Car's status

Posted way back by a Dealership:
Quote:
Once smart 1 has released the information to us, we review each name (and VIN# if available) against the production schedule. Customers are then notified of the status of their car in the following sequence:
C = In production [if there is a VIN# the vehicle is 30-45 days out from port. If not, 45-60 days out]
D = Shipped [this indicates the release of the vehicle to the shipping company in France- 15-30 days out form port]
1= In Port [this indicates that the vehicle has arrived in the US but has not had the final inspection completed and has not yet been released to ground transportation for delivery to the dealer- 10-15 days out]
5 = In Route [vehicle is released to ground transportation- 7-10 days out]
In stock= It is here! [PDI is started- 3-5 days to deliver]

I was given a status "C" today.

In the entire process, I was only informed of my 'code' twice ... both in the final weeks before delivery. I was never able to track it crossing the ocean either. Seemed like the end game all happened so quickly!

Well, I have a pretty good relationship with my dealer. Have been in a lot talking with them and what not. I am thinking that every dealers time for cars to show up is different. Round Rock gets them pretty fast. Unless you know others from your area that have dates, that they kept track of, then it might be hard to see when your dates are. I have times when stuff showed up, and figured it out from then. So you might be able to post a question from that grp of ppl that ordered and picked up from your dealer.

Thanks JPaul, next is to call the VA Beach dealer to get more info. I "believe" it is similar to being pregnant. You are going in to your ninth month and trying to get as many answers as possible.
