The dealer's claiming my car won't be in the country until 27/2/08 despite me tracking online using the VIN. They're obviously just trying to buy themselves more time2008 5dr GTi, 18inch VW Huffwiesen alloys, Tornado Red, DSG, Anthracite Leather, Sunroof, Bixenons, Rear PDC, Window TintComment

Ahem.. HE would have hassled dockies BUT there seems to be this thing called trespass laws into bonded customs areas!!! And be damned you can't actually see the car come off the boat, just a whole heap of VW's lined up on the dock. Least I.. oops HE knows that said vehicle is in the country!!1Originally posted by gpk_gti View Postwho did that?? actually go to the boat to see your car come off! did he hassle the dockies or truckies to see vins? hahahahhahahahaa good one!

When you guys were tracking your car when was it trackable from.?
Mine was in production on 30 Jan, due to leave plant on 8 Feb and due at the dispatch port on 11 Feb then due to arrive at the Melbourne port on 13 march.
All dates provided by dealer.
Looking on the tracking website at shipping schedules the ship that i presume my car will be on doesnt leave port until 27 Feb and doesnt arrive at Melbourne until 16 March.
When i put my vin in the website it says "no info available for that cargo id you entered."
Is this because the ship hasnt sailed yet.??Comment

Forget the dates the dealer gives you they are never right, the dates for my vehicle changed 4 timesOriginally posted by Logzy View Post
The shipping company wont know about your car till its booked to go on a vessel, I wouldnt worry just yet as more than likely its sitting ready to go. BTW when my vehicle was getting shipped the boat left port and it wasn't till a day later the car was able to be tracked via the website. Best advice I can give is to forget you have a car on order, saves heaps of BS. It will get here in its own time.. heck mine is still out there on a dock waiting to clear customs, it all happens in its own time
