Clubsport order thread

Just been informed by VW customer services my build has been pushed back to June 2022

Yes, June

That will be 14 months

Was told BW 4 last week.

Thats is absolutely terrible.

Same here, in Ireland, after seeing lead times on here I expected it would be next year, ordered end of June, told me to expect early October delivery, so I have asked them to hold it until January to get new plate. Got 0% pcp and keeping same trade in value on my 2015 GTD.

I thought about doing the same (wait till Jan), but I'm too impatient. Life is way too short and with the 0% and decent discount I got, I said to hell with that, take it now.

Also, you'd want to be careful you don't get caught for price hikes on the new car if you wait. There's another €900 price rise imminent I believe and then there's VRT which the dealer will have no control over. Its possible that they will hike it up in the budget, given the Green Party's hatred of cars... we'll know more in January I suppose!

Anyway, picking this up tomorrow   

They worked in the MY22 price increase when I ordered. If VRT goes up, I'll just have to stomach it and hopefully it will be reflected in the value after 3 years

Best of luck with it, great colour and wheel combo, give us an updated after you pick it up.

Ordered mine on 18 th feb and was originally told 15 weeks. This then changed to build week 27 and then again to week 43. Then yesterday I was informed that I now have an estimated build week of 7 in 2022. Absolutely ridiculous lead times and I’m now informed that any new orders for a performance golf is 57 weeks 🙉🙉

Thats crazy Spinkerson, what dealer, what spec?

[Spinkerson]

Vertu vw skipton. Moonstone grey with adelaides rear view camera and winter pack.

Really weird how some are coming sooner than others, as if some dealers are getting preferential service.

[Spinkerson]

Or people are offering more money to jump the queue ?

The factors mentioned by @fredgroves in reply #57 of the discussion thread at the link below are likely to have a bearing on why some cars appear to be given preferential treatment by VW;

New user here, I found this thread useful to gauge my own order progress so I thought I'd add my details.

Ordered my mk8 CS on Feb 25th at Marshalls VW in Taunton.
Moonstone grey
Adelaides
DCC
Winter pack including rear seats

I was initially told WB 26 but as this approached it slid back to 32 I think, then again it slipped to 44, finally last week again it moved back but this time only to week 45. My current car has to go back week 50 (this is the max limit of the lease extension) so if it slips again I'm going to be left without a car. I'm also pretty miffed about the price rises as when I specced, I brought it in under £40k and now I'm going to be hit with the luxury VED rate from year 2.

well its been pushed back again, back to week 13 2022 now! that will make it 15 months after the order.
