After ordering in May and being at unconfirmed week 44 for such a long time….. I have just been informed that I’ve now moved to unconfirmed week 3  :angry: I’m not impressed!!

Anyone got any clues as to what’s going on with the clubsport 45 46?

Maybe it’s true about certain dealers getting priority? Either that or they’ve “sold” my order for a mark up and moved me to the back as I have been very patient with them.

I’ll try remain optimistic.

I did email the dealer back, he just reassured me that they are constantly chasing their orders and are in the dark as much as us customers, being told chip shortages are to blame.

He also said that there’s hardly any 45’s coming to the uk so should remain quite rare and valuable.  Time will tell on that point.

A press fleet Clubsport 45 car has just sold in a VW internal auction for £45k - you'd expect to see that on a forecourt for very high 40s, or perhaps even £50k??

Was told my dealer yesterday, week 35 builds are still halfway through for golfs. Mines currently week 38. 2 weeks ago no week 35 orders were built yet. Guessing won't see mine till November/December.

That is interesting. Good watch that. I was speaking to my dealer today who told me that their group have now moved to a ZERO discount policy on any orders. Apparently they’re receiving 40% fewer cars and there’s no end in sight to the shortage.

Hi paresh, I ordered the car at beginning of May. As I have found out the car was a car the dealer had already ordered and they contacted me to swap out my 7.5pp. It is the only one they have sold and only one they will sell by all accounts. They must have ordered it as soon as the car came available as I seem to be one of the few to have received it.

You can understand why people could be tempted to sell the car as soon as they receive it, if they are going for silly money and people/ dealers are prepared to buy them. Is the car worth £45k on auction site? Only people who are desperate to buy them at that price can answer that. Not worth that money in my opinion.
