Default Confusion...

You place your order, then when the car goes into production and comes off the assembly line, your dealer can give you the VIN#. Then you have to wait for the boat to be fully loaded before it leaves. Then it takes a week or two to get to port.
The dealer is the one who gets a monthly allocation of cars.

Default If the dealer has just received allocation, it will be

another 3 to 5 weeks before they get a vin #. Shorter if the dealer can change another car in their allocation that is just about to enter production.

B status is when the car shows in a dealer's allocation - 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 months to delivery. Usually order entered mid-month. Surest way to get exactly what you want. You should get a request number ( used to track car prior to vin# assigned ) within a few weeks of factory allocation acknowledgement.

C status is production release. The factory allocates parts/options/colours to build car. Can be changed if in early status - need to keep close eye to make sure changes are acknowledged by factory in time. - 3 months to delivery.

D status is when everything is locked down and being built. The car should have a vin# at this time.

F status hapens when the car is being processed for the port for shipping.

HA is when the car is shipped. About 4 to 6 weeks to go.

The next step is IA status. Car is in port over here. Depending on port authorities, etc. you should see the car in a few weeks.
