My experience in the Pacific Northwest; shopping in September 2024

I hope all those waiting get theirs soon, The dock strikes are going to drive deliveries to a slow trickle!

Yes agreed. I waited over 2 months after my vehicle hit the port in Portland.

I’ve been checking the estimated arrival date of my vehicle everyday on Toyota.com. Until today it showed that it was expected by 20OCT24. Today it doesn’t show any date. It just says “vehicle may be in transit. “

I just texted my sales associate Caleb and got an update. It says “Vessel Arrival”. Fingers crossed it get through the port soon. I wonder if it’s on the west coast or the east coast. Hopefully not the east coast with the port strikes going on. I hope it is here on the west coast.

That is really good news! The dealership is only 30 minutes away from Portland. When it’s ready for me to pick it up I plan on making it a small family trip. It’s about 2.5 hours from our hometown in Washington. We will rent a car to drive down there. Pick up the LC and spend a couple days on the Oregon Coast before driving it back home. Coincidentally we just celebrated our 14 year anniversary there at Cannon Beach in August. It was our toddler’s first real beachfront experience. Cannon Beach is only 30 minutes from the dealership.
