Joker45 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I spoke to my dealer yesterday and they said that both of their cars are built and just waiting to be delivered. Within a few weeks was what I was told. However they still haven't made up their mind what they are going to charge for the GT 500 and for over six months will not give me a price or accept a deposit.

Mine,black with ebony stripes, will be arriving in Mira Loma on the 27th of this month :happy feet: now the question is how long from there to San Diego PSDS is bad, need prozack!! Fatchile - THANKS!! I had been calling the wrong railroad too. Found out that the car was loaded this morning and should arrive in Aurora CO on the 28th (Friday) - So maybe I'll have it by next week. You're a gem! If you call, ask them for the railcar #, then you can call back and enter the last 6 digits into their automated system. COOL! EDIT: BTW - Here is the whole procedure if you only have the VIN Call 800 243-0903 and ask for a supervisor. They are the only ones who can look up the car by the VIN Get the railcar # and the status from the person on the other line. After you get the railcar # you can call 800 225-4915 and go through the menus (I think it's "1" and "1" to get their automated tracking system. Enter just the numbers (exclude the first letters) with your touchtone and you will receive status. I was very honest with the suprvisor. Told her I had ordered the car in March and didn't even know if it was on the train yet. She was very helpful and found it pretty quickly. Thanks again Fatchile!

What dealer in Aurora did you order from? I didn't think any of the Aurora dealers were SVT. As my signature indicates, I'm still in limbo.

The only problem is that I'm in California and that's a long way to ship a car. Plus I'm not sure on how I would register it as it's not a California car unless they can order it with the Ca. emissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in San Diego and I bought mine thru them, you just have to find a local dealer to do a courtsey delivery. I am using Drew Ford in La mesa Ca. They order the car with ca smog ( its just a decal I think ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering what kind of AMD's I'm looking at. My local dealer said maybe nothing to about $1,500.. I'm still waiting for a real answer from them.

Joker45 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Joker45 I think you need to find another dealer sounds kind of fishy GOOD LUCK! Yea I'm starting to feel the same way. Before yesterday he told me he had only talked to 2 other people before me. Now he's saying his phone is ringing off the hook about this car. I think I'm gonna get screwed just like so many others before me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old guy Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 ...Found out that the car was loaded this morning and should arrive in Aurora CO on the 28th (Friday) ... Update: Called this morning and guess what - Car was in Kearny, NE this morning and is now due into the railyard on Thursday. - So it appears once the car is loaded it's possible to move the original schedule up. Kearny, NE - I can drive there in 6 hours! I sure hope this is accurate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get the railcar number (you can get it from the dealer also) you can visit UP website at http://c01.my.uprr.com/pet/motorVehicleTrace.jsp Type you railcar in and get stop by stop updates of the railcar. For what it is worth, final destination, may not be listed, but is referred to as "industry". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
