How to track your Vehicle in Canada After its off the Ship

Bimzz · 07-17-2008, 10:58 AM

Besides haggling your CA, does anyone know of a way to track your car once its on soil in canada after being discharged from the ship/carrier?

Specifically , to toronto?:smile:

That is basically the only reliable way.

I'm currently in the same boat(or off the boat :wink: ) as you.

I asked and this is the quote I got from my dealer:
"Il vous est malheureusement impossible de suivre vous-même votre véhicule."

wich translates to :

"It is unfortunately impossible for you to track your own vehicle."

For some reason I saw the word track and I thought racing! I though someone on here was really hardcore about getting their 1 to the track! LOL I guess I'm just to track happy!

I WANT TRACK

Yeah, this is such a pain, I managed to keep tabs on it all the way to Halifax, now I'm waiting in the dark for "the call". Hopefully only one or two weeks for me

It is 10 days to 2 weeks from Halifax to Annacis Island, then they truck it to your dealer. I don't even think the dealers can track it on the train.

If your landed on June 9th why don't you have the car yet? I called my dealership and they said its on the boat. They said the car will be here in 3 weeks . I hope they are not bullshiting me

cause i'm expecting it 1-2 week of august

warmtoes · 07-24-2008, 07:23 PM

If they said it was on the boat this week or last week you should get it by the end of the second week of August.

Bimzz · 07-25-2008, 10:02 AM

My car was unloaded at the dock in Halifax on July 15th. Today is July 25th and I still don't have my car and also no word from my CA saying "it will be here on this day etc..". I live in Toronto.

Not sure how much longer it should be. I'd really like to have it by latest next week so I can have it for the long weekend.

So sick of waiting!

warmtoes · 07-25-2008, 10:44 AM

It took me two weeks but I'm all the way over in Vancouver. You'd figure you should see yours within the next couple of days.

Bimzz · 07-25-2008, 02:27 PM

I really hope its soon!

Kiety · 07-25-2008, 05:29 PM

Arrons, who did you order from? I was in at Jessel this morning and I saw a Sedona Red 1 being prepped. The guy was just ripping off the plastic.
