Dealer should have ship listed on same printout as vin. Check some of the threads for ships that have already been to port. The people who have their car already know the details of delivery.

James, I looked over the thread and the following boat is not listed. Any chance you could drum up some info? I tried vesseltracker and marine traffic and that did not work for me.

Sunbelt Spirit

My car is on the Bellona; I haven't been able to track that too. Any chances that's showing up?

[Rainingblood]

and how were you able to track the ship with your new car?

thanks

Not in range yet. Did your dealer give you an ~date? I'm making a note of it but I usally check them all once a day.

For other poster:
Post #1 has my list of links for ships and trackers.
Read thru the posts to see how we are doing this.

She said it would arrive in port around July 15th, so maybe that's why. Thanks for checking!

Just back from NY. Was hoping to get a picture of a car carrier at the dock in Newark from I-78 as I went by but nobody was home. Saw several Lexus (IS 350)truck loads head west across PA on I-78, I-81, I-76, and I-70. Maybe off the Century Leader 3?

OOooohhhh. My dealer in Plano, TX said a car allocated to them should arrive at port Monday, so I hope it is on that ship. I REALLY thought he was blowing smoke since he didn't know a vessel name, VIN#, nothing, and said I should have it between 15-30 days. That made me think they were just putting me on a list.
