(Another) Newbie...ED35 finally here!

[wigit]

mine is the only one my dealer has sold (they have a demo in the group) and don't expect to sell another, playing a more long term game with this one (given the fluctuations in year 1 values) as i have the sh'tty for the city for daily abuse, hoping they sell less than 222 so i can wind my wife up i have the more exclusive car can't see them selling 2,300 like the Ed30

Here's hoping. Although longer term the Ed 30 held up well...

agreed as are Pirelli residuals

Fingers crossed for when it comes to swapping time!

RickS, do you think your delay could be to do with 4wd also? There's a lot of 4wd VAG cars now.

No Dave, not 4wd, it's definitely the DSG, apparently the Chinese market is going mad for cars with it on and it's putting the factory under pressure. I'm assured categorically that the Chinese are not getting priority though.

That's not nice to hear RickS, do you keep pestering the dealer? I'd be ringing most days if mine's going to be that long getting the line!

Part of the issue on delivery is whether your dealer has specific allocation as this can effect the time for VW to give the dealer order confirmation. Some del ears may have cars on order which you can tweak the spec on (as we did with the Pirelli we bought what was to be their demo)

I speak to the dealer at least twice a week plus emails, they're not slacking. My order was accepted at the factory the week after I placed it. It's definitely the DSG that's causing hold ups; mines come back to week 24 from 27 but still not confirmed.

Week 24's only 3 weeks away, they should be able to almost confirm it by now surely?

Think my dealer's already getting fed up of me, only paid my deposit on Friday and been in 3 times since...the joys of passing on the way to work!

I'm assuming they can't issue that until there's a build date set? If so then they've got another 3 weeks of me!   

[Mr_Ed_35]

Now there's just the small matter of an up-to 5 month wait! 

Welcome to the forum Big Dave. If it's of any consolation to you regarding the wait, I ordered my Ed35 on 3rd Feb and I'm picking it up on Monday , so that's just 15 weeks and 3 days, a full 6 weeks ahead of the 5 month wait I was also quoted! So there's always hope of getting it quicker! I must admit though that the waiting is absolute agony, but it'll definitely be worth it in the end.
