Assuming it gets out of the plant this weekend and on it's way to Bremmerhaven, it should be able to catch the Boheme which leaves Bremmerhaven on the 2nd of March. It is scheduled to arrive in Brunswick Ga on the 22nd of March. Give or take a few days, I would guess around the end of March befoe your dealer sees the car.

If you have a VIN for your car, you can track it on WW's website once the car is loaded and on its way.

Here is the link.

Select Cargo Tracking and then Auto Cargo. Enter the full VIN and you should receive a schedule of when the ship will arrive in each port.

My car was completed and arrived at the port on 2/15. But as of today, it still says it's not loaded on a vessel yet. According to 800-831-1117, it's "At the port of exit awaiting a vessel for transport" and been that way for almost 10 days now.

Can you tell which boat my car should be on?

Is it possible that it's actually on a boat already and the 800 number just isn't updated?

Thanks!

I sure hope i'll get it before April 6, otherwise it'll be sitting at my dealer's lot for another 3 weeks as I'm leaving on a business trip...

I'd rather my baby be sitting in my garage under A/C...

Go to WW as I noted above and enter the VIN. It should tell you what boat you are on and when it is due into port.

Owner's Circle is known to be really late with the information. According to WW. three ships left port since the 22nd. It could be on any one of the three. Entering the VIN will tell you which one it is on.
