Vessel Kassel - anyone else on it?

m4tte F82 · 05-07-2007, 08:16 PM

The 800# still says I'm in transit, but I just got this email from my CA:

Matt,
vehicle at vehicle preperation center today.
aloha,
curtis

AAWWWRRRIIIGGGHHHTT! It's confirmed guys. Hopefully we'll have our new babies soon...

I checked the 800 number and the status finally changed to "waiting for a shipping vessel"! I hope this means it got through VPC already!

I get the same message, and I hope so too!

Sounds like they are through the VPC as my CA sent me a note that my car is "awaiting transport" (truck) to Colorado.

COOL!!!

cye900 · 05-09-2007, 10:48 AM

When I called the 800 number it said the car was in transit!!!

Talltree · 05-09-2007, 07:28 PM

Anyone receive their's yet? I'm still waiting for the CA from Pacific BMW to give me an update.

My CA is now saying that mine is in transit and we have a "tentative" delivery date of the 15th!!!!

WooHoo!!!! :rocks:

cye900 · 05-10-2007, 02:20 PM

Well the Web site still says VPC, the 800 number still says in transit. CA will give me an update tomorrow hopefully.

cye900 · 05-10-2007, 09:44 PM

Outstanding!!!! I drove over to my dealer last night to show some friends the demo and when I drove around to the side of the building WOW!!
There sat MY car - fresh off the transport!!!! My CA had already left for the day I'm not sure if he even knew that it was in. I sent him an email and will call first thing this morning to get an update on delivery.

WooHoo!!!!

Yes we did - but I still have not downloaded the pics from my camera. I'll try to get them posted by this time tomorrow.

I REALLLLLY like it!!! Very smooth - responsive - quiet........ Love the new Crimson Red. My son has a New Fromula Red S2000 and the colors are fairly close - perhaps a bit more orange in the NFR which makes the Crimson Red look just a tad darker. Both are GREAT "reds", IMHO.

Congratulations on being the first of us to get their car!!! I'm really happy for you - she's a beauty!

I'm actually at Denver airport now, and I saw my first E93 today and the Cherry Creek shopping center. Happily for me, it was TiAg over coral w/ aluminum - it was the first time that I've seen my color combo in real life!!

http://www.matson.com/matnav/schedules/index.html

Hopefully I can get on Maunawili on 5/9 or Mahimahi on 5/12 and get into honolulu on 5/13 or 5/16, respectively

Hopefully that will help some other Hawaii buyer now or in the future.

How does it work for you guys in Colorado? I actually have to go to Denver on wednesday on business - I hope it's not too cold!! Below 60 is freezing to hawaii people!!

Thanks, the info helps me out, now I know when to expect my 335. Were you able to track your car on Matson's website?
