Thanks for the info! One last question. The last 4 digets of my vin# are 0466, is there a way to find out the build date, and does anyone know what the cut-off date, or the last sihpping date is before the holiday closure?
Thank you again
According to your earlier message your car was CMPPRD (Vehicle Completed Production) on July 7th. The code that the dealer usually gets that confirms your car has truly completed production, passed inspections, etc. is INVMPG, which means the vehicle has completed production and is at checkpoint 8 which is the finally point before it is ready for shipment. A car can complete production and still not pass by checkpoint 8 for several days since it may not have been roadtested or passed its final inspection before leaving the factory. My car completed production 4 days before it hit checkpoint 8. After checkpoint 8 it is just a matter of getting on board the next ship. It can take another week or so after checkpoint 8 to get on board a ship. I would guess your car has not shipped yet.
Next time you contact your dealer ask if the status has changed to INVMPG or better yet ONVESL (On vessel). Once it leaves Germany it takes about 20 days to get to San Diego.
