My EB/B MCS was built on 4/4/03 and has been awaiting transport for over a week. I was just wondering what the average time has been for the the next few stages of the waiting game.

Went to the dealer and told them I needed another 'fix' to get me through till delivery. I've been in so many times they just toss me the keys to a MCS when I come through the door. Every time I take one out it seems I enjoy it more than the last time. Can't wait till I get mine.

Where are you? It depends on how the stars line up for you. Not really....but when is the next ship leaving...how many days to your port?

My delivery was to California. Amazingly, my car was built on 2/4, on the train to port 2/6, on the boat and shipped 2/10....then 3 weeks to Port Huenume in California. That is where it really got slow... 20 days from arrival at port to delivery in San Francisco. Many other's with production dates the same as mine had their cars 2 weeks earlier (on the East coast) and even 1 week earlier (on the West coast). Anyway it came down to 47 days for me. Now I've had my baby 3 weeks, and I've forgotten all about that waiting!

Bustov, you could be asking this in The April Club! I've been wondering where you went anyway...Congrats on finally moving to Status 190!

katcal gave a great answer, btw The wait is quite varied! Mine took about a month from built to delivered (150 on 03/06, delivered 04/09)

See you in The April Club!

Cheers,
Ryan
