My car is a May build, finished around May 30; VIN issued next day. It's now been almost three weeks since then, and according to dealer no update from PCNA. Is this unusual? Any suggestions?

yeah, relax. usually there is no boat waiting outside the factory.they wait for enough to fill it..be patient.

just pray that it won't sink like the one carrying BMWs 4 or 5 years ago.


The more you wait, the more you'll appreciate

I thought it was the Volvo, my friend's XC was on it.

I believe it had both Volvos and Bmws.

I guess there were many cars in transit from Europe. Lots of 7 series were gone as I remember.

In any case if you were a car nut soul waiting for you precious ordered to spec car, you would not want to get that bad news.

I hope they don't get our cars mixed up! C4S Seal Grey/black, oh with 3300miles on it!! Dropped mine back off at the factory on June 6th. I have been told my car hasn't left either.

Have heard nothing from my dealer since May 30, either. I would imagine that our cars are berthmates.

Curious...haven't heard anyhting myself.

Could take 10 days from VIN to boat, then 12-14 days on the water. You are looking at 4 weeks from finish to arrival....for you probably Baltimore depending on the dealer.

Then a few days with customs and pdi, then trucking, another week or so.

Relax, but what sucks is your dealer is not getting you updates. It should go ONVESL within 7-10 days of VIN assigned. Sounds like a lazy salesman to me.

it was longer than usual to get to boat, but PCNA seems to be slow in updating this month. The car had an onvesl date of 6/19, and no update from PCNA on when that boat will dock. It could be arriving any day at port. For all I know, it could arrive at port before PCNA tells me what boat its on...

kocsis

Yes, this was not dealer's problem, but example of PCNA not having a particularly efficient tracking system. I guess I was spoiled by my BMW tracking six years ago (!), when I had access to the tracking and was able to monitor entire process, including where ship was at any one moment.

Alfie

the 6/19 onvesl is estimated to arrive in baltimore on 6/28....FYI

My car was supposed to be at Checkpoint 8 on June 19. As of Saturday the 24th, there was still no assinged VIN. Dealer said it's unusual but not to worry...
