Question The wait is killing me...

I hate bothering the salesman with piddly questions or nagging but...

What does "Waiting to clear customs" mean?

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.

Mine took one whole day to clear!

P.S. If you do die waiting, can I have your car? I'd love a spare!:p

Hey WEbGuyNJ where in NW NJ are you? I'm in Chester. I haven't seen too many C Coupes around this area so you may be the first.

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!

Was at Catena's this past Saturday. My build date is scheduled for 5/3. Delivery looks to be approximately 6/20. Be happy that yours is at least in the states. :p
