Default To GT4 Owners: How long did it take from 'Enter Body Shop' to 'Dealer Inventory'

To all GT4 wait club survivors, how long did it take from V260 (Enter Body Shop) to Deal Inventory? I did a bit research but did not find a focused thread like this(Correct me if there was one) Much appreciated!!

So far - mine took 2 weeks from entering body shop to sitting in Emden. Another two weeks waiting for the boat. 12 days to travel across the Atlantic to the port of Jacksonville....where it currently sits.

So far it's taken 6 weeks to go from v260 to the US port. Assuming it gets here in a week, that will have been 7 weeks total.

So I'd say ballpark 2 months or so, +/- 1 to 2 weeks

Thank you, rk-d. Wow, only one week to go! I bet you are all excited. Let us know when you take delivery. Posting pictures is highly encouraged. Mine will go v260 in a week.

Your car must also be on the Hojin.

This part is definitely the hardest. Everything so far has dragged a little bit. Hoping this one comes sooner rather than later. Preferably when there isn't any rain.

You too? Hoegh Delhi had just stopped at JAX a few days prior. I'm hoping that means all the cars will now be quickly processed and trucked.

I'm on the West Coast, so Hojin will have to get through Panama first. It will still be some weeks until I get it. Enjoy your GT4!

Just called my SA, my yellow one went into production yesterday. 3 weeks ahead of schedule. Anyone else who can share on how long did it take you from exit production to collection? and pls add your location if feasible. Thanks!

My car entered production 2/9/16, exited production 2/22, was completed 2/23, entered Emden 2/25, exited Emden 2/29, entered Davisville 3/15, was released for transport 3/16, and was invoiced today 3/18. I expect it to be at the NJ dealer late today or Saturday 3/19, with delivery to me probably Wednesday 3/22. I hope that helps you on the timing. My sense is that things went better than smoothly. My original delivery date was "planned" to be 4/15, and is now "expected" on 3/25.

Great idea for a thread - thanks for starting this.

Mine exited production 3/17 (a day early ) so I will be following it and posting the result. Right now schedule says it could arrive at dealer 4/29 but obviously it depends on many things (weather, trucking, etc). I'm near Pittsburgh so it's a fairly quick, easy drive from Davisville, RI.

^^^^ GT4WaitClubKing, you're welcome. Ooops, I meant I expect delivery Wednesday 3/23, not Wednesday 3/22 (that's Tuesday, and my SA is off). I may go see it at their storage or service facility (which is remote from the dealership) on Monday, if they'll let me.
