mrfarmdog Posted March 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Well the train has come and gone and my car is in the rail yard. Unfortunately I have to wait another day for my receiving dealer to get the paperwork from the dealer I purchased the car from and then another day to get it due to my work. It is OK though. I told the dealer not to wash it. I have a detailer that will prep it for stripes and then finalize the detail job after the stripes are put on. Regardless I am counting down the hours now!!!

mrfarmdog Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Birdie spotted your car in Yale, TN at 15:21 and it will be at the final destination of SMYRNA, TN on 3/8/07 at 07:00. Heres Proof: Hey Grabber! This has been kind of interesting. This morning about 11AM tracking said my rail car hit Memphis and I was stoked. Then it stated later in the day that it was at Berclair, TN. You now are saying it is at Yale, TN. Berclair is a district in Memphis. There is a Yale avenue in Memphis as well. I expect that these may be scan points on the rail line or something. I now believe my rail car has not formally hit the rail head. However, Smyrna, TN is a town outside of Nashville so it must be off loaded tomorrow if it will be in Smyrna on the 8th. Regardless I can not pick up my car until Friday so I will just have to be content with that. Also UP tracking still says Berclaire Empty Yes *Arrived BNSF BERCLAIR, TN 03/06/2007 11:30:00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legend69 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Ahhhhhhhhhhh:) I have been waiting patiently up until a couple of days ago but I started having bad dreams.. Like I was stuck in "Released From Plant" pergatory. Well today I got an email from my dealer with a rail car number! WOOHOO!!!! If anyone is interested in seeing what you can trace here is a link to UP tracking, use my car number and see the results you get. http://c01.my.uprr.com/pet/motorVehicleTrace.jsp And here is my rail car number: ETTX908269 I am not exactly sure what this is telling me but I think it means the it will be shipped on a CN Railroad car, that it is currently empty and that it is in route to Auto Alliance plant for loading. Can anyone help decypher this info? Also does anyone know how often the UP tracking site updates? When I track my car it shows the date of the 25th even though today is the 28th.

mrfarmdog Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Mine is here!!!! I called the rail yard today and they told me it arrived two days ago and it was loaded on a transport to the dealer this morning. So I rushed down to the dealership but the carrier was not there yet. I waited around for a while and it showed up!!! There my black vert was on top with an alloy coupe behind it, both coming to the same dealer! I got pics of them unloading the cars and several people came out to see them. The one of the salesman stated that this was the first vert they had seen at this dealer. I am trying to make sure everything is complete so I can pick up my car tomorrow. Unfortunately there is quite a bit of coordination between the credit union, the dealership that is selling me the car and the local dealership that is accepting delivery. I have instructed them not to wash the car. I have a detailer I trust that I will let take care of it for me. I will post pics soon. WOOHOO!

mrfarmdog Posted March 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Guess what??? I have my car!!!! After BSing with the dealership they decided to let me have it today! I picked it up and drove it straight to the detailer who put a good wash on the outside! I took tomorrow off so it will be a good morning to break her in. I am hoping for a couple hundred miles! Going back to the detail shop at noon. They pointed out several spots where Ford did some polishing on the paint. It looks hazy and is very noticable on black but they assured me they can take care of it. Woohoo! I will post pics later after the kids get to bed!

How much of an issue was it to have your car delivered to another dealer? I might consider the same for myself. Dealer in AL, but I'm in AZ... Have Fun and Be Safe!

Keith Keith It really wasn't much of an issue at all but you need to make sure you pay off early so the money clears the bank and they send your certificate of origin to your receiving dealer before your car arrives or it could be sitting in their show room for a week or more.

Tanabanana Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Gotta find a name soon. This is typical for us though. We decided for names for all three of our kids when we were in the hospital. I guess I will wait to see her looks and personality before a name her. We named our children the same way. You can have some thoughts but I don't think you can commit before you see them. At least IMHO. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
