. I'll be car less in 2 weeks. Can't wait to get my Journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generaltso Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Mine took 9 weeks from order to delivery. About 3 weeks of that was transit time from Toluca to Vermont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oleaver Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Order submitted to factory November 17. Shipped from factory December 21. Arrived at dealer January 10. And now my baby is sitting at the dealer lot waiting for me to pick her up. Only one more week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAG Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 No, I have not heard anything. The guy that is buying my car is not in a big hurry so at least I still have a car. Hope to hear something by the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerith Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Those are amazingly short waits!!! Compaire it to a 16 week wait for a diesel truck. One customer of mine didn't get his order taken for 8 weeks. Granted it is a R/T. But ouch. Feb 8th was the cutoff order date for April builds.

Paul Tevatron Graphene Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Ordered ours last week, Feb 5, we'll see if it takes 8 weeks to Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAG Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hope yours doesn't take as long as mine. It's been 10 weeks so far. It may be taking mine longer since I am going through a leasing company for work. Can't wait till it comes in though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigtsr Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Always an anxious time waiting for the new wheels, fortunately the one I bought was on the lot. The longest wait I have ever had was buying my '07 Caliber in April of '06 as I had to wait till middle of August '06 for delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Tevatron Graphene Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 According to VOTS my car was built in two weeks, but has been sitting at "final inspection status" for another two. My guess is its waiting on a train. Lulz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleO7 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I ordered mine Feb 2nd, 2012, its now June 14th, 2012, still not in my possession, however, I recieved notice that it is close, should be at the dealer next week (a one week futher delay by the brief rail strike in Canada). I am at 133 days as of today which works out to 4 months and 12 days. I think i have been more then patient. I ordered this vehicle in the winter, and now its mid model year and almost summer. I have already talked to the salesperson and informed him that there are people on this forum that have ordered in March and are already driving their Journeys, so I would like to know where the delay has occured. I remember there was one thread that said when the vehicle enters buld statur it can sit up to 60 days, If thats the case, then I can see that is out of the dealerships control, but if I find that the person who orders the vehicles, didn't put the order in for a few weeks after I signed the deal, I will be asking for some compensation. I had three possible private sales in May for my 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan and all have fallen through because, I couldn't tell them when the vehicle would be available. I was going to get considerably more then what the dealer would give me on a trade in, so I wanted to go that route. Now, if I can't find a buyer by next week, I will have no choice but to accept their offer. Now if my salesperson really believes in customer service, then he should go to bat for me, So we will be testing that out next week.
