why does this happen ?
Car supposedly came in to port of Rhode Island (confirmed by dealer) on Feb 14, 2009 . Order placed on Oct 1, 2008. And STILL HAVEN'T LEFT. Dealer keeps telling me car is still there. After reading all the forums it seems that it should take approx 2 weeks (max) Whats going on?? anyway to check via website. Any help appreciated....

I have no real clue and am not educated on this subject, but if I were to guess it would be b/c...
of the back up in all the ports right now. Especially with the economy, there are probably less people working at the ports to save money. Don't worry, it will come through.

Re: why does this happen ?
I would say, and only a uneducated guess, that perhaps they (The Dealer) cannot justify the transportation cost until they can fill a trailer?
When I ordered and received mine it took little over a week (10 days) to get it from port. BTW, it arrived in Houston and then was transported to Denver.

Wes Z... Hopefully that doesn't happen. This is getting ridiculous. He's got my VIN he tells me today. I'm like.. and ..... when are you getting the car..... "im hopeful within the next few days" . has been telling me that for the past week. Hopefully the rest of you guys are correct and port is backed up with little to no workers. At this point the wait is almost ... I repeat almost... unbearable!!!
thanks to all that helped. sorry for the sob story!
