    Incoming ships dates for East Coast 9/23, 9/29, 10/2, and 10/9. Based on SET inventory available dates. 9/23 is the Overseas Joyce already thru the canal.

    How long does it typically take for cars to show up at the dealer once they've arrived at Port?

    Well, my dealer found a vehicle for me on 9/8...and said it was at the port...and I'm still waiting for it 12 days later....I'm really hoping it gets to the dealership this week. So, I'd say AT LEAST two weeks...(Though, they did say it could be as little as three days...)

    I would say 3 weeks. You may get lucky and get it in 2 weeks, but for me my dealer said they were supposed to get it 2-3 days from when I originally signed, but they got it 1 week later instead, I am not sure when it arrived at port, Toyota seems to be running behind.

    Maybe this would help!

    The wait was a painful process for me at least.

    I am no expert, but I have gotten a lot of help in this thread and others to track my incoming car. I live near you, so my experience may be of use to you.

    Mine arrived in the port of Jacksonville, FL on the 17th. I talked to my dealer on Friday the 18th and he said it had already been assigned to a car carrier (truck) and would likely arrive Monday the 21st or Tuesday the 22nd.

    So, a pretty quick turnaround. Now you have to bear in mind that I have no added port options, these would likely add to shipping time, but maybe not.

    One interesting thing my dealer told me was that when you look up the car on the dealer website, you see a stock photo of the car when you click the picture icon next to the car with your Vin#. That is until your car hits the port. At that point they take an actual picture of your car. So you know that you are close when you see the picture change.

    Good luck to you. Hopefully I will get the call from the dealer on Monday or Tuesday!
    And again thanks for this very useful thread.

    Thanks James, finally I see Sunbelt Spirit and it looks like it is 8 hours away from Newark. Now I can start to get excited about my Prius. I still don't want to jinx it, from what I've heard on the boards, but supposedly my Prius III with solar is on that ship.

    My husband thinks I am nuts, having spent the past two weeks looking for my "ship to come in"!

    Is one of those the Texas Highway? My Prius V is on it with an ETA at the dealer in MA ~10/16. (I assume it's not really in the middle of Egypt as is indicated on the linked map.)

    I was told my car would arrive in Jacksonville on 10/2...is the New Century 1 arriving early or is there another ship scheduled to arrive on 10/2?

    I am expecting the Pyxis Leader(?) ahead of the Texas Highway(comfirmed) then the Kentucky Highway. Haven't seen any of them yet. Whatever is coming the next 3 weeks has already sailed. Dealer VIR would say for sure.

    Eastcoast unknown ships on 10/14 and 10/21 to Jacksonville.

    Century Highway 2 to Benicia or Portland approx 10/8

    Looks like they increased the number of 4 and 5's their bringing based on SET inventory. more solar and atp from looking at the msrp's. imho

    EDIT NEW CENTURY 2 is coming to Portland or Benicia, not new highway century ace leader #12345
