sales@ESSTuning · 01-18-2008, 12:02 AM

Departed Panama! On its way to California!

sales@ESSTuning · 01-21-2008, 03:45 PM

I think I will actually have the map update as the car travels by truck to my dealer as well. Why not?

demosthenes · 01-21-2008, 03:54 PM

Thanks again for the tracking info. It's great seeing it on the globe.

How long does VPC normally take?

umm the tracking guide states 4-10 days but that was from a east coast poster, and my guess is that they have ships constantly coming in unlike us every 7 days...
our cars come in every 14 days (my guess)
I think we can fly through VPC in 2-3 days (praying to god)

m_bazeepaymon · 01-22-2008, 10:34 AM

this wait is really starting to kill me

m_bazeepaymon · 01-23-2008, 05:06 PM

Question guys...
how long will it be to get our cars off Tarifa? and to VPC?
how far is the trip from the port there?

sales@ESSTuning · 01-23-2008, 05:32 PM

The port is about 1.5 miles from the VPC and they enter it almost immediately. Based on the fact that the last BMW ship to arrive was back on the 18th, I think the VPC should get through them pretty quick. And the Priority 1 (Customer Sold) cars go first. My ZHP only took 2 days to get onto a truck and on the road from arrival at the Port. I had it in my hands (in Phoenix) 4 days after it got to the States.

Update:

m_bazeepaymon · 01-25-2008, 10:45 AM

I think we're gona land tomorrow afternoon or tomorrow night...
we are too far to make it a perfect day

m_bazeepaymon · 01-26-2008, 12:08 PM

the eagle has landed!

sales@ESSTuning · 01-28-2008, 04:02 AM

Confirmed. The Tarifa has discharged its cargo and has left Port Hueneme.

Now, thru the VPC and onto truck to the dealers! Be here in no time!

My dealer just called to say my car arrived today and I can pick up tomorrow! It must have flown through VPC Monday and then been shipped up to Marin overnight. Will send confirmation soon!

sales@ESSTuning · 01-29-2008, 05:42 PM

DITTO!

My car is at my dealership here in Phoenix... I am getting it tonight. Pics later!

I ordered mine at Sonnen too, but I changed my order 1/2 way through this torture chamber process. My new car is waiting in Bremerhaven. I still have 4-5 weeks of this torture to go!

I hope you enjoy your new car.

sales@ESSTuning · 01-29-2008, 10:50 PM

Here she is... enjoy her in stock form... next time you see her, it will be MUCH different.

sales@ESSTuning · 01-30-2008, 01:56 PM

And a final global map update of my entire ordering timeline:

m_bazeepaymon · 01-30-2008, 01:59 PM

Im still waiting on my car....
Its supposed to be delivered to Irvine...
anyone know what the hold up could be?

sales@ESSTuning · 01-30-2008, 02:02 PM

Are you having any work done at the VPC? Rear sunshade, CD changers, Aero lip, anything?
