Anyway, today went easier than I thought it would. As soon as they saw me they told me the vin number is available and gave it to me.

The problem? "Its almost at Vancouver and will take another 2 weeks or so to reach Toronto".

Nothing I can do but wait, at least I got the VIN number so the car is sorta locked up for me.

took me 4 months to receive the roadster, also special order from Japan.


However, I got the VIN number about a 2 months after.

The "no-VIN on special order" is a complete BS though.


The thing is:

When you place the order at the dealership, the dealer cannot place the order right away to the factory in Japan.

The don't send single order to Japan.

Instead, they group all the special orders together and place them at certain date each month.

So, depends the timing, if you are lucky then they place the order the next day, otherwise they won't place the order til another 2 to 3 weeks.

After the factory in Japan received the order, they won't process it right away too, thus there's another wait..


After the car arrived Vancouver, it will take about 3 weeks to arrive Toronto, they transfer the inventory by train.

BTW, care to tell us which dealership in Toronto are you dealing with?


Good Luck
