"Columbia Highway" vessel track

tm30 · 07-28-2009, 09:03 PM

FWIW - My CA says my 128 will arrive at prep center on Aug 1, then another three or four days after that it will be at the dealership.

When I call the 800 number, it says my car is at the port awaiting a shipping vessel. Based on what the guys from the Rhea Ladder thread were reporting, that might mean the car is already on a truck, or possibly just waiting for one. For 4 of them, it took 4 days from the time their boat arrived to the time they actually took delivery of the car. I think we'll get our cars very soon.

My CA called me at about 8:00 pm last night and told me that my car had been loaded on a railcar on the day the ship docked. He expects it to be downloaded at the Prep Center today, and he says I will probably have it by Friday.

On a side note, how do these CAs put up with all of us obsessive personality car nuts? I would not last long as one, because I would tell some guy like me "Relax, guy! Keep your shirt on and it will get here when it gets here already!"

Sweet! Well, I've only called my CA 3 times in the past 5 weeks, so I wouldn't say it's THAT bad.

Just another reason it's nice to have a car enthusiast CA, so they understand our obsession. Speaking of which, maybe I'll have to call my CA today... speed dial 1... err I mean, where's that number?

a14lee · 07-29-2009, 03:28 PM

Just called the 800 number and it says my car is in transit again! Now I'm waiting for a return car from my CA.

tm30 · 07-29-2009, 06:43 PM

Website finally shows "at preparation center" but 800 number says "at port awaiting shipping vessel".

Who knows where it is at this point?

a14lee · 07-29-2009, 09:28 PM

GREAT news!

So I have the same status as you, tm30, but I called my CA today, and he said he expected it by the end of the week. He then calls me 2 hours later and tells me they just unloaded my car from the truck at the dealership!

I am picking it up Friday afternoon after work. I'm taking off at 2... man I feel like not working at all! hahaha.

I bet you guys will get yours real soon.

I'd better get a call from my dealer tomorrow then. If it was transported by truck then they had to drive by my dealership to get to yours. But if it was by rail, then you would be first since there's no train station 'round these parts.

SHUT-UP! Are you kidding me?

It's already at the dealership?? I'm in the Chicago area, so hopefully mine will be showing up Friday-ish, as well.

Now my vehicle is "in transit" according to the 800 number.

Definitely on the way!

J.A. Carr · 07-30-2009, 11:19 AM

What the... Mine only had to make it to Chapel Hill, NC. For all you geography buffs that is considerably closer to SC than the midwest. Still no phone call. I feel like the homely girl at prom time just waiting for a call that never comes.

Any word on yours yet? Still waiting in Chicago...

a14lee · 07-31-2009, 01:31 PM

have you guys tried calling your CA's directly? They might know exactly when your cars are getting in.

t minue 2.5 hours

tm30 · 07-31-2009, 01:42 PM

I dropped him an e-mail, but he said he didn't know when it was coming in.

tm30 · 07-31-2009, 03:44 PM

Cool. Car is due in at the dealer today. Looks like I'll be picking up tomorrow.

a14lee · 07-31-2009, 10:00 PM

two words... woo and hoo!

The car is absolutely awesome!

I'll try to tear myself away from driving it tomorrow to redetail it and then snap some shots. Hope you guys all get yours soon!

Yup, got mine the same day you did, last Friday, no thanks to my SA however. I sent him an email that Friday asking how long the PDI process took and was gettin' a bit antsy cuz people in St Louis were getting their cars that day. His response was a 'oh yeah by the way' kind of response saying that my car was ready for pickup. Not sure when he planned on telling me. Let the modding begin! Already on order are racing dash 7000K angel eye bulbs and matte black grilles. Anycrap, here she is
