Delivery times on new GTI?!

[matchboy]

Hi all, first time poster, stumbled across this forum today!  Was just wondering what kind of delivery times you lot are getting on a new Mk 6?  I ordered mine first weekend in May and I've been told the earliest I'll get it is end Sep/1st week of Oct - are you guys experiencing the same loooooong delay?!  cheers in advance!

That seems a bit long, what spec did you order.  I ordered June 27 and expecting first week in Sept

That does seem long.  I just ordered yesterday, and I was told maybe September.  The dealer I didn't order from was saying October, irrespective of the specs.

That's what I thought, having to wait 5 months from date of order is killing me!

spec is:  5 dr, deep black pearl, leather seats, xenons, 18" monzas, RCD 510 with dynaudio, winter pack and luxury pack.  so nothing too mental - dunno why its taking so long!!  i think the dealer couldn't put through the order till 1st June as xenons weren't available as an option till then but still seems like a really long time to wait!  especially as i have sold my mk 5 gti and that goes end of this month so im left with the missus cr7ppy old car as she has just got a new one!!!

Mine was ordered 02 May and nobody really knows when it is coming now .. looking like August some time but it still does not have a build week. Which garage did you order from?

looks like i have been shafted somewhat then, i think i'll have to get the dealer to chase VW - cheers!

its Wayside which is a VW dealership and they have a few dotted around so they should know what they are doing!

It was 01May you could order xenon's as thats what i had to wait for until i ordered. Although it wouldn't surprise me if the Xenons are holding things up.

Im sure Simonpolly is getting xenon's on his and his is coming in the next 2 weeks though so maybe not.

Yeah mine is through Verve and they have a few garages north of the border so i would have though it would be quickish with them too ... obviously not!

looks like there is no ryhme or reason for the delay then if some of you are getting it early and some of you don't have a build date - is just frustrating as its not like i'm ordering an audi R10 or anything - then i would expect to have to wait!!!
