Car is on its way

First post. Reserved mid April 2007, configed in Nov. 2007.
According to our dealer the car is on a ship to the US.
We will pick it up in Pittsburgh (from central PA). So - about
a year from res to receiving. Red/black pure.

Have only seen one smart in this area so far - a blue/silver pure

Just be prepared. That first communication is letting you know that your car will get on a boat in 30days. It then traverses the great Atlantic, then hits harbour, then customs, then trucked to dealership. 45-90 days. Expect 90.
Congrats!! Mine came into Baltimore last week and is on a truck right now!

It only took 2-1/2 weeks from my 30 day notice for it to reach the east coast. My guess is it is closer than you think

I received a call last week, this week I got the VIN Number, tracked it and it is due to arrive in Baltimore on 4/6, so unless there are any delays it should be here soon.

When I checked the data for the ship, there were 611 smart vins listed. There are also guys on a couple of BMW boards tracking their cars on the same ship

Is there somewhere I can enter my VIN for tracking purposes?

Remember, if you're not getting your car via Baltimore this won't work for you. Where is City by the Lake?
