Is the phone or website updating for you? We have similar build dates but I am stuck in waiting at port of exit for a shipping vessel for 3 weeks now. My dealer is useless in giving me additional info. Thx. |

Both have been updating for me. Since the car has been on the vessel, I stopped calling the 800 number, and have just been tracking the ship. Is your car a German or SA build? |

That was fast!

That is amazingly quick! I'm hoping my transport time from Baltimore to Cedar Rapids Iowa is only 1 day longer than your experience. How do you like your car so far? My order is close to yours but went with Imperial Blue Metallic and black leather. |

Love the car-- though admittedly I've been babying it and breaking it in slowly. I'll save some more fun for when the weather warms up and the car is more broken in. No regrets so far. The build quality is good (no rattles yet), no problems thus far-- just lots of technology for me to learn, which is a good thing. What else did you order on your car? Have fun, good luck for a speedy delivery too... |
