ive been trying to figure out which port my car will likely arrive at. when i go on WW logistics, i find that there are several options that are feasible. i know itll leave from bremerhaven, but im unsure if itll go to the NJ or SC VPC. its ultimate destination will be the chicago area, anybody know where itll go? i cant find a port for SC, just charleston NC. the other port i could find is NY. any ideas?

Hey Doc, Your car will land at the Charleston, SC Vehicle Prep Center.
Congrats on selecting a great machine.
Good luck waiting ... it will feel like it's taking forever. It's worth it.

thanks for the reply, i found the charleston SC port. if my car is done on 3/3, it should ship via the next available boat right?

3/6-integrity-ETA 3/25
3/13-freedom-ETA 4/1
3/17-undine-ETA 4/6

wonder which one itll be on.

Which build week did you have? I also ordered a 2007 on 2/10 and got build week 9 which is this coming week I think. That sounded like the first week for 2007 models.

My dealer told me week 9 when I placed my order. Did you get your status from the automated phone system? Mine still says "Scheduled for production with no confirmed production date.", although I understand this can be from a few days to weeks behind.

yes i got my status from the phone system. my dealer hasnt been in touch with me (and i dont want to constantly keep calling him). my phone status message says "your car is in production with an estimated completion date of march 3rd 2006" its usually 1-2 days behind, cause i actually messed up while giving it my production number once and it redirected me to an associate. he told me my car entered production on 2/21 and would be done by 3/3. whereas the message on 2/21 was saying scheduled for production, it didnt change until 2/22. (i cant beleive im this neurotic about it).

does it matter which production week its in? i figure as long as i know when its done that should be sufficient right?
