Maybe a miracle will occur and EPA/CARB approval will happen this week :-)
Your tracker has it down to the minute, that's pretty cool.
Hopefully the Port has some good overtime workers over Labor Day weekend. Need to load those transporters stat!

The ETA into San Diego is just based on the MarineTraffic.com info—I think it is readily available to anybody who visits the site and does a search for “G Poseidon”.
I'm still hoping for a miracle that gets EPA/CARB done this week :-)
TDY has not been very accurate, but Marine Traffic is out of range. TDY showing around 2000 miles to San Diego chugging along at 14.9 knots... Our SM told us this morning 09/09 is the estimated EPA certification date...Not sure for the U.S. or just California.

Alfa Romeo is still unable to confirm or deny that my vehicle is onboard although my dealer still is telling me so. I have an appointment to see the dealer this Friday to discuss the order that I first placed on February 10.
As the world and the car market has changed since that time I intend to renegotiate my order pricing. Edmunds has their market value right where my price is currently yet Kelly Blue Book is 10% less. I intend to ask for at least a 10% reduction or I am prepared to walk away from the deal.
My question to you is if you think I'm being unreasonable or should I ask for more..or less...or nothing at all? My dealer has been close to useless throughout the past 7 months so at this point I no longer really care if I get the car or not as the entire process has left me with about as much excitement and anticipation as buying a pair of pants...

$500 deposit via credit card so I'm not worried about disputing it if needed. Original paperwork quotes June delivery so technically they havent fullfilled their end of the deal.
You're ahead of me. I ordered mid-December for April delivery and gave them my AMG wagon as trade-in then so I could guarantee the sales tax credit and didn't drive it in the snow anyway. They were very careful to specifically not guarantee a delivery date. Doubt I will buy again from these guys. I think Boise is just too low volume to get any attention from PCNA.

Hi Bob. I guess this mostly depends upon how much you really want the car- and whether it is even actually en route to you. Did you have a trade negotiated in the deal as well? That's where the tricky part tends to come in since they may give you any percent you want off the car but screw you on the trade saying you put too much mileage, wear and tear, whatever on it since February. Also, I believe Alfa Romeo has a lot more wiggle room in pricing since they really aren't quite that popular- especially here in the U.S.
I'm sad to hear that you lost all the excitement of getting this car--which to me is more important than the deal. I ordered my car in the beginning of March, and with all the shut downs and everything it was a brutal wait-- but it only intensified the excitement of getting my car. If you reached out to us on another car manufacturer's message board to try and track your car, that tells me you really wanted a special car and should be more excited than buying a pair of pants. I'd ask your dealer to let you test drive another Alfa when you are there again. If you don't love it again after being this far in the journey, then that will say a lot.
