I have and my dealer doesn't have any information. I find it hard to believe!

Mine landed same time/boat as yours and I'm not even on the train yet out of Halifax (at least as of yesterday). Can't understand - maybe you need to be a squeaky wheel to get some service. Guess I'll have to talk to my SA.

Since I have been tracing other's vehicles for the past week or so I have started to notice a trend with CN.

Cars destined to Toronto gets loaded faster than out west. I am basing this on when the vehicle arrives Halifax.
It is generally 1-1.5 weeks wait in Halifax before getting loaded onto rail for Toronto cars. 2.5-3 weeks wait in Halifax for cars heading out west.

Interesting. Mine arrived in halifax last Monday so we're pretty much at the 1.5 week mark and you mentioned that it showed up on the system today... so hopefully this means it will start moving soon . Do they work on weekends/long weekends or do they shut down?

cheers

Rail runs 24/7. Once it is on rail it will be quick.

I really hope your car ships quickly but the painful wait will be so worth it!!!
I am very envious of you. I wish I could go to the autoport here in Toronto with my dealer and drive back the car. It is only about 30 minutes drive ... but NNNOOO ... I have to wait for the truck company to deliver it next week ... I wanna cry...

Good question...I do not think it will drop from 5.9 until maybe the summer, just before the 2016's come in. Even 2015 5 series cars are at 5.9% now (2014 are 1.9%).
What might happen in the next few months is an addition of a 39 month option (which I would take if it happens in September). My car is tagging along with sunnyboy and will be at the dealer next week.

Don't think interest will drop. I don't think the E92 ever came down in interest until they were trying to clear them out for model year end deals.
