Finished Production and headed to the port

jb2178 · 05-29-2008, 12:16 PM

My Timeline:
Ordered and paid deposit April 24th
Production Number recieved April 26th
Original Requested Production Week 20
Bumped to week 23
Production Completed May 28th

The sales rep said a rough estimate was 1 week at the port, 2 weeks on the water and 1 week delivered. I'm hoping to have it for the 4th of July...

Awesome!

Your CA might be a little optimistic. My car sat on the dock for 3 weeks waiting for a boat. East coast boats are a little more frequent, so you might get lucky, but I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you.

After my 3 week bump in production weeks I'm completely aware of how optimistic my hopes are but it's good news for me today and maybe I will get lucky after all.

Mine finished production yesterday and is "Awaiting Transport". It was Ordered May 1.

Just found at mine is at the docks now, too. I'm guessing I won't be on the first boat to leave, but who knows. Is there a way to see which boats are picking up cars in the next couple of weeks? I know I've seen people talk about hoping to get on a certain boat, but I don't know where that info comes from...

Sorry, I wasn't trying to dash your hopes. I was just trying to keep them realistic. I'm just the kind of guy who would rather have low expectations and be pleasantly surprised, then have high expectations and end up disappointed. Don't let my pessimistic nature rain on your parade.
