Looks like our cars are on the the line together as I went to status 160 today as well!!! Where do you live? If your car is coming through Port Hueneme on the west coast we'll have to keep track of the progress. I understand its about 20 days from port to port, just a question of how long it takes to get from factory onto a ship, and once off the ship through processing to dealer. I'm crossing my fingers that I'll get her before July 4.

I'm on the East coast and my dealer says it should be here before the end of June. We'll see, I think his estimate is a bit optimistic. Do you know how to track the vessel? Go to Cargo Tracking -> Auto Cargo

As of today: Status 193 !!!!

Smudge is the dealer giving you the updates with codes, or the 800 number?

The codes I obtained from my dealer. The dealer also seems to have the most current information. ie: status 193 indicates that the car has arrived at the port of exit, however the 800 number says "Your vehicle is being transported to the port of exit."
I hate to bug the crap out of my dealer; he probably thinks I'm some kind of nutcase. But soon he'll provide me with the vessel callsign, at which point I can leave him alone for a while and track it online myself.
Good luck with your delivery.

Awesome! Thanks for the link. Found out mine is not at port yet, but has been released. Any idea if you can find out when the next ro-ro's are due to sail?
