How long for new cars to clear the Vancouver port authority? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Bleevin · 09-20-2012, 08:50 PM

The dealership I ordered my whiteout FRS told me that the eta for my vehicle is Sept 17. The dealership has not received the car from the Vancouver ports yet and last told me that it arrived at the ports around Sept 12.

Anyone know how long it usually takes for new cars to clear customs / inspections and then get delivered to a Vancouver dealership lot?

7-10 days

Thanks for the info.

I'm on the same boat as you. scioneric confirmed with me the car has indeed arrived. I was giggling like a school girl at work, then was told it would take at least a week to arrive at the dealership.

i do know that all the FR-S currently at fraser wharves are going thru some reprogramming due to drivability improvements... could be a minor additional delay..

ECU flash for rough idle (CEL/slip) issues?

Eric has kept me updated as soon as he received them. I couldn't be happier with the constant updates. I just cant wait until his next update is for me to get myself over to the dealership to pick up the car!

I'm starting to realize that... but I couldn't wait and snatched up a canceled order at another dealership.

Maybe we'll both get ours delivered on the same day!
