How do I Track my 2009 B from the Factory??

[jordanb]

Hi All

Just the recieved VIN for my new B. The VIN is WDDFH34X49J395275. How do I track the production and delivery of my car?

Thanks

Go to this site and enter the VIN under "Customer Centre>Cargo Tracking>Auto Cargo": Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics - worldwide ocean transport, inland services, supply chain solutions

It's not been shipped yet.

Hey Jordanb - What's your dealer telling you about '09 pricing? Seems nuts to me that they're building these things and starting to ship them without setting the price (and leasing terms, etc). Also - what are they saying regarding delivery date in Toronto?
I ordered mine in early May (I think??) and haven't received VIN yet - I'm using your case to put some pressure on my dealer to get me more info!
Thanks, Brad

Hey Brad

Do not have pricing yet either. I am told I will recieve the car t the end of July, early August. My dealer is Garden Motorcar in Burlington Ontario

So you've ordered a car without a final price then ? a very brave move I would have thought.

[jordanb]

I had an out clause built into the sales contract that the car has to be no greater in price than the best price i had negotiated for a 2008 with the same options. The downside is if the 2009s are cheaper...

If the 2009 is cheaper, then you insist on the cheaper price - or walk away from the deal.

Wise move Jordan and Beeclasses suggestion makes sense.

[jordanb]

agreed. just hope i don't have to wait too long.

my one regret is color. should have gone for the brown. saw an sl on friday in that brown and it looks awesome

Didn't know they did a B in brown is it a 2009 new colour ? it doesn't show up on the M/B Can or UK websites perhaps they have not updated their colours yet. Would be interesting to know if they have any other colours for 2009
