Congrats! What color and specs? And how on earth can the delivery mileage be "0"? I've never heard of that - they always seem to have about 4-5 miles on them at the least.

It actually had 000.2 on the trip odo. Interlagos Blue, silverstone with Walnut and it looks better than I had hoped although the leather is really alot lighter than I expected and had I been able to see it befor ordering I might have gone with black. HUD, rear heat, sunshade, and rear bags. Pics tomorrow!

Hey Max. Mine is not yet on a ship - it's at the port awaiting a ship. I see that the WW Integrity departs Bremerhaven on 11/21 and arrives in SC on 12/8, or the K Lines Franconia departs on 11/22 and arrives on 12/7. I expect to be on one of those two ships which would put my car through the VPC and to my dealer shortly thereafter. I'm planning to pick it up if all goes well on the 19th of December. Your dealer contact should be able to tell you what ship yours is on and you can look up the ship schedules to determine the expected dates. Cheers. Tom.

Enjoy your new beast. As for you LA guys. I would like to see your cars when they get in. I will be looking for your posts as they are backed off the car carriers! Thanks.

So, is your dealer local?

I know that mine will be delivered at the Oxnard port. Thanks for your info.

No. Sorry, by "SC" I meant South Carolina. I'll be picking it up outside St. Louis and bringing is back home to the land of MSRP ++++++

That's great. I got lucky. I got mine at msrp from a local dealer. My friends dad is best friends with the owner of the dealership. I didn't have to wait on a waiting list either. I placed my order on 9-3-05 for a December delivery.
