Personally, I have no problem waiting for 8 to 12 months. I wouldn't wait 18 because there are pleanty of quality taxis out there that can do as good or better and stay within the 12 months.

That said, I have to hand it to Bill. Telling his customers up front the wait is 18 months at least gives them the choice. If they think he is worth it, then more power to him and them. At least he answered the questions and addressed the issues up front. That counts for a whole lot in today's world.
