What was the longest anyone waited for their S4?
I have waited 3 months so far and it seems like it going to be another 2 or 3 more months. Thanks for all input!

About 3 1/2 months could have been 5 months. (more - long)
Back on 10/28/99 I ordered a Black/Onyx S4 from Bill Cook with the understanding that delivery would be late February to early March. I had to leave a $1000 deposit since that is their minimum required deposit. In December I was told that my S4 was going to be built in January. I didn't want to harass the Sales Rep. at Bill Cook by calling everyday, so in January I asked the Sales Rep. to let me know of any status changes on my order. On 2/10/00 someone posted Fred Lavery had a Pearl White S4 available. Since I knew the Pearl White is a special order, I really wanted to have an S4 ASAP, and the Sales Rep. at Bill Cook had not informed me yet that the car had even been built, I called Fred Lavery. I talked to a Rick at Fred Lavery and yes the car was available and it has the exact same options that I had ordered. After I explained my situation to Rick, I asked if I could come in that night and look at it. Rick tagged the car with my name just in case. I looked at it and my only question was "What do I have to do to get this one instead of the one I ordered at Bill Cook". Rick explained to me what I needed to do to get my deposit back from Bill Cook. (I did not like doing it that way, but I did pick it up on 2/11/00.) Rick would not take a deposit from me. (The most Fred Lavery would take for a deposit is $500.) We agreed on 2/17/00 since I had to deal with the loan paperwork. I picked it up on 2/17/00 as planned and I love driving the S4. It was just a small change from the '87 Lincoln Town Car I was driving. While I was at Fred Lavery on 2/10/00, they sold the only other one they had in stock (Imola Yellow). Good thing Rick put my name on the Pearl White.
I understand that the Black/Onyx that I initially ordered arrived in early April. So had I actually waited for the Black/Onyx, I would have waited about 5 months.<p>Brett Gissel

I ordered my S4 Jan. 29th.
It was delivered to dealer yesterday April 13th.
That's 2.5 months.
Everything but cell phone.
silver with black / silver alc
Dealer kept me informed on progress all the way through.
I pick it up Monday noon. Can't wait.<p>Rich
