However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum.

Ew. Fingers crossed mine doesn't get pushed back... Have a great offer for my Pilot from Carvana that expires Dec 14 - really don't want to have to rent a vehicle after selling my Pilot before the Telluride arrives.

Crazier things have happened...There's probably a VIN, you just don't have it.

Certainly hope that's the case! The longer this drags on, the more chances I have to think about other vehicles 😬

Yeah yours will hopefully stay the same. My eta was pushed back as of last week, before Thanksgiving, so it’s likely you’ll be ok. Fingers crossed for you too!

I placed my order a day after sprengBoard changed his order and still have an ETA of 12/10. Failcat popped my VIN on 11/17. I hope its not delayed because my tires are nearly shot and it needs some minor maintenance but I'm going to limp into the dealership and trade it in as-is.
Fingers crossed for all of us our Tellys are not delayed!

Yep, similar situation here. My dear old Lexus ES is mechanically in great shape. But oh the poor thing is so embarrassing to drive. The paint was already fading years ago and we should’ve pressed Lexus to fix, but had many other health issues that were more important. Then last year, my dear husband was moving cars & his foot slipped off the brake onto the gas and hit the trash can that was thankfully behind my dad’s Infiniti. The trash can & the Lexus took the brunt of the impact. Ended up causing damage to the right light and bottom bumper. We knew we were going to replace my car, so I’ve been driving around in this awful mess for far too long. My power windows are also starting to fail. 🤪 We’ll be taking as-is price as well. Best of luck for your ETA too!

So I just found our Telly on FailCat! I don’t think I saw yours—since we have such similar orders. But that doesn’t mean anything….I’ve known others who have their Telluride but it never showed up in FailCat. Hope you get some good news this week to keep that ETA!

I got super excited when I saw those two ES/Dunes pop up, then saw they're in FL..... Congrats to you! #jealous
 
My salesman has been out of the office, but was able to speak to a manager. ETA has changed to Dec 20. I'm just happy to have an update!

Oh that’s odd! I’m glad you were able to get an update but surprised it changed so much, considering your previous eta. Fingers crossed that you get some better news next week!
 
In other news, my Tuxmats arrived today!

Carvana accepted all the paperwork I submitted and will be picking up my Honda Pilot on the 13th. I have the last two weeks of Dec off of work, so I’ll only be without a car for a week (assuming my ETA doesn’t get pushed back dramatically).

Had some trouble getting Carvana to accept my paperwork (had to submit the same thing 3 times), but otherwise been very pleased thus far.

Well, plans might change. Salesman sent me an email at closing time tonight that they’ll have an Ebony black EX Nightfall arriving on Thursday that is yet unclaimed. As much as I want the SXP, the EX has just about all the features I really wanted and is about $5,000 cheaper (meaning the wife will be happy), I wouldn’t have to wait months, and the all-black Ebony Nightfall does look pretty killer…

Responded to the salesman’s email a couple hours later that I’d buy it. If it’s still available come morning when he sees my email then I’ll be a proud new Telluride owner! Wouldn’t be able to pick it up until Saturday.

Now to prepare myself for a black vehicle with black interior in the height of the Texas summer….

Tint, Tint and very good Tint!
I personally would have paid the 5 grand more and went with with the SX the captain seats in the back are great for my kids and family.

Actually, I wound up not taking that EB EXPN and changed my order again. Getting an ES/Dune SXP :)

Pretty certain my VIN just popped up in Failcat! Verifying with the dealership.

Edit: confirmed, it’s mine!

Couple updates:

My ETA is now Dec 19, and I’ve officially sold my Honda Pilot to Carvana.

Did a (very easy) video walkthrough with a Carvana rep that took about 15 minutes. Equity payment will be deposited into my account within the next two days; vehicle will be picked up tomorrow morning. Overall a very easy process with no surprises.

Direct deposit from Carvana hit my account this morning. Couldn’t be more pleased with the service once all the paperwork was accepted.
