Skoda Shipment in Early-Mid Dec

[rapidattack]

Hey,

Live in Wollongong and eagerly await my Superb Elegance Wagon....just like in Caddy Shack "well..where waiting!"

Delivery is due Early Dec I am told. Although the dealer is sheepish with details!!!

Anyone else got one due around that time?

Would love to know what ship its on! I can see it come into Port Kembla, might even see it out if im fishing near the islands!

Good times.

If you bought it from the local Skoda dealer, I m not suprised they are "sheepish" with the details, I had to go elsewhere to buy mine. It felt like they were going to be doing me a favour if I bought a car from them.

The dealer will have the VIN by now so ask them for it then you can use that to track the vehicle on the shipping companies web site.
It's your car and there is no reason to withhold the VIN from you and the dealer will have it by now so insist that you get it if they are not forthcoming immediately.

Hey Rapid...

Wallenius Wilhelmsen - Customer centre - Track & Trace

Thats the track and trace... put the VIN into the cargo field and hit search.

Thanks CanberravRS.

Ship is due in Port Kembla on the 13th of Dec.

Any idea how long it typically takes from doc to dealer?

[CanberravRS]

Typically you will get the car 7-14days after it docks.. They might do a xmas special for you though!

Bugger!! Thanks for the info.

Wanted it before Xmas, considering they need to fit bluetooth....and the fact my dealer hasn't been the "best" with customer service and Q&A, Ill assume it might be on the road between xmas and new years. (When I am away of course)

Cross fingers its beforehand!

[CanberravRS]

Bluetooth takes 15-45 mins to fit.. its not a big job at all... So in all reality if thats the only dealer option then your going to be turned around relatively quickly.. You would be supprised what dealers will do to get a car turned around before xmas, as the workshops generally all take the 4-5 days off between xmas and new years..
My last car, the wonderful 1z Octavia vRS wagon arrived 22nd of Dec 2007 and came off a boat around the same time as yours will.

Fingers are crossed for you mate.. its a wonderful XMAS present you got yourself.
