Spoke to my dealer today, he said my car should be in before week's end. He told me it's common for a few days wait while they consolidate vehicle loading on a transporter, especially at the tail end of the week. My car is still in Baltimore too.

I agree, waiting stinks.

Mulroney sticker is the "MSRP window sticker" required by law to be on all new cars sold in the USA. I've asked a friend at the dealership to check into the delay on our cars. I'll let you know what I found out as soon as I hear.

Got a call back from my friend at the dealership, who called Baltimore. He said that there is just a transport backup, no particular issue with our S cars. They are also waiting for shipment on other non-turbo Porsches which are in Baltimore. There seems to be a backup with the transport company (Porsche only uses a specialized enclosed captive system). He said that our cars should ship in the next 2-3 days.

Hope this helps. Waiting stinks

certainly does stink! so i guess it just amounts to a lack of trucks available to transport the cars... i hope ours get preference!

Sorry to get off track but it is the Monroney sticker named after Senator Monroney. See here: http://www.phs-online.com/window%20s...nformation.htm

Sorry for the easy pun
I am sure all your cars are fine
I will be returning mine to the factory,and they will be shipping it to Naples,Fla...in 8 to 10 weeks,so its inevitable that delays will occur
Best of luck to you guys

Got an email from dealer, who is waiting for 9 cars, today. Said he spoke to Porsche. They blame the problem on the trucking company. Thought that my car would be on truck this afternoon. Hopefully yours will be too.

You would think that they would want to get the cars to us so that they could get our money. Must be the new VW cash flow model.
