Was your car on the Euphony Ace? Because that is what mine is on and it just left Brunswick on that day and is headed to the Panama thru the canile before making its way to Long Beach within the next 10-13 days.

Yes, hopefully there is not a sickness going around on the ship.

MITCH1975

They don't seem to be in a hurry to get us our new cars......or am I just impatient?
Cruise ships go faster than these cargo ships......LOL

I've got 2 GLCs sitting in Bremerhaven port for just over a week now. Twice as impatient, but the SA has been great in checking the status every day. Guessing won't arrive here till the end of April.

JEVA

*SIGH* as of this morning per the SA, still not assigned to a ship. I don't mind waiting per se, but it's harder to wait when you have no real timeline. My wife's X3 arrives in port in Baltimore today.

With respect to JEVA's situation... something wrong with that picture. My GLC was made on the 11th and was sent to the port quickly, "assigned to ship" quickly and aboard ship by the 17th, underway shortly after.

Could be circumstances with respect to destinations etc. that we're not aware of, but it sure sounds strange. I'd be concerned that it may have been damaged and being repaired; but, I tend to be a worry wart about those kinds of thing.

The VIN number should be available for search. The SA gave me the VIN number shortly after production

Good luck with it...

MITCH1975

I swear this is the slowest ship I've seen. JEVA, at least yours is coming to the east coast. I had to watch mine go all the way around. Off the coast of Ensenada, Mexico now. It takes a week after leaving the Panama Canal. Patience Grasshopper.

Our 2 GLCs sat at the port for a week, but are now on the water and headed for Baltimore, but we have to wait for the ship to go to Charlestown, then Brunswick. From Brunswick they'll be transported back to Virginia Beach. Hoping to pickup by 4/14.

My situation was similar to everyone else's. Car built on Jan 27. Bremerhaven Jan 29. On ship Feb 3. Brunswick Feb18. Dallas Feb 22. If I were Joe, I would talk to someone above his SA to find out exactly what is going on. His car should be going to Baltimore VPC. Plenty of ships going their on a regular basis.

JEVA

Yeah, thoughts of damage etc have been swirling in my head as well but the SA maintains there is a backlog at the port. I have no way to validate so I have to take it at face value. I wouldn't think there would be a reason for him to be disingenuous about it.
I know other cars have shipped during this time that were complete at the same time or after mine but there are other variables like destination, etc so can't necessarily use that as a guide.

I've had the VIN since 3/1 when I was told it was complete and at port.

MITCH1975

Mine did sit at the port for 2 weeks waiting for a ship. Then the ship got delayed by a week on the arrival time. That probably put everything else behind. I guess that's why you buy what's on the lot.....HA HA! Got a call last night from the SA saying my car would be ready for pick up on Saturday, this I got to see since the ship isn't arriving till Saturday.
I'll keep you posted.

My GLC, which had a build date of March 3, is now on the Marguerite Ace, currently in the English Channel. Expected arrival at the Port of Los Angeles is April 24. Does anyone else in this thread have a car on that boat?

MB190

Yes, we have 2 GLCs on there. They'll arrive in Brunswick, GA on 4/7, then need to be transported to Virginia Beach, VA. We're counting down the days now.

MITCH1975

I can't believe it. It's here, I pick it up Saturday I have actually seen it, no more guessing. Yeah!
Pics to follow.

BigDeeLA

Your car arrived the same day the ship got there? What dealer do you have? Did it come to Long Beach Port?

MITCH1975

Guess I was following the wrong ship. My dealership really had no way of tracking it closely so I was making a guess on what ship it was on. I believe it came in to port on the 21st and by the time it went through customs and then put on a truck, presto. Guess I would make a really bad detective. First pics.

BigDeeLA

Looks GOOD! Especially at night. Is your dealer in the LA area too? So if it got to the port on the 21, and it got to your dealer on the 25, Friday night, that was pretty quick. Just wondering how far your dealer is from the Long Beach port

index1489

Anyone else have a VIN for a week and still nothing showing up on WWL?

I also checked new inventory on my dealers lot with 2/16 build dates and those VIN's don't show up....

I did a wildcard search and found cars with tracking history from 6 months ago delivered, so lost

Also you guys sure its going to Long Beach? I thought they went to Port Hueneme to avoid traffic and custom delays. Didn't know they had a VPC in LB.

dieseldoc

Not all cars are shipped by WW. Mine and many others are shipped on other lines. Mine was on a MoLroro.

MB190

While you can't track by VIN, you can at least narrow down the ships within an expected time frame on the MOL site. With the status changes that my SA was giving me from NetStar, I had narrowed it down to the exact ship. A couple days later the SA verified I was correct. http://www.molroro.com/MOLVesselSchedule.aspx

dieseldoc

Your SA can actually tell you what ship your car is placed on. MY SA did then I used marine traffic and vessel finder to track it.

Looks beautiful, mitch1975. Please post us your thoughts after having driven it a while. Mine is on order, but I may ask the dealer to wait until 2017 comes. I'm considering diesel.

MITCH1975

I am in Phoenix AZ. Picked up the car yesterday and so far it's nice. I do have to say there is a lot of wind noise at freeway speeds. I thought the AC fan was on high. Going to the dealer on Monday to see if they can do something. It does not have the acoustical side glass. The car is quiet and rides nice around town. Be sure to reset your tire pressure as they tend to set it too high.

Mickfx

Very nice!

At what speed did the wind noise become very noticeable?

MITCH1975

I think it started above 60 mph.
