Yup, including the destination and handling fee. Difference is $175. Cheaper now. Not a huge difference but it’s something.

You're likely missing side bolster adjustment on passenger side, hence the $100 credit towards original MSRP leading to the difference you're seeing.

That’s good to know. I was able to place the order prior to the price change and the dealer said nothing was affected. Just hope when I go pick it up I’m not surprised. Already have a list of things I’ve heard that’s been affected by the inventory shortage like the HK speakers to someone just plain out getting half their seat blue stitching and the bottom half not.

Welp I have both the HK speakers and blue stitching vernasca on my build so hopefully they didn't F that up...

I got hit too ...

That's the credit for 'Front passenger lumbar support removal'
Along w/ another $100 credit for 'Front passenger width adjustment' which is the side bolster

That’s annoying, did it say on the sticker exactly what was missing and the prices that they took off of it or was the dealership just informing you that those items were missing and gave you the new price with the subtractions.

I’m picking up my build soon I hope and the dealer doesn’t sound super convincing that my build wasn’t affected by any of the shortages.

BlaSTiWi · 04-01-2021, 07:49 AM

Yeah really annoying, it showed up in my final build sheet.

I added winter wheel & tire set and I saw the numbers didn't add up quite right (didn't notice the -100 & -175) until the dealer pointed out.

boys and girls,
our vessel has nearly arrived in Brunswick, GA.

After a quick stop in Brunswick we'll be on our way to Charleston, SC.

Get out and stretch your legs or grab a cup of coffee. The vessel will only be here for a few moments.

Slowly but surely! Let's keep each other informed on our CA's estimated delivery dates as we get closer to our respective ports of arrival.

foh sho mate! Both of our cars are getting off in Newark NJ

I think my first road trip would be to detroit from jersey, can't wait!!

ShadowM340 · 04-01-2021, 10:05 PM

It is now showing the Pioneer's next stop as Jacksonville...don't really understand the rationale for why it would go backwards, let alone two ports that are extremely close to one another.

Yeah confirmed on jacksonville port. Weird but makes sense why our ship is arriving in charleston on saturday morning

mux3dup · 04-02-2021, 06:58 AM

My M340 is dropped off at port again! Hopefully this means I'll be picking it up in the next week or so (no port install options). Good luck on the rest of the voyage for the Grand Pioneer folks!

Nice! Keep us posted on the dealer delivery. Curious to see how long it takes from the port to final delivery.

Cheers mate!

I bet it's partially to do with the loading order of the boats where it makes more sense to unload a whole block of cars instead of having to move them around on the boat. Just my guess though who knows the actual reasons.
