The wait is killing me...
I hate bothering the salesman with piddly questions or nagging but...

How long should the car be waiting to clear customs? Its now been a week...

Weird stuff can happen at port.
Some cars will ship to the dealer with a sticker indicating that the 50 miles on the odometer are due to it being selected for EPA/DOT testing.
A car listed as being at port can show up at the dealer the next day.
I saw one car held at port for a month, and another arrive in Illinois three days after entering the country.
In short, there is absolutely no way to predict.

I haven't seen many either, but they are being sold. Globe, Morristown and Ray Catena all have had plenty on their lots.
It was Ironic, but just as i was selling my Golf last Friday, I saw a Coupe EXACTLY like my order driving right next to me. Very Cool!
I can't wait.

Must be a coupe thing...
A day or two after ordering mine, I finally saw one on the road. The very first one I see that's not on a delar's lot, and it was the same color as the one I ordered. Strange because Bordeaux isn't the most popular color out there!
