If you made it on that ship, it would mean your car was there at port by the acceptance deadline. The tracking sites (phone, online) are never 100% accurate with the dates.

Happy to hear you made it though as you're on the same ship as me.

Cool there are three shipmates then. If you are in DC why are you on this ship?

My Salesperson said my car would be at the dealer in 2 weeks which would say about a week and a half once it has hit NY port. For my car that's this Wednesday for port and then next Friday is when my salesperson said it should be at the dealer.

Nope, but my windshield cracked during ED so I assume that's what they are working on. I always assumed they fixed it in Europe before shipping it over.

I don't think it's there yet. I think it would show up in live tracking as it passes south of Nantucket and Long Island.

My SWAG is that it'll dock tonight, with our cars coming off tomorrow.

I believe its expected into the port of New York for like 1am EST, marine traffic suggests its arrival is 5am UTC.

Nope. My car is coming back from ED. It's shipping to my dealer in the DC area.

Windshield doesn't take 2 weeks, imo. I've heard conflicting reports, but would the windshield be repaired in Europe since it was insured there, or in NY/NJ?

Ok i did hear any cars needing port installed options are the ones that are backed up. If you have no options car should be at dealer in about a week.

basiluf · 06-05-2014, 10:39 AM

This was my damage.

alz0rz · 06-05-2014, 10:49 AM

Cars that come from ED take longer at VPC because they have to go through a more "official" customs proecdure (I think it was an additional week or so avg.) since they have already been used.

This is my first custom order so I have no idea. It doesn't take that long to do once somebody starts the work, which may be some of the holdup. I always assumed they were repaired here when they arrived and the insurance covered the costs. I can't remember how I came to that conclusion. However, if it got damaged during transit then they'd have to be repairing it twice so may as well do it once. On the bright side, it can't be too much longer.
