No News = GOOD NEWS!

I was told by the Manager of the dealership that my car was already on a boat. Upon checking with the shipping company, it turns out that the car is still sitting on the docks. I don't think the left hand knows what the right hand is doing at my dealership. In fact, yesterday I was told that my delivery will still happen mid October. I just don't believe what they are saying anymore. They will tell you anything just to shut you up. The frustrating thing about this is when you actually do go and pick up your Tigga, all is forgotten and you are so happy again with your dealer.

Yes the Middle October is what the computer says just like my dealer told me, but he said that the people who enter the information dont know what they are doing. My dealer is a bit conservative and estimates that the car will be ready for pick up either end October or 1st week November. I will set my expectations at November.

When I was waiting, I tried putting the VIN into the Wallenius whatsit site too, and it didn't come up. I could only track it via the ship it was on. I think you have to be a dealer and have a log on to get into the details with VINs etc.

Once the ship docked it took an extra two weeks for all the unloading, red tape, compliance blah blah and all that to be completed before I could pick it up. Apparently thats the norm, but can take up to three weeks.

So there's hope yet!

FINALLY! My VIN number has been listed on the Wallenius Wilhelmsen website tracker. My car is on the appropriately named ship "Glorious Leader". It will dock in Melbourne on the 20th October. Add another two weeks and I should have my car early November. My dealer still insists on a late October delivery. You gotta love'm.

I got my VIN and checked the tracking site but found no match at all. The car had definitely been shipped and arrived in Oz on the 31st of August but for whatever reason, I could never find it on the tracking site.

Was told today to expect delivery next Monday. That means from arrival to delivery will be three weeks.
