It takes 3 to 4 days to build one from the actual build date and then 5 to 6 weeks (if everything goes well without delay in the port) to reach the delaership. Mine is a Dec 2 build. Expecting a mid-Jan 2011 arrival for pick up.

I am not sure about cars for the southeast, but there is a real hang up for cars coming into the northeast. Something about cars coming to a different port and combining services with VW/Audi. My Cayenne took about 2 weeks from build date to arriving at the port.

I noticed people have mentioned tracking the build and the ship. Does the dealer provide you that information?

Yes on the build. There are codes that are attached to the vehicle that tell the status of the car all along the cycle from order to arrival at the dealership. The dealer can check this at anytime. A list of the codes is attached. The dealer can tell you what ship it is on and when it is scheduled to arrive in port. There are web sights that allow the tracking of the ship while moving. Not sure what they are.

Build dates are estimates, and may be delayed. My build date was originally 8/26, but was delayed till a complete date of 9/14.
Your dealer will be able to obtain the vessel name for you to track. I used the site:www.marinetraffic.com, though there are other sites. Or, just google the name of the ship. Google will find your vessel and the tracking site for you. (Interestingly, the vessel, Wisteria Ace, has currently just passed the Panama Canal, delivering more Porsches to the port of Hitachi, Japan [If you google the name of the vessel, you can find its location]) My Cayenne was loaded onto the vessel in Bremerhaven, Germany on 9/17. I was able to track it across the English Channel, but lost it in the Atlantic. There were no updates on the vessel till it hit Nova Scotia. Arrived in port 10/1 according to the website, Davisville, RI. However, the dealer stated that the official port arrival date was 10/3.
However, the Cayenne has been languishing at the port, and has still not arrived at the dealership in Danbury, CT, as of today. It is actually taking longer for the Cayenne to get from RI to CT, than it took for it to cross the Atlantic (16 days)
Today is 10/19, so 19 days later, it still has not reached the dealership from the neighboring state. Very frustrating!
My first Porsche in '08 was delivered in a much quicker fashion. It was delivered to the Baltimore, MD dock. If I recall, it took less than two weeks to process and deliver the vehicle up to Danbury, CT, once it arrived at the port.

Thanks. That is very helpful as I have an estimated completion date of 11/5 and was hoping to have it in South Florida by the endo of November.
Time to temper my enthusiasm.
