How long does it take at VPC?
So the ELEKTRA just docked at the port in NJ.
My car is on it and WWl logistics website says that it has a status of LINER RELEASE How long does it take to get on a truck and get to the dealer? My dealer is in suffolk county (about 1 hour away from the port) I am seriously running out of patience at this point now Here's the car from the ED: |

There are way too many factors to consider.
Port installed options, truck volume (sometimes hectic towards the end of the month) holidays like Friday, etc can all have an impact. My dealer was 30 minutes away from the west coast VPC and he didn't get my car for 6 days after it hit the port. Others got theirs the next day from dealers hours away. I've heard of stays of 10-14 days at the VPC happening, you just never know. I was VERY recently where you are, this is the worst part of the wait. Just think about it this way: 90% chance you'll have your car in a few days. The time period from when my car hit the port on 3/28 and I picked it up on 4/7 felt like a month!

Thanks for the additional information!
The good news is that I have no PIAs and I baby'd the car during the ED trip. I am not expecting any repair or replacement of any parts. I would LOVE to have the car next week. (it's only wishful thinking, lol) |
