Phil,It completed production on 3/16 and I been calling the dealer everyday but status shows completed production. Someone in another forum said they might have not updated the computers and we might see the cars very soon as it happened to him. Good point on the DVD, I will call them tomorrow as I have the VIN#. . Last time I had to wait a week before I got the DVD. Thanks.

Is your car showing the ONVESL (On Vessel) status? When I last checked late last week my cab was still only showing CMPPRD (Vehicle completed production). I am assuming that our cars should both be on the same ship. I plan on calling Newport Porsche within the next couple of days if I don't hear from them to determine if my car is finally on a ship. I was able to get a VIN from them last week. If you are getting the Navigation system, make sure your dealer orders the DVD now so it will arrive before your car. The dealer has to have the VIN before they can order the disc.

How do you obtain the status of your vehicle (such as ONVESL, CMPPRD) please? Is there a web site or does the dealer track for you on their computer system?
Thanks.

Phil,got to the website and inputed the VIN and nothing. I then tried another Vehicle from my dealership that shows status of ONVSL and no luck finding that either.

...After researching this a little more, I am convinced that this steamship line only handles Porsches to the east coast. I have been trying to find out who handles them to the west coast, but I have not been successful. I went to the Port of San Diego website and there are two auto carriers inbound from Europe, but there wasn't any VIN tracing program available. The ships were from NYK Lines.
As of today my dealer said the status of my car still shows completed only. The salesman said they have about 5 other cars showing the same status.
If our VIN's mean anything, your car is 14 cars ahead of mine.
I will call my dealer again early next week if I don't hear from them before that.

Porsche to the west coast are transported on VWT ships (Volkswagen Transport). The are no VIN locators and you cannot track VWT ships like many others.

The dealer Main contact was not in today and I couldn't get the ship name. Maybe tomorrow. The bad news is that Porsche has changed their policy and will not release the cars from the port until the dealer pays the invoice and their check is cashed. In the past the dealers paid the invoice after the car was delivered. The new process takes 7-8 days and sometimes up to 2 weeks. Looks like some of the dealers were not paying on time so we are all being punished. Damn.
