So the cars were offloaded in Baltimore today (5/5). Is it weird that I'm hoping the weather is nice for it. Baltimore's harbor area is a fun place to visit.

Anyone have experience on how long it takes from port to dealer? Mine has to go to Buffalo.

Mine still doesn't say that it has discharged. Only about half of them say that they discharged on 5.2.08. I wonder what is up with that. You would think that if some were discharged, they all were.

as of 12noon my yellow\black passion has not been offloaded, looks as though I will be receiving my car a year to the date that I first reserved it(5/22/07)

curtis · 05-05-2008, 10:18 AM

uncle tony, be happy I ordered March 30th '07 and mine took the same boat as yours

I went to the cargo status tracking site and it was updated today:
DISCHARGED BALTIMORE, MD 02/05/2008 13:00
LOADED ON VESSEL BREMERHAVEN 21/04/2008 16:00
RECEIVED AT TERMINAL BREMERHAVEN 21/04/2008 15:59
BOOKED BREMEN 11/04/2008 11:32

ETA: I misread those crazy European backwards dates. I guess it was discharged on 5/2 (Friday).

the ship has approx. 50 cars on board as of this posting and has sailed to the new york area, so the wait continues.

uncletony · 05-07-2008, 09:37 AM

Just checked in with ship tracking, and according to latest update ALL vehicles were offloaded at Baltimore. The last 50 were delivered 5/01/08 go figure

looks like now is the time to start bugging your dealer(and mine) HEY WHERE's MY CAR!!!.

I stopped at my dealer yesterday and he brought up a big list of cars that were on the Hoegh Asia, Although I know my car was aboard he couldn't find it in the list of cars at port which to him meant it was put on a truck already and should be on the way to Milwaukee Smartcenter...
Hey Uncle Tony, when did you reserve?

also, BrokenKid, have you heard any thing on your end, you may get yours quicker since you are alot closer to Baltimore than me.

No word yet. I'm not real pleased with my dealership, which hasn't been returning my phone calls. But my neighbor's family owns a dealership, and he says the dealer knows when the car is loaded on the truck and when they expect the truck to come in...
