Just heard from the salesman at my dealership and my 550i is at the VPC in Spartanburg, SC and should be at the dealership by this Friday!! I will, hopefully, have my car by this weekend. Based on my tracking, the car just arrived at the port in Charleston on Sunday so they moved it out pretty quickly. From what I understand, they give sold cars priority over inventory cars at the VPC.

I will be returning my LS 460 early, but can't wait to get into the car.

mind to tell us when did you order yours? I ordered mine on the first week of November. Some said it takes about 50-60 days, and I just "can't wait to get into the car" like you.

baadaboo - here's the timeframe (approximate):

Ordered car on 10/18
Went into production on 10/27
At the port on 11/13
In Charleston on 12/3
At VPC on 12/5
At dealer by 12/8 (I hope)

Total of 51 days from order date if I get it this Friday.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

fifty something days? OH GOD, it would be Christmas/New Year time. No body will let me pick up the car!

I guess I can pick it up on Jan 2007... it seems like a very long time to me...

How come you are getting rid of the LS460? I heard that car was amazing (from a technological standpoint). Congrats on the new 550. They are sweet!

Whoops, my bad! I meant LS 430. It is a '04 model and is coming off a 3 year lease.
