Title: Mid-December!!!!
Post by: steven_9709 on 12 September 2009, 18:36
Ordered my GTI 3 weeks ago, and just found out today that it's now got a build week (dealer didn't say what it was) and he expects I'll get it around mid-December!!!

After reading and seeing pictures from those that have already got their, I'm gutted! It'd better be worth the wait!  :cool:

I reckon you need to contact your stealer, I'm sure you should have a build week by now.  I ordered mine 23rd May and had a build week by second week in June.  Collected 29th July and haven't looked back.

I ordered mine on Aug 28th and have been given a build week of 40 (Sept 28th). Any ideas as to when I will actually get it?
Title: Re: Mid-December!!!!
Post by: p3asa on 14 September 2009, 11:19
Anything between 2 to 4 weeks after build date is the norm.
Which in theory could make you only have had a 6 week wait!!  Maybe they had a car already in the system with those specs.

After a delay of a couple of weeks mine is now here and ready for collection early next week.

How do I sleep? :tongue:

Ordered end of June.

I know how you feel.
Did you list or spec you went for as that often effects build time and did you find out your build week or like me just told december?

Went for a Carbon Grey DSG, with 18" alloys, Xenons, Parking Sensors, Leather. Didn't get a build week, was just told by the dealer of a provisional handover date of mid-December

Spoke to my dealer today and found out my build week is week 47, so I guess that's the last week in November?

Hi
i ordered mine a little over a week ago - I was advised that I would get it around "mid December", I hope in time for the VAT increase, saving 2.5% is at least a few litres of petrol if anything.

Still kinda apprehensive about it - no doubt I would absolutely adore the car, but it's just the cost as it's a lotta dough, in fact the most I've ever spent on any one thing. Perhaps I'm not the only one? I read somewhere that apart from your house, your car is probably the most expensive thing you will ever buy, and probably the most vulnerable. Actually I think I read that on a Police car crime leaflet!

I think it's kinda like having Keeley Hazell as a girlfriend - properly fit as hell but will get attention EVERYWHERE - not just the nice kinda attention but the attention like gits who like to key the side of the car, smash windows, jacked whilst waiting at red lights, steal keys whilst I'm sleeping - it's all I've been thinking about! Please tell me it's normal.... or do I need to go see the doctor? Or should I just not have the car? I'll just keep the boring one for now...

Rolfe - what spec did you get?

5-door
Blue Graphite (pearl)
DSG
ACC
Sunroof
Winter pack
Luxury pack
Flat tyre indicator

He's called Prospero (continuing a theme of Tempest car names), and he is totally, completely and unreservedly gorgeous.

2 Months, thats quite quick, maybe i should hassle the dealer to get my build week to get a better idea of when to expect mine.

Now got a confirmed build week of wk 46 (w/c 9th November I guess).
