about 90 days. I had to cancel one appointment to pick them up and may need to cancel my next appointment that's scheduled on the 21st. They will only hold them for a while so I will have to go back to the DMV and extend the hold

I placed my order on Dec 5 and haven't received anything from them yet. Hope all is well, did Udo give you any new info or is it the same old story of I don't know anything until it gets here. See if he can tell you what ship it is on, some people in LA have been getting that info from their dealer. Then I can try to locate the ship and get its schedule.

I called back today. No VIN# yet.
Which is kind of weird. You would think the car would have been built or assigned a Vin by now to get here within a month and a half.
Hmmm....

Are all your cars coming into Long Beach,? LN commented once that only one car was offloaded and the rest went south. If a new shipment of cars arrived in SD, LN should have some as well. But the Lot was empty last night. Patience Patience Patience

Shanna, I'm in the same boat, hard to beleave people after me are getting their car before me. Looks like the process is all over the place. Why can't they tell us the information that directly relates to our vehicles.

That is soooo not right. 1187s getting cars at the same place 1180's are still waiting. I'd place a call to The Head Guy ... Schrembre or whatever his name is. Something has gone haywire in their quality control as an organization.
