Arrived into Port Hueneme, Ca. today - Now what???

My car shows as arriving and departing today into Port Hueneme, Ca. Does this mean that the dealer in Escondido, Ca. will be receiving my car tomorrow? Or does it take a few days for it to be trucked from the port to the dealer? Anyone have any idea?

Thanks for the help.

Another NFR. WOOT!

You are much calmer than I was when I was at your stage of the delivery process. Kudos!

How many miles from the VDC is your dealer? Did the VDC have to install anything?

Mine was at the VDC in California on 7/29. I am suppose to pick it up 14th of August. It was one of the last ones loaded on the ship and one of the last ones to the dealer. I had nothing installed at the VDC and the dealer said it was not damaged either, just happened to be one of the last ones trucked up to the Northwest.

Distance between Port and dealership

Hi Supergreg-
The dealership is about 3 hours away from the Port. I don't believe that the VDC had to install anything. I wasn't told that they would need to. How would I know?

It wouldn't surprise me if your dealer gets it Fri or Sat. Go back to the Owners Lounge and recheck your status. If it says "at distribution center", click on order detail. It will then give you an estimated delivery date . The VDC would install things like sport stripes, JCW aero kit, or driving lights.
