Ok...probably like every other person who custom builds and waits for a brand new vehicle, I'm antsy/anxious/impatient. Want it yesterday. Scratch that. Wanted it in June. Of course

I know it was shipped via rail on 8/1. I know the VIN. Is there a way to track it's location or ETA (other than it's supposed to be here within 10 days)?

Frankly, no... 10 day shipping estimate from your dealer is based on their experiece with their other shipments/deliveries.

Darn, but thanks for the response. I assume since I can track my USPS, Fed Ex, UPS, steps, calories, miles and everything else I do these days, I might get lucky and be able to track my new ML....I am so excited I can't stand myself

Make sure you give your dealer proper time after arrival for correct checking/prep..

You bet I will hope to just "visit" my baby and look at it to make sure it's exactly what I expected and then let them do everything necessary. What all goes into the new delivery check/prep? This is my first time ordering a vehicle...

I chose not to initialize MBrace ....but it could be a cool tool to hook new buyers if it was initialized pre-delivery therefore permitting the vehicle to be tracked en route.

Here's some info on new car prep.

The key part of dealer prep is a 2 1/2 hr new car inspection... which many dealers unfortunately choose to shortchange a bit... also check your tire pressures before driving off... I personally recommend 38's..
