How to track the car you have ordered?

[yyn]

I've post this information on another thread.

I ordered my car on the 28/11/09, the car was build in week 5, it probably left Germany on week 7 and arrived in Melbourne in Week 12 because according to the dealer the car was discharge on the 30/03/2010. Another 2 weeks for customs formalities and 1 week at the dealer for preparation and installation of the bluetooth and tinting. I should be able to pick up my car by week 16. I've waited 5 months for the car but I'm glad the wait is almost over.

Mine didn't arrive on the boat till the 27th. I've been told by Xen to expect it around the 15th April. You might be receiving it sooner than you think!
(Did you need Barloworld to add any extras, because that might slow it down a bit)

I've got dealer fitted window tint but that shouldn't take too long. The salesman hasn't called me in regard to my delivery date at all. I should start calling him up then!

I'm expecting a call at the end of this week to let me know it's arrived. Hoping to go in Saturday morning to look over it before it's registered.

Well spoke to me dealer and he confirmed all the stuff i was worried about in the order.
All good, and he got back to me straight away, great service from barloworld Glen Waverley!

I got a printout from my dealership today in relation to the status of the car apparently there are 27 steps that need to be taken in order for the car to get to you. I have listed them below and a rough indication of the dates for each.

Your list seems to leave out the Australian specific steps between 23 to 26/27. Thinks like quarantine, compliance, adding Australian specific requirements like the child restraints, etc etc.

Yes I have thought about that as well, but that is the email I got from my dealership... add 3 weeks to when the car actually lands in Australia
