12 days after my car arrived at Portland port my sales guy confirmed that it's finally on the rail heading for MN. His new estimate for me to pick up is 12/30 but I'm really really hoping I can still pick it up by Friday of next week. There was no good explanation as to why it too so long to get it on rail other than sales guy said it's been this way for few weeks for all the stuff coming on rail to them.
I'm off work two weeks starting 12/23 and was really hoping to have it by 12/23.....

Glad to hear you car is on its way. By the way, I did not order any port installed options you described above either. However, they put them on anyway at the port, apparently taking time. Of course I did not pay for same as I did not order them. In fact, the dealer did not even broach the subject.

Same here. No PIO ordered by me either. I had been looking at the wheel locks, trunk mat, and net online, but decided to wait. Good thing, as my car had all of that stuff installed. The salesperson only mentioned it to tell me about how to order a new wheel lock if I were to misplace the one currently in the car. That was a nice surprise. I doubt it held up anything though. But who knows. It still took a week and a half to get from the port at Jacksonville, FL to the Raleigh/Durham, NC area.

I know I wouldn't say no. I'm more concerned about what other hidden fees they are going to try and tack on. Did you have any of that sort?

To me those items you listed are not hidden fees. You know all of that when you sign the purchase agreement. There is a line on my purchase agreement for all of those items that was populated prior to me signing in August. The only thing that changed at delivery was the tax and license fee lines. And that was because I originally was going to trade a car. That would have made both the taxes and license fees lower.

Just for my reference what were those fees on your purchase?
