I’d be going nowhere near the train crash that is the opening of the order books for a new Golf GTi  for at least 6 months until arse and elbow align  :grin:

Whether or not that's literally the truth or simply that they aren't allowed to even discuss it until the date of the big reveal by VW UK....

Certainly I can't imagine the dealership in question would be the last to know.... they shift a LOT of VW..... I am sure some of you know who I mean ;-)

In the wonderful world of Vw uk anything could happen. Tbh if order books are opening then it’s very low key.

Examples of Vw misinformation are littered throughout the forum. Eg. After being told for months that the TCR was only a concept it was announced the day my R arrived at the dealers. Sod’s law and pretty typical.

When I bought my current GTI I ordered it in October 2009 though I didn’t pick it up until July 2010.

Whilst there were some supply issues (I think) with the DSGearbox, I also learned that the dealer I used didn’t have what I learned to be an ‘allocation’ and therefore part of the delay was actually getting a rung on the ladder.

I must say, the car has been marvellous and well worth the wait.  I wonder though if this dealer allocation thing is still prevalent nearly 11 years on; does anyone know (thinking Evo here) if this is still the case and should I be asking this direct question this time around.

Best wishes guys,

Ava
