I Got My VIN Number Today

I got my VIN number today from the dealer. We're looking at an early November delivery.

Are there any Web sites that I can enter the VIN number into and get the info on the car?

How exciting to think that my car was "born" on International Talk Like A Pirate Day. That's just cool.

Aaaargh Laddy!

I can't see how with just a VIN # that you can track the car's arrival?

My dealer told me that I could track it once I had my VIN# too so not sure what you mean. No different than tracking a package with UPS. Same idea.

Didn't realize anyone would need hand holding....

Open first link and click "Auto Cargo". Enter VIN in the Cargo ID.
All Manufactures use the VIN to track.

Once you have the Vessel name open second link. Enter Ships Name in the bottom space and you can track the ship on the voyage over, Port by Port and open sea's as well.

Could be a couple of things. Typo on the VIN, Car hasn't left the Factory yet or it could be on another carrier. 95% of all MB and BMW use Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics. Very rarely will another carrier be used .

It must be on another carrier as the dealer told me the car was "on the water" and due into Baltimore by the end of the month.

Thanks

Thanks for the info North.

My car will be finished with production on Sept 24th. I should know by the end of this month the exact ship date.

At that point the links you provided will be added to my "favorites."

Per my dealers stats, they show it as Sept. 22nd, Monday for dock arrival in Baltimore. Then it needs to be trucked to NJ which will be a 2 to 3 hr drive from Baltimore. I was advised full delivery turnover by Weds 9/24... We'll see I guess. The weather here looks clear for next week

Excellent. I love the last week before delivery. Running around "high" all week waiting for the call.

Kind of envious....Mine is still 5 weeks away.

Yeah it kinda is, if you've read my previous post with my other horror of a dealer story that I was with for the past 5 months and nearly got screwed at the end but the joke was on them when I pulled the rug from under neath them. I had a back-up car coming in (which i didnt know that it was still on its way) from the NJ dealer....
