I can not stand to wait any longer

My new C55 was at the port Vehicle Prep Center in Baltimore on the 10th of November and my dealer keeps telling me its on the way. Its ridiculous, Baltimore to NY takes more than 2 weeks. Did my car fall off the platform and they are putting it back together? Never had to wait this long with my pre-ordered BMWs or Audis. Should I be concerned that they are fixing it b/c they saw problems?

Mine arrived in port in Halifax on Oct 26th and the dealere had it in Toronto on the 29th ready for delivery on the 30th. My dealer wanted to rush it so they could enter the sale on the books for October. You would think your dealer would be thinking the same thing.....

Good luck and hang in there. Its worth the wait. They should be able to tell you exactly where the car is and an exact delivery time so get on them..

My car was delivered to my dealer almost a week after arriving at the VPC.

Mine was in stock, waited one day between decision to purchase and delivery and only because I didn't have time for the paper work the night I decided to buy it. Waiting sucks ***.

Call them, as mentioned above, the sooner the car is delivered the sooner they get paid.

I'm glad it all worked out..I would have hated to see you wait until tomorrow. The extra 2 days would have been murder.

Have fun,,,,Post some pics of the maple trime when you get a chance
