I'm not sure what the real story is, but that's the one my MA was told. He's been straightforward with me so far, so I have no reason not to believe him. I'm wondering what's really going on at the VDC though. They told my MA last Wednesday that it would be back on a carrier by Friday. He called today and they told him to call back later this week. Who knows what's going on with it... I'm just a little aggravated that it's taking so long to get it headed back this way...

I know that they do body work at the VDC for cars that are damaged more than a simple scratch. If I remember right, I saw a picture or a video or something where they were replacing a whole roof. But, I would think that the dealership could've handled a scratch.

Ordered 1/14 ? I ordered in August, after many issues it was reordered 1/1 and I am still waiting.....

Why'd you have to reorder? Was it your choice or something you were forced to do because things were messed up so bad? What's the latest status on yours? Seems you should have the newly ordered one by now if you ordered on 1/1. Hopefully mine doesn't take that long and hopefully you get yours soon!

Oxtox - sorry to hear about the bum nav...at least that should be an easy fix that shouldn't take too long.
08dsmcs - the first one was ordered in August and came in with minor damage that needed to be fixed, then I was otld the EPA had not certified the car yet....after lots of phone call and networking with nameless people, I was told the car was lost at the vdc (but my dealership was never told this). I waited 4 months (9/1 build date) and at the close of 2007 my dealership agreed that we should just reorder. So I re-ordered first thing January and came in on the Elektra with Oxtox's BRG 'vert. I am hoping my car goes to Princeton by the end of this week -- my dealership has asked for a rush on it (obviously) but there is a lot getting done at the VDC.
I did do a car fax on the first order....that car still say's the same thing. Customs 9/23/2007 offered for sale 9/25/2007. There you go -- the nutshell version :-)

JCW Aero Kit Install
I made the last-minute decision (last night!) to get the JCW Aero Kit, but figured it was too late to get it installed - plus would add another week or so to the delivery, but called my MA to ask if it could be done anyway.
Turns out, the dealer can order the pre-painted parts, have them overnighted, and install them right away in time for my Saturday delivery - PLUS - I saved a few hundred bucks over having them installed at the VDC!!!

No, it was on the K Line, Ingolstadt. I think it was supposed to dock at Charleston 02/28 but it didn't until 03/01 or so. The car was released from the VDC Tuesday and we hoped it would get on a truck that afternoon...I'll email the MA this morning to get the latest from him.
Was yours on the Faust?

Good news from our MA: We were scheduled to go to Wagonner's transport on the 7th, but actually got picked up on the 4th. He thinks they may have the vehicle by the weekend, ready for delivery for sure by Monday.
Bad news: We won't be ready to take delivery until the 17th or so. We're driving up to Arlington from South Texas.
More bad news: the eternal spring we've had in Texas since September appears to be over, as we've had grey days, drizzle, and freezing temps. This week.

We finally got our Clubman last Tuesday. It was to be delivered on Saturday, but some items on the Clubman were not ready. It was rescheduled for Tuesday delivery. However, that was the day that I had knee surgery. The dealer was nice enough to deliver to our door; now that's service
On the bummer side, I still haven't been able to drive the car (or even take some better pictures). Maybe this weekend.?

I love the color of that car - it would have been my choice, if I didn't already have a red minivan.
