not quite sure where my car came into port, but my CA told me it would take about a week. my car was at the dealer and ready to go 4 days later.

Did you do ED or order it?

to the OP- Ordered cars are priority 1 so they clear custom quicker, get through VPC quicker and also to your dealer quicker.

ED cars are Priority 0 thus they take longer for everything. That's why the wait is 6-8 (it only spends about 3 weeks on the boat so the rest are pretty much just customs and VPC).

my car actually came from south africa. my CA did a dealer trade while the car was still being shipped to the states.

my CA gave me a call when the ship came into port. it was then i asked how long it would take to get to the dealership, and he said about 1 week usually. it was pretty cool that it only took 4 days. :rocks:

Wow, just got an e-mail from my CA. The car has arrived!!! It took exactly 7 weeks from the initial order! My wife and I will pick it up tomorrow!

I wish I could, but I'm stuck at work until 11pm. The car also needed to be detailed and filled up with gas per the CA. It must have just arrived. I think I surprised the CA when I told him that I'll pick it up first thing in the morning.

He told me noon. Pics to come Saturday when I have a day off.

Oh, I forgot to add that the car was scheduled to be at the port on the 23rd, so it took 5 days to get to the dealer.

I bought the car last tueday(6/26), it wasnt a custom order. I was looking for a car which the dealership did not have my set of options. They found one that is on the way and at a port in oxnard. I guess I don't have any priority in this :/

Typically a week is normal.

Shragon: Unless your car was a dealer trade with a dealer in the mid-west or East coast, your car came through PH (Oxnard) also.

My car was an ED and it took about a week to reach the dealer after the ship docked.

olboy · 06-28-2007, 10:28 PM

aw man that sucks, my dealer told me it should be here tommarow but told me it was still at the port today so i guess a week is about right

ilovejordanz · 06-30-2007, 08:57 PM

mine came to the dealership within 4 days but I didnt get the car until 3 days later

DaRipper · 07-01-2007, 02:29 PM
