I'm sorry but that's totally unacceptable! I ordered mine the same day as yours and I'm not waiting until mid September for mine. Talk about false advertising?

I'll be cancelling mine then. I'm not prepared to wait that long.

I'm past caring about delivery now to be honest - if it's after September, great, it's a "63" plate car, which actually makes no difference to me anyway given it will be going on a private plate.  It also means I'll be able to save up a healthy chunk prior to starting payments on it.

Instead of cancelling, why not use this as a bargaining chip to get some money off/extras added for nothing.  If it doesn't work then if you can still sack if off should you still feel that way.  But if it was me I'd be getting some options added on for nothing!

P1ss poor from VW though, you GTD boys were told June delivery.

If you've already haggled a discount, good luck with trying to get extra freebies!  The build and delivery is what it is - it's a new car, clearly there have been issues, and we are all in the same boat.  If you TRULY want the car, you'll be kicking yourself when people start taking delivery.  Not sure what canceling gains, other than a chunk of money in the bank and keeping buyers remorse at bay!

I agree with Gryzor. It's taken so long already, you get past caring about delivery.  I've basically shoved it in the back of mind & focused on something else! September will roll round quicker than you think... I mean can you believe it's May already!! It only felt like we got over Christmas last week.  :grin:

Mind you it doesn't help when your friends & family keep asking... "Have you got your New Car yet?" & "Why is taking so long?" You just want to slap them round the Chops!

I had an email yesterday saying the latest I will recieve the car is August but they are hoping for that date to come forward.  So many conflicting stories!  Arghhh!   :sad: :angry: :laugh: :rolleyes:
