Excitement and question

i recently put on order a C350 but the build and delivery time was roughly about 3 months since they didn't have a car with the specs that i wanted, so instead i purchased a 2013 C350 coupe in Diamond White,premium package, sport package and the driving assistance seniors package which was available . After taxes the car set me back roughly $67,000 CAD.

The salesperson told me my car is in the port of Germany heading over to Canada.They said i should get delivery of the car by the end of September. My question is has anyone had their car shipped from Germany to the US or Canada? how long did it take ? I am really excited and i am hoping the salesperson isnt peeing on my leg and telling me its raining.

Congratulations! Great car! It'll be worth the wait, even it takes a little while, but I know the feeling...the wait can drive you nuts.

Depending on where you are in Canada, it can take several weeks. Mine took about a month to make it over from Halifax to Calgary. I suspect it would be quicker if it only has to cross a couple of Provinces. You can track your car if you put your VIN in the cargo ID number at this link: https://att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb/o...uickSearchPage

Once it lands in Halifax, it has to clear customs and then get picked up by the carrier who brings it over. Mine came across on rail, then it was picked up by another carrier (Hansens in Calgary).

Let's see some snaps when you get it.
