Imo that's probably a long wait unless there is actual delays but i would request my money back and look at another dealer that actually has that vehicle in stock.
How long does "in-transit" take?
I put a deposit down on a 2016 Civic EX-L on 12/24. At that time, the dealer said the car was listed as being in their inventory, but was "in-transit." The VIN number denotes it to be from the Indiana factory.
Today (1/2) the dealer says the car has been on their inventory now for 12 days, but has not arrived and Honda says it is still "in-transit."
Does that sound right? (Yeah, I know, the salesman's lips were moving.)
IMO, it doesn't take 9-12 days for a truck to get from Indianna to Central Florida, even with the holiday period.

It almost certainly is not going by truck the whole way. By train probably to somewhere in N Central FL, then by truck to the dealer when there are enough cars rounded up going to that dealer or dealers in the vicinity. 9-12 days does not seem at all shocking to me. Weather en-route, queuing time at each step of the way, etc. This is not like UPS from Amazon. Or like a Mercedes-Benz S Class.it doesn't take 9-12 days for a truck to get from Indianna to Central Florida, even with the holiday period.
Not many EX-Ls here in Central Florida. I checked online inventories at ~9 dealers and each had only 1-3 of them. None of them had the ext/int color combination that I want. My dealer keeps reminding me that he is the only one in the state of Florida that has the car I want.Imo that's probably a long wait unless there is actual delays but i would request my money back and look at another dealer that actually has that vehicle in stock.
Problem is, he doesn't really have it -- yet.
Okay -- I'll give it a few more days. Thanks.It almost certainly is not going by truck the whole way.

The wait will be worth it when your car arrives with all of the functions you wanted.
The dealer did receive the car on 1/4. It probably went by train from Indiana to Jacksonville, then by truck.
We took delivery that day. I really like it so far.
