"J" from Dealer "S" called with a great status update: ONVESL 4/3. So my car is on a boat, which coincides with recent 4/3 boat departure info posted on the Boxster Board. He said that there's an outside chance I will have it by the end of the month, definitely by early May. Actually I think end of the month is reasonable: figure two weeks on the boat and a week for import and trucking. Wow, three or four weeks suddenly sounds like a very short amount of time left to wait. I'd better get the ball rolling on my insurance and purchase method decisions.
