Possible damage too the car?
I am starting to get pissed am I out of line in my thinking?

Don't worry about it and be patient. For many of us, it took 3 weeks for the car to arrive after unloading at port. 5 days would be extremely quick.

My car has been in Halifax since December 10th. Hopefully it's just a logistics thing

No worries. Mine was delayed d/t transport. I did get concerned when dealer expected it, and it didn't show. So I had my SA e-mail the port representative to see if there was damage. She e-mailed back stating no pre/post damage to report, delayed due to transport. Never hurts to ask for an e-mail.

Yes, it's just logistics. Mine sat at port for 4 days before being picked up then it took 13 days to transport from Halifax to Calgary.

Understand the frustration.

It took 3 weeks from the ship docking, to clear customs, clear PDI and arrange for the trucking company from San Diego to OC which is only 75 miles.

I've ordered several cars and this time it is a bit odd, but fact is the port and VW are telling the dealers nothing other than the cars have arrived. My dealer has a huge number of cars customers are waiting for. I've heard that there are just a lot of cars coming in before year end, so we all need to wait it out. I hope to see mine by Tuesday the latest.

The Houston port is 150 miles from my home. Wish I could just show up and take it home when it gets off ship :-(

Gt3 arrive at the dealer under transport with a lift, so availability is not as numerous as the rest of the fleet. You should all be prepared for two to three weeks from arriving at port to dealer. Mine was three weeks, being a 9 hour drive from port.

Update car is still at port as of today, dealer has Porsche NA involved
to get the cars released. So the waiting continues
Thanks everyone for the info

So still less than a week? Seems a little soon to get PCNA involved.

According to my SA they have several cars that need to be delivered before
Christmas.

I would think the dealers want to get these cars on their books and sold this year. It may or may not affect their Premier status.

As much as i have bugged my SA she has been a trooper for sure. I got to thinking today how much I am trying to control a situation that I have no control of at all, good thing I have a few adult beverages

My SA confirms this. Because of the limited ground clearance of the GT3, they use a special truck rather than the usual car transporters for delivery. There aren't very many of those trucks - and that slows down GT3 deliveries.

The price you pay for glory!
