If you ordered it 40 days ago, it's probably just getting up on the boat, so another 1 month or so.

Default He should have vin#. Sounds like it's getting on the ship.

Here is the order status break-down:

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. This is usually what they mean by being in transit.

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.
