I've recently placed a new order for a Mk8, moonstone grey, Adelaid 19's, winter pack and reverse camera.
Dealers, Beadles, have said that the 'build progress tracker app' isn't currently working so thank you for the deposit, but for now its just a waiting game and they'll be in touch !
They've shared nothing other than a very basic offer document but taken the deposit (no receipt or acknowledgement received from them for that) ... anyhow, my questions is: how is it that this thread sees others aware of their build weeks yet Beadles say to me the build week tracker system isn't working - are they giving me duff information to fob me off because maybe in reality the car won't materialise well into 2022 and they just wanted to get an order on the books for their budget numbers ? (or am i overthinking)
Why would they do that you might ask... well, I currently have a Mk7.5 on zero % PCP and I was tempted to sell that car as the residual value was sky high with the likes of Motorway/webuyanycar/Kazoo.
I requested a settlement figure and like magic VW calls (i'm sure they get a flag when an existing customer requests a settlement figure) and they asked me if I'd be interested in a new deal for a new model car .... which I agreed to hence placing the order. So in theory they've succeeded in keeping me as a customer but just by dangling a carrot.
Great forum by the way.... will be checking back on various threads in the future.
