Mine arrived at the dealer today, they said they could have it ready by tomorrow to pick up, which is pretty amazing. I'll likely be picking it up on Friday though.

Wow...you're either out of town, or you have the patience of a sloth.
I called my dealer saying "Is it ready, is it ready?" "Can I come get it yet?"

Do Audis/VWs normally get to Chile by ship or by rail or roadway from another country?
OK, ship now in Newark, next stop Baltimore. I'm guessing then on to Miami, somewhere in Mexico and then through the Panama Canal down to me in Chile. Perhaps a stop in Colombia and Peru first. Still at least 4 weeks to go I reckon!

Good luck with that! My car was also on board the Grand Venus; currently in transit to the dealership. I'm hoping I can pick it up on Saturday.

Grand Venus left jacksonville, steamed past the Florida Keys and on its way to Houston. The damn car has visited more places in the US than I have!

Didn't get the car this past weekend. The dealer said, "there are many cars like it at the port and they have to sort it out." Still don't know where the car is at this point. I'm pretty disappointed with the dealer.
