NeedMyFix · 06-22-2009, 02:13 PM

Ok..can anyone tell me the average time it takes to get from the rail yard to your dealer? I've heard anywhere from 48-72hrs. I'm about 1.5 hours from the rail yard and it arrived there today at 1:15PM. I'm feeling the BUZZZZ!!

All I know is I've been in transit forever.

JewelZ · 06-22-2009, 04:33 PM

wow, that must be so hard to deal with!

How did you track it? Mine has been in-transit for a week now and i have no idea how you guys are tracking them. I am guessing I will have to harass my dealer some more.

Well, I actually had an "IN" to find out my railcar number. The thing is, all I keep hearing is that your dealer can call the Dealer Business Center and at the minimum find out exactly where your car is.

Mine arrived at the dealer about 22 hours after being delivered to the railyard.

How far from the railyard was your dealer?

I'd say about 30-40 minutes by truck

I have heard anywhere from same day (no more than a couple of hours) to 3 days.

at my dealership they said the first couple of cars were on a truck pretty much as soon as they got the railyard and from there its only about 20 minutes. The last one to get it at my dealership though took... 48 hours, not even.

there was some rumor that the truck delivery companies were being encouraged to get the cars to the dealership ASAP.

Rumor has it that they are taking turns racing them on 495 and then load them a couple of blocks away to make it look good. I hear that they are planning a big banzi run for later this week

We've been placing bets on the 2LT top speed limiter setting
