Wow, you last 2 are damned close in VINs.

MrWallyBear · 06-23-2008, 06:14 PM

Hey my Car was delivered with your guys on the 20th, though its still showing not at the VPC and it was NOT an ED Delivery car. Anybody know what might be up my dealership does not seem to have any clue as the center is like 1/2 mile away.

LesLazz · 06-23-2008, 06:31 PM

MrWally - call the 800 number and talk with a person, they seems to have a handle on what is going on most of the time.

I'm dying here eluder, haven't called Wagoneer once today (>>> patting my own back for having just that little bit of self-control<<<) are we moving or what?

Leslie

eluder · 06-23-2008, 06:46 PM

How unhelpful. He would only give me my own. So, he has mine, but apparently doesn't have enough cars to send the truck yet...

He says you all need to call because it's "private information". I guess a number readily visible on all panels of a car is private. I guess though, when some guy is calling about 11 VINs, it's a bit sketchy :/

LesLazz · 06-23-2008, 07:03 PM

oooooohhhhh nnnnnnnnoooooo - it says they are closed! Thats what I get for being patient. Now THAT won't happen again any time soon!

Thanks for trying eluder, it was a good idea. I'll bet tomorrow they will be wondering why they didn't just give you the info instead of having to answer 20 (+/-) calls!

Les

fthrower · 06-23-2008, 07:23 PM

I didn't call today but my dealer emailed right after lunch. My car was released to trucking. Her estimate was Thursday or Friday at the dealer but she has seen them arrive the next day. Essentially, it is just waiting to be loaded on a truck. She said once it hits the dealer, it would take about four hours to get ready for pickup. I think I'm excited.

jlgt3 · 06-23-2008, 07:27 PM

i cannot wait to get my car too.
my dealer told me i have to wait until Friday.

lots mods are ready to install on my car.
Carbon hood and trunk emblems.
Carbon hand brake
Carbon wheels center caps

cowbs · 06-23-2008, 07:34 PM

damn. and the website still says my car is "en route". bah

drunkonvinyl · 06-23-2008, 07:50 PM

thanks for trying eluder. i'll call in tomorrow.

Joeyballs · 06-23-2008, 09:46 PM

I called my dealer today. He said I should be picking up the car on Thursday. I'm in Palm Springs, CA

fthrower · 06-23-2008, 09:54 PM

That's good news. I wonder if your dealer orders a bunch of cars if you have a better chance of your truck leaving (a truckload) or if they usually drop off some at one dealer and some at another.

eluder · 06-23-2008, 10:05 PM

I should have asked the time frame from the trucker. I'd imagine it's a matter of hours before a truck is filled.

fthrower · 06-23-2008, 10:11 PM

Leslie - I know you are bummed out but you are probably loaded and ready to go (your car). Just pretend this is Christmas Eve. If you go to bed early, tomorrow will be here before you know it and you can get your good news too. The email from my dealer began, "Dear Greg - Great News!"

tomshi · 06-23-2008, 10:32 PM

Hi All...just found this site! I am waiting for my 135i which was on the Welkin as well! I am going crazy trying to find out if it has been unloaded and is on it's way to the bloody VPC! My dealer has been a bit lackluster with the information unfortunately and the OC still shows "en route"! AAAAAGH! I want my car...whine whine!

fthrower · 06-23-2008, 10:42 PM

Welcome Tomshi - If you were on the Welkin, I would guess you are at least at the VPC by now. The owner's circle isn't the most up to date information source. I would call or email your SA. At this stage she or he have the most up to date info. Hopefully, it's not on this burned out car carrier.

LesLazz · 06-23-2008, 11:00 PM

^^^Now there's a happy thought! (actually did get a chuckle outta me)

You know fthrower, I was never a "Christmas Eve" type gal, always more a Christmas Morning (instant gratification) gal. Oh well, not anything I can do about it tonight, I will however call tomorrow morning to find out when they send the next truck up my way. I am also going to find out how many stops, what time they are expected at each stop, how long they take to unload each delivery, where they gas up, what the average speed is, tire pressure they run on and any other tidbit of information my frustrated little mind can possibly think up!

I think I am sooooo done with the anticipation, I just want that stupid car. I hate the beater blazer (and honestly? That Prius is like a tin can on wheels! YUCH!)

Think good thoughts, breathe, count to ten and then do it again, have a glass or two of wine and go to bed early, tomorrow will be here before I know it. I trust kharma, I trust kharma, I trust kharma..... (although I am too lazy to look up how to spell it!)

Leslie

fthrower · 06-23-2008, 11:05 PM

I'm thinking about calling - I'm just afraid they are so sick of calls, they will unload my car if I bother them. Let us know what you find out. Night.

tomshi · 06-23-2008, 11:29 PM

Thanks for that truck image! That'll be another night added to my own private Sleepless in Seattle film that plays every night while I wait for this friggin car!!! Why did I do this!!!

fthrower · 06-24-2008, 07:16 AM

Ha Ha - Glad you enjoyed it. Hang in there.

dawgdog · 06-24-2008, 07:48 AM

tomshi,

What dealership are you purchasing from? Perhaps our cars will be on the same truck. I am hoping by the end of the week I'll see mine at BMW Seattle.

fthrower · 06-24-2008, 08:08 AM

Call us! We got your VIN!
