Mine was on the same boat. It's booked in for delivery on the 16th. That's 17 days from the boat arriving until delivery.

How long to get off the docks?

Does any know the average time it takes to get off the docks from Melbourne? I heard Melbourne is way quicker than say Sydney (Port Kembla) or Brisbane.

MIne took 3 weeks and 2 days from docking in Melb to delivery in Sydney. This included a dealer swap and happened in the midst of all the recent strike action.

Looks like average times are not that bad at the moment then.... fingers crossed....

Tuesday - today spoke to my dealer... car has arrived, just getting rego organised. Going for standards EURO white (extra long) plates front and back since it is a CW car - picking up on Friday morning..... woo hooo!!!

Not bad - ordered Mid March, arrived May 28, keys in hand 17 June - about 3 months!

Have the check list ready for pre-delivery checks, gotta get the bank cheque and sign the rego papers and brrooooom....

Spoke to dealer again - plates organised, going on today, tried to get them to throw in rear cargo rubber mat, GTI embossed carpets and iphone cable but no luck! Also said the GTI and R come with embossed carpets already as standard.... will see huh? tomorrow is the day, insurance cover sorted, bank cheque ready ....

Did anyone have their car on the Oberon that's currently in Australian waters? My car was on it & got unloaded at Port Kembla on the 12th, but now that the tracking shows up as "Discharged" I'm at a loss to figure out where to look for my car. I guess it'll turn up at the dealer's in 2-3 weeks, but just thought I'd check to see if there's any one else who had their car on the Oberon. I still have to wait for a dealer car swap before the car starts its journey to Melbourne....

Once it's off the boat, there is no way that you can track it. All you can do is request an update from the dealer once a week...

... though they often can't tell you anything from Patricks anyway

yeah mines on the oberon too buddy, got told today patricks have not yet processed the inventory. my car has to come down to melbourne and he said end of june is looking quite realistic.

[Hoops]

I just checked my invoice and I don't have a VIN number on the invoice. The dealer told me the car is due to arrive at the end of July, early August at the latest. Should I be worried that they didn't put the VIN on the invoice? or is it standard for the dealer to only give it to you when/if you ask?

[sanigav]

yeah i only got my vin when i asked..
