As I sit here wondering why my car hasn't arrived yet (since I didn't order the Nav, I didn't order a lot of port-installed options, and I was one of the very first people to place an order with my dealer ), I wondered if anyone has been able to make sense of the order in which the cars are arriving at the dealerships??

Are they arriving in the order in which they're listed in the dealer inventory? As a reminder, here's the thread where Rx-Nut showed us how to look up a dealer's inventory:

If they are arriving in that order, then I think I may still have a slim hope of getting my car this week. In the meantime, I'm finding it very hard to concentrate at work between checking my phone for messages every half hour!! :p

 

I don't think those are in any particular order.

The vins in the inventory list for my dealership start

17xx
72xx
77xx
09xx

I am the 09xx. My dealership has received 6 cars already and I have not gotten mine. I would bet the 72xx and 77xx are at least second shipment and haven't reached port in NJ yet (or just very recently have if they are there)

 

Oh well! So much for my theory. My dealership has received 12 cars already and none of them are mine. And according to my salesman, my car was scheduled to arrive on the 15th, so I don't know what's going on! I guess I've given up on trying to predict when my car will arrive. AARRRRGGGHHHH!
