My wait was around 12 months from deposit to delivery to the dealership. But, the dealership had 10 build slots of which I was the 3rd (I believe that they have now sold 8/10). If your local dealership can't get you a build slot for 18 months, you can always try placing your order through an established dealer with available build slots. There is one in Palm Beach as well as one in Manhattan. I placed my deposit sight unseen and I have no regrets.
