Thumbs up My car is on Indiana Highway!

My sales guy told me estimated ship date for my car was 11/25 but I think my car is on this ship, Indiana Highway. It left Toyohashi port today for Portland. My sales person hasn't confirm the ship name yet but reason I think it may be this one is because this ship delivered other members IS previously and I can't believe there would be another ship to Portland for Lexus in two days.

I'm so looking forward to getting my 3IS!

It looks like there may be multiple ships for Lexus/Toyota each week so I need to confirm with my sales person to see which ship my car will be on.

Below is sample of Toyota/Lexus berthing schedule to US for 1 month.

According to my dealer, my car is supposed to be at the southern end of the Panama Canal (Balboa) tomorrow and is on time to make it to Jacksonville on 12/2.

Nice. Mine made it to the port on 12/1. But what is strange is that I just got an email from my dealer this morning saying the car made it to the port today. Maybe that is a confirmation that the car is off the ship and in the que to be shipped to the dealer. Anyway, should be just a week or so left for me! Hopefully.

Yeah, last couple weeks is going to be even worse since it's so close. I hope you get your car next week and oh don't forget to post some pictures.

I read they can load/unload these roro boats in ~12 hours so it must be confirmation that car is en-route to your dealer.

From the port in Long Beach to Redwood City took about 5 days via truck. The last few days was the worst for me not the 3 months in between.
