So I ordered my car back in the middle of June. I see all this talk about a vehicle order number which I never got from my dealer. Out of the blue at the end of September I get an email from the salesman saying its on his incoming inventory list and its pre manifest with a VIN. he says the expected port date is oct 26. Now my question is I see a lot of you receiving your cars quite soon after you receive a vin. Not 2 months later like my expected date(3 weeks after port date they say). Is my dealer feeding me a line and the car may show up sooner or is the mid November estimate legit? Can I phone Subaru Canada with a vin and track my car or do they just do it with the Von?
