Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback. While doing a little searching on the web, I found this on rennlist, which seems to be pretty helpful.

MFGCNF means manufacture confirmed = it is the code that Germany has received your order.
PLPROD = the order is now in the system and is waiting to be planned for production. (This is *after* MFGCNF.)
Next, it goes into production and shows this code = PRDPNT.
Then MFG, Into Paint Shop, CMPPRD (completed production), ONVESL, PDI (a port code), and PDIMON (on the way to dealer).

I was just sent an email by my sales rep that I'm MFGCNF....so not that far along, but its a start.

Longislander1, through my searching, I did come across a few of your threads concerning your order -- seemed like it could have certainly been smoother. At least you have your car now, and are I'm sure thoroughly enjoying it. I suppose the best thing I can do is stay on top of my sales rep, without becoming too much of a pest.

Sample orders with time spent in each status, here:

However, west coast Porsches are received and distributed through the Port of San Diego, so for a small retainer fee I'll keep an eye out for yours.

Sounds like you've got a good sales rep if he/she is sending you e-mails on the status. Hope the delivery goes smoothly for you.

When we ordered our 987 last year , it was built week of 10/14. The shipping time/ sequence went like this:

-shipped from Finland to a port in Germany to be loaded on another vessel

-Germany to Baltimore. Ground transportantion from Baltimore to OH.

Assuming the 10/15 date was accurate, it took 4 weeks to show up in Baltimore and then a couple of days to get to the dealer.

Not sure how they deliver to the west coast--rail?
