Is anyone on here from the DC area, and has gotten ahold of a manual transmission 10 series? The dealership I put my deposit down with almost two months ago originally said it would be in the first week of July. However now its the 24th and still no VIN or definite arrival date. They also had been saying that it would be coming into port at Newark, NJ. However the most recent update I got from them had said New York (and still no arrival date at the dealership).
To make matters worse I talked to another dealership that pulled up the list of all the 10 series being shipped to the area, and told me that the dealership I put my deposit down at isn't on that list. He even showed it to me. Luckily, he let me reserve one at his for no charge, but theirs isn't in until mid August:.
Basically, just wondering if anyone has a manual transmission on hold in the DC area and knows when they are getting it, or if anyone around here has one already.

My dealer specified the port of entry to be NY when in fact the port was Newark. I'm not familiar with the dynamics of cargo processing in New York harbor but the fact that Newark is in New York Harbor may be significant.
The information that I was given from my dealership in MA was: dep given late April, est arrival 1st week of June, actual arrival 1st week of July. Then, after 6 visits and moderate negotiating I took delivery on 7/19. Good luck, and don't be afraid to play games of your own with the dealer. Tell them that you have a dep down with another dealership and that you are going to take whichever vehicle hits first.
