- no use. the car will take 2 months to be here once I order it -- nm - marcel May 8, 11:16 20
  - Geez. Is that how your car buying system works? You just have to order them. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 8, 11:19 19
    - it's called Just In Time production. Once I order, it's built the way I want it -- nm - marcel May 8, 11:22 18
      - "Just in Time" is ironic way to describe a process that means you wait 2 months for the thing you're buying. -- nm - mara May 8, 11:25 16
        
        well thats not 100% just in time by Toyota's own definitions - Danedukenuuk May 8, 11:27 6
        
        In the US you just take the car off the lot the same day. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 8, 11:29 5

        One reason they are doing crappy is because they have crappy residual value. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 8, 11:33 1
        
        JIT is a money saver and the higher price your product had the more you save - Danedukenuuk May 8, 11:36
        
        actually I prefer that to buying a car that is not 100% what i want and has been sitting around for months in a lot -- nm - marcel May 8, 11:27 8
        
        2 months is too long 48 houers is more reasonable -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 8, 11:28 7
        
        production is one thing, getting it to me another. we don't make cars in Switzerland anymore -- nm - marcel May 8, 11:29 6
