How to track the car you have ordered?

[hcvo1]

Quick question: My dealer has told me the VIN is only processed after the car has been built. Can anyone confirm this from their own purchase/experience? Thanks

Yep that is correct, you will not get your VIN until the car has been built and even then give it a few days...

The last i heard from my dealer, the ship with my GTI was due in Sydney on 30-May-2010

Anyone else waiting on a car on this shipment?
Anyone know what the boat is called... or if it's still on schedule for the 30th ?

Either ask your dealer for the VIN number or check the port authority website to see what ships are due on the 30th for the name.

For those waiting for cars the TOSCANA is back in range and off the cost of cape town in south africa.

It doesn't look to be delayed just yet. It is still scheduled for a 14th of June docking in Melbourne.

Well I don't know what ship my car is on, but I was told it's due on the 30th May.... which is Sunday
I wouldn't think VW would have 2 ships due on consecutive days so that's probably mine too

actually.... Melbourne you say ? hmm I dunno then

Both the Oberon and Asian Dynasty are due into Melbourne on 31/5.

Hi guys, just got my VIN from the dealer but it is not showing up on the tracker yet. I presume there is a gap between getting your VIN and the car making it onto the ship, hence the delay. Correct ?

Correct.. Give it a week and it should show up. There'll be a bit of a delay as the car to be transported to the docks and then for the shipping company to upload the information once the car has been loaded onto a vessel.

Thanks for the confirmation.
