Just spoken to the Aberdeen branch today, they don't have any yet, but they have a waiting list of 6 months already so think i may have to pop down and get one ordered this weekend or its going to end up being delivered in the middle of winter!!!  :cry:

Can other dealers get them quicker?????

Dundee is supposed to have one but I cant confirm.

I called the Glasgow dealers and none of them have one to view. One garage checked something called 'Volkswagen Desktop' which is something to do with their system and it shows them that all garages will have the mk6 GTI for delivery to view in mid May.

Im not doubting your word, its the garages word, I find that very very hard to believe. I called 6 Glasgow garages and they have not got 1 order yet, yet Aberdeen has 6 months worth. Hmmm.

I've read that first allocation for all garages will be two cars, plus I guess a demo.

Its usual VW way of making the car more exclusive and desirable I guess. Would also explain the lead times.

I'm warming to the car more, but the price is still an issue. At least we will have brokers and car supermarkets, that can give it a realistic price.

6 month waiting list!!! I agree.... I find that very hard to believe.  When I enquired about ordering one, they were clambering to get my business.  They did indeed have an initial allocation of two cars... 1 of which was destined for a member of staff, whilst the second was destined for the showroom.  Having said that he did say that they wouldn't be getting their next allocation (also limited to two cars) till May/June for possibly August/September delivery.

I doubt very much that they will be selling many in the current economic climate, however good they are.  I was rather surprised in fact.  I had initially gone into the dealer with the view to putting my name down on a waiting list, but when he said I could have one of the first allocations for June delivery I was gobsmaked!

Aberdeen....the city the credit crunch forgot  :wink:

I can well believe it actually.  Its a dealership that serves a huge area and a wealthy one at that.

Its a lot of orders thats for sure if there's 6 months worth. I'm not sure where the VW dealer is your talking about, but if its anything like the area I frequently visit for work (Fountainhall Road) then I agree it's a wealthy area so you never know. I still have my doubts though.

If I lived in Aberdeen and I wanted it I'd just move away from the city and to the outskirts to get one that didnt have a waiting list. Thats just me though.

Its the only dealer within a 100mile radius.

Its a city wealthy with oil money and if they are only getting 2 cars a month I can well believe they are all gone.

I was in Crow Road dealer in Glasgow past few days and you can get one for end of May just now even showed me the order screen.

They dont have a tester until early May though .

Are they not just telling you 6 months so you jump at it buddy ?

Thats what I thought, but if its the only garage in aberdeen within 100 miles then they could well have a few orders.

Crow Road, is that the Jordanhill dealer ? If it is I was gonna visit them next, what else were they saying ? The guys at Merrylee were pretty good and said all dealers will get their test cars in mid May.

Verve in Glasgow don't even know if they are getting one, which makes me think that since they don't seem to have any on order apart from mine, maybe it will arrive really quickly!

Was just in Hawco in Inverness at the weekend and they rekon they will be getting a GTI within the next week. Aparently they can display it before the official launch on 22May but nobody is allowed to test drive it until then.

Has anyone heard if there dealer has one on show yet?

They have one on display in York I believe, but not seen myself yet. Would probably get depressed if I saw it. :)
