@ Preperation Center

technik111 · 07-20-2007, 11:30 PM

My car is FINALLY in the U.S.!!! Words can't even describe how excited I am. My question is, how much longer do I have to wait?!?! How long have cars been staying at the prep center/how long does it take to ship the car to my dealer? Any help would be great!
Thanks

which vessel were you guys on ?

IrvRobinson · 07-21-2007, 07:02 AM

If it's not an ED car,usually 3-4 days to arrive at the dealer,if it is at customs,then approx 2 weeks.

aquaanox · 07-21-2007, 07:28 AM

Yea usually no more than a few days from the Prep center to your hands... Good luck and post up pics when you can...

nik-328xi · 07-21-2007, 11:32 AM

Normally just a few days at the VPC then depends on when a truck is heading your way. I know some NY folks whose cars were on the boat with mine had them 1-2 days after it docked. We arrived in port of NJ on the 12th and mine was at my dealer in VA on the 14th.

So if my car arrives the 23rd or 24th at the VPC in LA, when do you think I should get it over here in SF Bay Area?

Assuming there is no BULL with customs.

JoeyG · 07-21-2007, 12:28 PM

What boat were you on?

E90RWC · 07-21-2007, 05:54 PM

^ I think I am on the ISOLDE which arrives on the 24th now instead of the 23rd!

magmd · 07-21-2007, 05:59 PM

Took 3 days for mine to get through VPC, put on a trailer, and arrived at my dealer.

E90RWC · 07-21-2007, 06:05 PM

^ That excites me!

aquaanox · 07-21-2007, 06:22 PM

Surfer01 · 07-21-2007, 06:27 PM
