(Another) Newbie...ED35 finally here!

[sundaydriver]

A big thumb's up for the Goodyears from me, i've got assymetric 1's on the CK's and just bought assymetric 2's for the talladega's.

Before that i've had Dunlop sport's(Crap), Bridgestone potenza's(Not bad) and Conti's(quite good) on a MK6 but find the Goodyear assymetric's the best IMO.

So the dealer rang me today whilst I was at work. The salesman's been on holiday for 3 weeks. After ordering ok the 14th May, he tells me the car is being built 'as we speak', and the estimated delivery date is 'end of June/1st week of July'  unbelievabley happy! If its delivered 1st week of July that's 7 weeks from ordering    (sorry to run it in for people who waited 6+months!)

Wow, that's quite a good chunk of time you've 'skipped' waiting for your new car!   

Did the dealer actually say to you when you ordered that it would be 5 months from date of order for the car?

How come it's suddenly being built & much earlier than anticipated?

I'd be Interested to know the current build dates at the moment for most trims, especially the 'Match'.

He said that he occassionally heres of cars coming in realtively short time, but VW's own guidance on the day said '15 weeks for GTI variants, extended further for DSG models.'

Maybe they've given me a manual............!   

Not sure why it's so much earlier, my guess would be that now that rumours for the Mk7 are getting more steam that people aren't ordering new and are waiting for that.

He did tell me the someone ordered an Up at the end of may, and he has a delivery date of end of July, so it appears that all new builds have a relatively short delivery at the moment 

Either way, happy doesn't say it!

Chances are its a cancelled order and meets the same spec so goes to a different owner.

Nah not a cancelled order...same comm number I was given originally. Everyone's are quicker than anticipate at the moment... Markey, all being well yours could be earlier!
