Does it really take 2 weeks from the port to the dealer?

Mine is still at the port, for the past 1 1/2 weeks. Other people on the same ship took delivery days ago. Very frustrating. I guess it's like airport luggage, you never know when yours will come out.

I would be very skeptical. It may be there that long because they are repairing it. I would call dealer, Porsche North America and get them to explain why. It may be wise to get a statement stating the car has NOT been repaired.

I would be extremely concerned if i had no received my car yet.

For what its worth my car docked on a Monday and my car arrived at the dealership that following Thursday night and was ready by Friday afternoon for pick up. My friend who was at a different dealer also received his car on that Friday as well and he was at a different dealer.

Hold ups could mean different things... Perhaps not enough trucks or even worse perhaps damage incurred during transport.

My SA assured me that the car hasn't been damaged as it would show up on the computer as being in the body shop. The GM called the port and they told him everything was proceeding within the normal timeframe.

Bring a paint meter.
