My wife ordered her new car in Dec. found out yesterday that a person who ordered an identical car had to wait 14 months. Hope she doesn't get to antsy and settles for car she'll keep for a real short time. She's driving my station wagon which she hates. I can't drive due to my back surgery recovery.
You didn't specify make and model but I do know some (or all) domestic manufacturers are prioritizing dealer special orders over all others (meaning fleet orders from car rental companies).
The Admiral wacked her SL, she's ordered a 2022 E class Cabriolet -4 matic--she hates driving my wagon--"its not her" Also, the main reason we get Benz's are for safety--they are top performers in the ENCAP crash tests
