Vive La Boheme!

MMakoto · 10-16-2006, 11:58 AM

just spoke w/ my CA, they don't have any info on what's going on at the vpc. the next update they'll get is when the car's done at the vpc and released to the carrier for transport. i'm still hoping to pick up my ride on saturday, but it doesn't look too good right now.
i'm wondering if there's a site or # where i can get the status of my car at the vpc??

Mine was discharged from the Beheme early last Thursday morning along with several others from this thread. Just curious if you guys in NY, NJ had seen anything. I'm outside Philly and chomping at the proverbial bit here.

Just spoke to my dealer; he does not see it as having been released to a carrier to go to the VPC yet. He said that could change today and maybe by the end of the week for me to pick up.

MMakoto · 10-16-2006, 04:08 PM

just got news from my finance manager, my car has been released to a carrier, it should reach my dealership on thursday. saturday pickup is looking good right here. :rocks:

Taittinger · 10-16-2006, 04:21 PM

Hopefully that is the same for the rest of us.

Taittinger · 10-16-2006, 07:14 PM

It should not be too long to the VPC, a couple days there, then transport to the dealer, so maybe Friday or Saturday.

QuestNYC · 10-16-2006, 07:20 PM

What's the first thing you're going to do with your car when you drive it off the lot?

I'm going to enjoy a the 30 mile drive home on the Merritt parkway.

The VPC work order for my car was completed, then my car was released to the carrier for transport to the dealership. ETA is 10/19

since i'm getting it on saturday, i'll most likely put back all my junks in there first, then make a compilation of mp3s and blast it in the car.

Hmm... I was told that mine was not released to a carrier to get to the VPC. It seems I am behind you.

My CA told me I was priority 1 meaning the highest priority so hopefully the process gets expedited.

Taittinger · 10-16-2006, 07:47 PM

Yes, I think I read somewhere that since ours are sold vehicles, they get priority ahead of the other vehicles that came on the Boheme. I hope we do get it Friday; I really want to drive it this weekend.

Take a look at this post so you can have an idea of the process:http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=157

Just called my dealer to see if they heard anything. Apparently, the information we are all seeing from the shipping company is bogus. I was told that the ship did not actually land in NY until the 16th. My car is also priority 1 status, but will not be delivered to the dealer until this Sat. Of course they are closed for prepping cars on Sat. So assuming this is valid information, I am looking at some time next week. Ordered the car on July 13. WTF!!!!

I told the dealer that I tracked the car all the way from Germany and saw that the car was discharged on the 12th at NY at 8am. How could this be?? He said "all I can tell you is that the "internal document" I have, says the ship did not land until 10/16".

Anybody have more accurate info than the numbnut I'm talking to??? Please tell me he's dead wrong!!

superstarR · 10-17-2006, 10:44 AM

I think your CA is wrong, unless they dropped off your car in Baltimore which could be the reason why it's going to take a bit longer for you to get your car to the VPC.

Here is the schedule for the ship Boheme from W&W. The ship has already left Baltimore on Oct 15th and is on the way the Brunswick, GA.

It must be at the VPC by now.

phuwok · 10-17-2006, 11:33 AM

I agree with you. I told him all of this and explained the shipping company website indicates the ship was already in Baltimore by the 14th. He either looked up the wrong car or the 16th was the day the VPC showed they received it. I don't know. I'm just frustrated and losing my patience with the continued move out of delivery. I was originally told end of Aug. first week Sept. Then it went out to end of Sept. first week Oct. due to the NAV hold-up. Not much I can do and there are obviously worse things than wondering where the hell my new car is.. "Just quit yo bitchin and move on".

MMakoto · 10-17-2006, 12:47 PM

phuwok,
i'm on the same boat as you, and since our cars are sold, then most likely you'll have the same status as i do. read my sig. since i'm in nyc, i just might get my car at the dealership 1 day earlier. my CA told me the same things from what you said, it is the finance manager who told me the more updated info. so i say u're still looking good this weekend for delivery.

335I talian Stallion NJ · 10-17-2006, 04:27 PM

I talked to the manager today as my CA was out of the office, they said the ship didn't land until yesterday?? WTF?!?! It said it was offloaded on the 12th.. what is this shit

anyways he says its at the VPC now, maybe be delivered Friday or Monday... this is bullshit, my CA said maybe wed or latest thurs... I took off Friday from work hoping to get a day of driving before I have to go away for the weekend... I am going to crack some skulls if I don't get it at the latest Friday

The manager said that he doesn't want to quote me an earlier date and it end up being later so maybe I'll luck out and it will get here sooner?

MMakoto · 10-17-2006, 04:51 PM

i was told by the finance manager that my car will definitely be at the dealership tomorrow. i'll confirm w/ yall tomorrow. if mine will be here tomorrow, then i'd say all yours would be as well. some people don't know jack at the dealership.
oh yea, ask them for a stock #, if they have that, then ur car is on the way to the dealership.

Per WW's site, the Integrity docked on the 15th after Boheme so either WW does not know where its ships are or your dealer has no clue.
