OK, I'm officially going nuts waiting
Yeah, I know, everyone posts about this. But my car is at VPC now--been there close to a week, so now I can't track it. The not knowing is killing me! I'm gonna have to call my CA and get a status report--see if there's a due date at the dealer. I need my car!  | | Reply » OK, I'm officially going nuts waiting |
My car took almost 20 DAYS to get to me from the VPC.  Hopefully it won't take that long but when you get the car it will be just so much sweeter!

I am SO in the same boat as you, Jim H- last week they told me mine would be in on Saturday, and still no car. I don't know either what's going on. We're so close though!

~Jon | Me three. I'm bouncing off the walls. Here's how I understand the process, recognizing that the VPC deals with several hundred cars at any given time and that any of these steps could delay the delivery by days  :
- The boat docks
- The cars are offloaded off of the boat and are parked near the dock
- Cars are driven 2 miles from the dock to the VPC (at least this is the case for Port Hueneme, not sure about the other VPCs)
- Cars are cleaned and inspected at the VPC.
- Any repairs are made at the VPC (complete body and mechanical shop there)
- Any custom add-ons are installed at the VPC, e.g. 6-CD changer in the trunk
- Once deemed ready, the cars are put on a car-carrier truck and shipped to the dealer, or, for long distances, put on a rail car
- The truck delivers the car to the dealer
- The dealer cleans the car, fills the tank, and delivers the vehicle
The consolation is (as has been told to me) that sold cars are prioritized and the VPC attempts to get these out first.

Thanks for the info, PHXEd. I didn't have any damage during my two weeks in Europe, and I'm not having them install anything extra, however. So, could this mean we're held up in customs like I think Beewang was last week? My owners circle hasn't updated me to being at the VPC yet- has anyone elses been updated who were on Hojin? I'm tempted to call my dealer again. Their call to me last week is still ringing in my head- "we got word from the shippers that your car should be here this Saturday"... argh!

So you just might be antagonizing yourself by looking at it now.
I want my car now but as long as I get it before Christmas I'll be satisfied.
