Ordered in early October and it hit the dealership abut 75 days later. The worst wait was waiting for transport to pick up from the dealer in Michigan to ship out here to California!

Like to give props to La Fontaine Jeep in Michigan. Ordering was easy, arrived at the exact promise date, and came in right at invoice price. No complaints.
 
Mike that sure is a nice Jeep! and looks like Pedro Point in Pacifica in the back ground?

Huge congrats, that's super exciting!

Out of curiosity, would you mind sharing how much it was to ship from Michigan? If you have a shipper you recommend, would love to hear about them.

Looking forward to having a CA jeep alongside yours!

Thanks dog! Ended up using the shipping company recommended by the dealer. My shipping experience was filled with a ton of waiting, but it's mostly due to my Jeep landing right before the holidays. What I found in my very limited research was, most of these shipping companies seem to just be middle men that are posting your shipping order on some type of board that the actual carriers pull from. There are some standard rates and expedited rates depending on your patience - signed up for the expedited and nothing happened after waiting two weeks. You can also add money to your shipping order posting to make it more attractive. I got sick of waiting and pumped my bid up to $1800 (from $1400) and still nothing happened for another week, then finally got the Jeep assigned to a truck on Jan. 7th. Again, I don't think these are completely normal conditions, more so bad timing of the Jeep's arrival. Jeep finally arrived to me in California on the 19th. Met the driver at a mall parking lot and grabbed it up. Had to smog it once it arrived as well

I ended up using these guys posted below. I give them credit, in retrospect, they were honest and professional although I was highly questioning it at the time. I had even called a competing company about a week before pick up , and they kind of confirmed all was being done that could, and advised me to stick it out with Direct.:
Direct Express Auto Transport http://www.autotransportdirect.com.

Overall, this was much more pleasant than paying the $25k California premium to get one of these.

Get one ordered up!

Wow! You are so lucky! I ordered mid Aug (156 days ago) and I’m still waiting. Congrats!

Same exact questions here as I need shipping for two different vehicles – one from Pennsylvania and one from Iowa to orange county California.

Your 392 looks awesome!

For some reason the name of the Transport Company that he used and the cost of the transport from Michigan to California is not visible on this thread. I have one car coming from Iowa and another car coming from Pennsylvania. I will work it out in any event, but any suggestions would be appreciated.
