Hello! Anyone know how long it takes once it is in transit? My dealer is showing the ETA is still pending. Thank you!

In our system, once the car is built, the āorderā for that vehicle gets assigned the VIN number, and the ābuild ETAā switches to āpendingā, and it stays that way for a little bit while they stage vehicles and make scheduling arrangements for transport, etc.Hello!

Once all the logistics are sorted out, the status will change again and show the dealership a new ālandingā date range which is when they could roughly expect the car to arrive at the store.
But to answer your question, with so many variables in play, its hard to approximate. The dates and status just change when they changeā¦ ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
My dealer is in Ithaca, NY; less than 300 miles from the factory. It came by truck all the way and it took 2 weeks. It went from status "pending transit" to just showing up at the dealer with no updates in between.Hey there, what you say makes a lot of sense.
I am waiting to pick up my Si. Honda website says "In transit" when i do a local inventory search. My salesman has given me the actual VIN and says it could arrive any day now but he has no idea on an approximate ETA. Question is, don't all dealers get the same kind of information from honda ? Like why would my salesman say it could arrive any day when Honda hasn't updates their status with an approximate ETA ? Or is that ETA not always published by Honda.
I am slightly concerned because I have lengthy travel plans and i would obviously want to pick up the car before i have to travel.
Having said that, what is more likely, the car reaching my dealership in a week or a month ? Located in Detroit area, Michigan if that helps. It's not very far from the Canada factory but who knows how the logistics all work
okay that helps a lot. I bet thatās whatās going to happen in my case. My salesman today said the same thing about the status showing āpending shipmentā but heās still adamant in that it could show up anytime.My dealer is in Ithaca, NY; less than 300 miles from the factory.

Two weeks starting from when the status changed to pending transitokay that helps a lot. I bet thatās whatās going to happen in my case. My salesman today said the same thing about the status showing āpending shipmentā but heās still adamant in that it could show up anytime.
when you say two weeks, whatās your reference for start of that two week period ? Is that when the build finished and it came off the assembly line ? Thanks again !
Alright. May be I need to find out the exact build date of mine. I donāt even know when it first went into āpending transitā. And still not sure why my salesman says it could arrive any day when on average itās been taking 2-3 weeks for people.My Si was built on 3/2 and changed to shipped on 3/5 with a delivery date of pending. My salesman told me it should arrive on 3/28 (to Las Vegas) about a week after it shipped. It ended up arriving a week early on 3/21.
Another couple of questions if anyone can chime in:Alright. May be I need to find out the exact build date of mine. I donāt even know when it first went into āpending transitā. And still not sure why my salesman says it could arrive any day when on average itās been taking 2-3 weeks for people.
