And I drove one on Saturday at my dealership - I shouldn't have, because now this wait is going to feel even LONGER!! How long at the prep center on the East coast before they get on a truck? I figure Chicago is only a 1 or 2 day trip from NJ.. So: 12 days on a boat, X days at the prep center, 2 days on a truck, 1 day at my dealer. Late April at the earliest, or first/second week of May at the latest, assuming I get on a boat in the next few days?!

The sticky says any where from 7 to 14 days at the VPC.. I sure hope it is not that long.. that wld suck.

Waiting at the dock for a West Coast boat too. I'm hoping for one of the boats on the 11th.

I'm a Week 15er waiting at the dock for a vessel to the west coast. I'm guessing I'll be on the next one after next. Hopefully sooner if all of the planets are aligned.

I got it from Owners Circle on here, then I took my vin# to the shipping comapny's website and found out I am on the Carmen, due into Port Hueneme on the 27th of April.

The website is delayed. Take your vin# and go to http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/cargoTrack.do and plug in your Vin# it will tell you what boat you are on, when it left Bremerhaven and when it is due into Hueneme.

Just put my Vin in and it doesn't come up with a vessel yet.....uggghhhh...
I think I will call the 1-800 number and talk to a human... maybe they have updated info.

Good luck. The guy I talked to last night said that once it reaches the port, the dealer gets better information on it than they can for a while. I'm just going to do the VIN reload for a while, because I'm hoping my CA can work a miracle and get my car diverted for Performance Center Delivery now.

Sadly, they do not. I tried 30 min ago to ask if they knew if my car would be making one of the 4/11 ships and he said that they do not have that info.

atr_hugo · 04-09-2008, 08:49 PM

The CA can get that info - but the 1-800 folks can't, IIRC.

boats have been added to port hueneme in case anyone here does not make it out after the 12th. i posted a table in the week 14 support group thread.

I'm still chilling on the dock. Any east coasters make it onto the Tagus today? I'm still hoping to hid Courage or Boheme this week, but it's looking more like it will be early/mid May before I have my car.

jdesclafani · 04-10-2008, 12:59 PM

my car is awaiting transport...i hope it gets out on one of these ships...

amybang · 04-10-2008, 02:02 PM

I'm on the Tagus. Status updated sometime in the last hour. Go check to see if your cars made it!

I am on the Tagus with you!!! Yes.... Stupid 1-800 number still says awaiting a vessel but when I put my vin in the cargo tracker it said I had been loaded on the Tagus Yesterday!! Any one else who is a week 14er I suggest you go and put your vin in the cargo tracker nevermind the 1-800 number at this point..

Actually, when I called the 800 number yesterday and spoke with a person, he told me that after it gets to the port, they don't get any updated information for a while. But your CA will. However, your CA will probably only tell you what you can find out with a VIN search on the cargo tracker.

Well my CA doesn't seem to know me ever since I put my deposit down when I ordered. I have emailed him repeatedly and got no response. Thank god for this forum. I am sure I now know a lot more than my CA about quite a few things thanks to this forum.

Red135 · 04-10-2008, 11:29 PM

^^^Thank you. Thought I was the only one. My CA doesn't seem to remember that I ordered a vehicle and all that I want is an update every once in a while.

amybang · 04-11-2008, 03:27 AM

Wow, that sounds like a number of dealerships who won't be getting perfect scores when you have to fill out your satisfaction surveys.

glad to know that most east coast 1ers have set sail. west coasters will have to wait another day to find out if the just-left Isolde is carrying our cars. otherwise, it should be in the Grus which is scheduled to leave in a few hours.

Well I hope it is on one of them.. the wait for me is killing me and I am lucky enough to be in NJ right near the port. I could not imagine having to wait for as many days as you do in Hawaii. I think i wld be wandering the streets in a bathrobe mumbling to myself like a crazy person if I was in your shoes. I am pulling for you.
