Thanks for doing this roastduck!

I've got a deposit on VIN 2397 that is in transit. Do you think you can work your magic to see how far along it is?

Sorry to bother again on this one, assuming it has left port already but Dealer hasn’t gotten the updated VINView so I’m getting a bit antsy and was wondering if I could bother you for an update on your end? ?

All good man. It’s still at the port. I got you on a list to check for updates so I’ll let you know when it leaves.

Seems like there will be almost double the amount of units in '24 compared to '23. Helps bring down the markups!

@roastduck can people self serve or do you have special access?

@roastduck can people self serve or do you have special access?

I have access to some data while vehicle is at sea or at stateside port. Sort of operating under discretion but the information is printed on worksheets that comes with the car anyway (though some dealerships toss it during PDI.)

After leaving the port, VINView would be the closest to self-service tracking; the dealership can set up notifications to send directly to your phone. I can't vouch for the rail tracking call-in number. I tried to call for a few vehicles and the "current location" was wildly outdated. I heard some people had better luck so ymmv.
