I wonder how many people have cancelled now?
The more the merrier I say Bill, that way maybe those of us left will get theirs a little bit quicker
Yes!
.... and no
.
I think this greatly depends on what a dealer does with a cancelled order. I see three options for them:
- They continue with the order and flog the car as is when it arrives.
- They find a new customer who wants a similar car and modify the order (already happened once that I know of).
- They bring an existing customer's order forward and either drop the cancelled order or bump it back in the queue.
Only in option 3 would we get our cars quicker, and there is no benefit to the dealer by doing this. I think much more likely is option 1 or 2. This way they get a new order, and can probably offer much less discount as people will be keen to jump the queue.
Expect to see more happy new members on this forum posting about their June or July orders arriving a few weeks later in August while those of us who ordered 2-3 months before them still have 3 months to go before we see our cars. I expect nothing less from VW based on their levels of service (or lack of anything of the sort) so far.
