Just ordered a new E 350
Soo i just got back from the local MB dealer and i ordered a white E350 sedan.. the salesman said "its on the water" as in its on a boat on the way to the port, he said it should be in at the end of the month. Does any1 have experience with this situation? I'm just curious how long its going to take to come in.. im very anxious

If you just ordered it, how could it be on a ship already? Did you take a car that had been ordered for dealer inventory?

About 3-4 weeks from the time it shipped until the time we took delivery.
It's ~5000 miles (Germany to DC-rough estimates) at ~23mph so figure 10 consecutive days at sea. Then it has to be unloaded but it may or may not be at the first port, then port has to inspect it and I would guess customs has to clear it. Then it's a mix of trucks and trains to get it to you.
