Having ordered on 23rd May this week sees me collecting my new car :grin: :grin:I shall be off to the dealers first thing Wednesday morning. It has seemed a life time of waiting but now the moment is nearly here - 2 more sleepless nights :laugh:
-
Nice one! Though part of me can't help thinking that once upon a time this forum was just full of frustrated peeps with cars on order, tinkering with specs and trying to dodge the flak from MkV owners.
Now we're actually getting cars, its not quite the same....
Jealous? Me? Never!! :p

Hey, bet you can't wait, i have just had a call from the dealer to say that mine has been built early (even though it was supposed to be build week 31 which starts today) and will be here in less than 2 weeks!!!
So excited but i can tell this is going to be eventful.
1 - i have lost the vehicle reg document which i need to transfer the number plate so have just had to get a new one sent today. They better be quick as then i am going to need to post it onto the dealer and there is a strike apparently on Friday!!!
2 - The dealer advised i will need my licence to collect / sign the finance ... erm slight problem. The DVLA told me my licence was about to expire so i have had to send both parts to get it renewed and it only got posted on Friday so who knows when I will see it again.
3 - I called direct line to try and amend my policy for my new car. Now i know that they will not insure me on my new car and i explained this at the time but requested they send it off to the underwriters to see if they will quote me as i am a long term customer and i only have 4 months of the policy left and will lose a years no claims for nothing. After saying they cant do it point blank, 15 mins later they come up with a price of GBP 65.10 additionally which, not in a million years can be right as i am currently group 13 and i am moving to 17!! (got points and made a claim 2 years ago) Shall have to wait to see what comes through on the paperwork she is sending me for my new vehicle ... i know its got to be wrong or this is the steel of the century as i was about to spend £900 on a policy with someone else!!!
Apart from that, it better go smoothly as im stressing about this!!!
ARGGHHH, shall just think positive!!!!

If it sounds too good to be true it often is. Id call them back and get that insurance stuff sorted ASAP. As for you driving license, call the dealer and explain why you dont have it, Im sure you can come to some agreement.
-
Hmm week 31, mine was week 34 so potentially could be being built now or next week :)
Here's hoping...

Just spoke to the dealer and they said we will cross that bridge if you dont have it when it is ready for collection! surely they can take my passport and other utility bills??!!!
Im going to wait till i get the paperwork from Direct Line for what they have actually quoted me on and then call them back to discuss it. Should be with me tomorrow or the next day anyway.

Well i only found out on week 29 that it would be week 31 that it was to be built so don't know how that changed, but yeah i guess it could come forward!
Has anyone else had their car built a week before the build week?
-
Damn you all !
-
Damn you all !
agreed!! mine is week 36 and i ordered on may 4th!!
-
I ordered 8th July, and I don't have a build week at all yet. They said, try Tuesday (which is now tomorrow). Last Tuesday, when I called, they said they could see cars on the system with build weeks 33 and 34, but there was nothing down for mine.
How does the build week relate to the actual delivery date?

i think once the car has a build week you can expect to take delivery in 2-3 weeks - but its getting the build week! how can you have a build week of 34 when you ordered in july and mine is 36 and i ordered 4th may? that's just so unfair!! *stomps feet*

What spec is yours being built to? Most peeps who ordered in May have now got their cars or are soon to take delivery. Are you sure your dealer placed the order on 4th May? sounds like you should take issue with your dealer. You must be really p....d off!!!! :sad: :angry:

It could be right as i ordered mine on 02May and its just built (a week earlier than planned)

Potentially mine might be an existing but unallocated car on the waiting list that has had its spec changed to suit.
July to Sep is still an 8 week wait though. Worth it to get exactly the spec I want though :)
-
the spec is no different to any other really, xenons, 18" monzas, leather, winter pack, luxury pack, rcd510 with dynaudio, black 5dr - its not a lambo or anything lol! to say i'm really p1ssed off is an understatement - especially as i sold my mk 5 a week ago so having to drive the wife's old car which is a piece of sh1t!!!

No, please unstomp! I don't have a build week at all yet. It's just that when I rang my dealer he looked on the system and said he could see other cars there with 33 (and one 34) allocated - I've no idea when these cars were actually ordered.
Some people seem to have got theirs 9 or 10 weeks after ordering though, so yours does seem rather slow.

I am collecting my car this Friday at noon! I will have a look at it tomorrow though and if all is well, I might just disappear after noon time on Friday... and not come back to work... muawahahaahaha... I will post some pics of the car... Its hard to describe the feeling that the wait is almost over...
-
Damn you all !
If you had ordered it back when you said you were going to, maybe you'd have it by now :tongue:
-
I think I will phone my dealer tomorrow to see what build week mine is. I put the order in june sometime and was told that I should get it early Sept.

I said for months I was going to order at the end of July, I ordered on the 21st July. Knob.
