I left a message, and I'm waiting for my CA to get back to me, but I have a very good feeling that my car is on this ship. Seems fitting too, since I'm in Florida.

Do you know the date you got shipped? My CA emailed me a PDF document with all the details, Ship name, port of exit, shipping company, port of arrival, etc.

Hmm, that much info would be nice to know. Until my CA gets back to me, I won't know for sure. All I've had to go off of is the website and the 800 number. But I also started looking for all the ship departures from Bremerhaven for the month of April to try to figure out on my own what ship it might be on. The vehicle status was updated to En-route after the 18th. I put my VIN through the WW tracking and nothing came up, so I figured it had to be on one of the K-Line ships that departed around the same time.

yeh sounds like it might be on the florida highway. I dont understand why is it taking your CA so long. Just call him up and ask what ship is it on? Which dealership did you order from?

She hasn't been in yet this week, so I'm just waiting for a call back when she gets in. I ordered from Braman in Palm Beach.

Yep, my car's production was finished around the same time as yours.

I hope they worst fast too... so excited! I have a question regarding the tracker/1-800. How do you find out the date that each "phase" ended? For instance, how do I know when my production ended/what day it shipped? If I call the 1-800 and ask for a person will they have the information or only my CA?
