How long does it take to order a car?

You should be able to order 03 models as late as July. I had a 01 on order 2 years ago and I placed my order in mid July.

I think 6 weeks is right on. Once you place your order, you should get a VIN # for your car in a week or two. After you have a VIN #, all that's left is for the factory to build it and ship it.

I used to have a 1-800 # that was listed on www.blueovalnews.com . If you know your dealer's code, you can call the # and it will give you updates on your car. i.e. when a VIN will be given, when the build date is, when the ship date is, when the arrival date is, etc. My dealer didn't give me any updates when I ordered my car so I called him and asked for his dealer code. Once he gave me that, I could get all the information I wanted. That 1-800 # should be on blueovalnews somewhere. Try searching for it. It was a great help to me.

Don't worry about getting a different model year. They won't stop production on 03's for a few months still. Your dealer is blowing smoke.
