Anyone's build beng finalized this week?
#16
My build is in quality control now and a VIN is supposed to be issued within the next day or two. My dealer indicates that the system cannot tell which vessel it will be loaded on. Do you know how to get this information? Is anyone else in the same timing and will know which vessel their car will be loaded onto?
Thanks!
Thanks!

My situation has moved quickly and to my advantage - my car was one week late getting manufactured, but since then everything went very well. It's a cabriolet so it will probably be one of the first coming into this country. It was manufactured on Feb 28 and made the ship on Mar 1 which then immediately sailed. You should get the name of the ship from your dealer and then you can track it on this website - http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/; it's pretty cool but once the ship is in the open sea, it is "out of range" so you have to get it in the first couple of days that it leaves Bremen. In my case, the website told me that the ship (the Cougar Ace - google it so see it's very interesting history, 4,800 Mazda's were trashed on board this ship in 2008) will reach Davisville (Quonset Point, RI) on March 13th. From there it will be 1 to 2 weeks (probably two, but since my car was one of the last on the ship, maybe it will be one of the first off). It's a tough wait, and there are two many variables to accurately predict the actual delivery. Good luck!

That is great! I can't wait to see pictures - it should be stunning - and during the day it will be just warm enough for top-down some days. We all think of convertibles in the summer and they are great for summer nights. But for daytime, the spring and fall are where they are best.

Congrats on your new car Newman and for its imminent and safe arrival.
I found out today that my VIN has been issued and it will move to port likely within the next week or so. My dealer is still stating that their system cannot show the ship its on.
AG991-Since we may be on a similar schedule, please let me know when your dealer gives you your boat's name. Thanks!

Absolutely. Congrats on the VIN. How l long was it from going into QC until today when the VIN was issued? Seems like you are a few days ahead of me. And, I assume our cars will not be on the same ship as they are heading to different ports. My dealer's best guess was first two weeks of April.
Do you know for sure we are on different boats? I thought most of them hit the East coast, then Georgia, Texas...

I will check the website. How does the car show on the website - under what tab?
I hope that this means that your new 991 is in transit - I can't wait to see pictures! I will post as I learn more and I look forward to hearing more about your upcoming delivery!

go to the porscheusa.com website and click on the dealer search tab. Then, pick your dealer and you will be directed to the porscheusa official dealer website (which is often different from their own site). Then click under new cars and 911. This will show their inventory of cars on the lot plus in transit cars. It will also show cars which have been built to customer specs (like ours), which presumably have already been pre-sold.

Just got my VIN today and the Porsche site now says completed - according to my salesman. 2 days, just like yours. Not showing on the dealers website yet, but I can't help but be encouraged.
