Title: September / October / November Orders
Post by: avalon on 02 November 2009, 16:03
Seeing we are now in a new month and many of us have ordered new cars in the past quarter, perhaps a new topic is appropriate to keep tabs on who's getting what and when.

Now, I know I'm going to be hyper-jealous with all you guys ordering R's and others getting dealer allocation / builds weeks well ahead of me, but as others have posted, the wait will be worth it.

Here goes:

o            September 25th Gti DSG, 5 Door, Tornado Red

Dont be naive enough to think that there is only 500 coming to this country. U think if they sell 500 at £35,000 a pop there wont be another boat full making its way over faster then u can sip your morning coffee?
 If u think im lying ask the edition 30 boys lol they got bent over and shafted by VW

Very true!!  It was supposed to be a limited run of 1500 and ended up being in excess of 2300 (UK only!)
I got my numbered plaque in the post the weekend after my car was written off  :angry:

The dealer release is worded such that it's not a strictly limited run:
"As we expect production volumes for 2010 to be approximately 500 cars..."

Is that 500 in total... or 500 Golfs and 500 Roccos? It's deliberately vague. :rolleyes:

Oh, and a numbered plaque would be nice for the R. :laugh:

Sorry to pollute the orders thread.

True - we get too hung up about unconfirmed build weeks.  VW only confirm the build week 3 weeks before its due to be built.
Title: Re: September / October / November Orders
Post by: Snoopy on 24 November 2009, 16:00
^About 3 weeks is about average from what i have seen so far.

True - we get too hung up about unconfirmed build weeks.  VW only confirm the build week 3 weeks before its due to be built.
VW Customer service and my dealer both said 4 to 5 weeks from the build week is when its normally confirmed, but thats when its running smooth  :grin: so not now :grin:

Will be interesting to see how all our orders get on looking at the Aug ones.
My dealer stated def will be March, and could have the car in late Feb (and therefore miss the VAT rise but sod that!), but reading the posts, guessing what day in March lol! Think I'll call my dealer tomorrow to check up (they've called me a few times but trying to sell me new brake pads for current golf).

Had a weid day, spotted a new GTI mk6 in black - very nice. Then pulled up next to a non-gti MK6 in a car park later in the evening. Looked very nice inside with the white lit dash, much better than the blue. Roll on next year!

Good luck to everyone regarding their orders!!!

delevery date could take up to a year my dealer said  :huh:

You must've missed his allocation then. 
My dealer told me yesterday that hes placed orders for 7 Golf R's and about 5 Scirocco R's - but he's only got comission numbers on 2 x Golf's and 1 x Scirocco.  Thankfully my Golf is the 1st one!
He said that the other 5 Golfs will gradually get comissioned throughout next year - so some of them might be waiting 6 months to a year.

Everyone laughed at me putting down a £500 deposit so early - but it looks like it might have paid off!!

Anyway...

Mine has 2!  He did say he always had a very high GTI allocation becuase they sell so many of them.
Still worth calling some other dealers to make sure there's not a space somewhere.

Please can more people cancel their GTIs. Hopefully, I'll get my R before the end of the year then and avoid the VAT rise. :huh:

not unless we get our cars by march 1st (no chance!)

Ah - that's right we still get 2.5% discount if delivered before 1st March 2010.

At least we're avoiding the 2.4% price increase for 2010:

Surely, VW can't put the price of the R up even more! :laugh:

Post by: daviescotland on 15 December 2009, 21:28

My dealer mentioned the price increase when i was ordering back in October. He said although they had had no word there would be an increase at that point, historically VW always had a price increase in january. I thought he was at it at the time as i didn't think the VAT AND the price would rise.... sorry dealer  :embarassed:

Thats just plain stupid, a further price rise, plus VAT rise, plus long delayed lead times....

Even if it did arrive in Feb - would you really want to put a 59 plate on it when you could wait a week and have a 10 plate?!
I'll definately be waiting - but then my dealer has agreed to pay half of the VAT increase if its after Feb 28th.

Hollo
not been on here in a bit
ordered mine originally 15/09/09 base model candy white with monzas and the storage pack *cough*
i was told week 52 at some point
stealer has now told me its looking like week 6 or 9 or something - and i'll have to pay the normal VAT now. bit peed off about that.

Interestingly the dealer tried offering me one they had in the showroom, brand new in red 3 doors. I still wasn't keen on a 3 door.
sitting inside it though damn made me want my own one so much - not even since the test drive in Sept did i want one so bad
i don't think any other car i will ever buy will have such a long wait on the waiting list

i've been considering getting one of these for years though, what's another few months?
if it comes at the right time though, it will be a 10 plate. will defo look forward to that.

i just pray that when i *eventually* get it after waiting numerous months, no sodding chav nicks it off me leaving me only a week or something to enjoy it, i think i would actually cry

my mk6 is at the dealers today - they are debadging it ( or atleast i've asked them 4 times to do it so I expect the badges to be there when I collect ).

Just had my road angel removed from the mk5 and need to empty all the crap out..

Collection of the mk6 is 10am on 23rd..then straight to the local ICE centre for hardwiring of the road angel...

I spoke to mine a few weeks back about the delays as listed on here.

They mentioned that it was currently looking like a couple of weeks later than the start of March at the moment, and it did not have a build week. However they seem to think that the backlog will be cleared and my build week will be around the same time, end of Feb, for March delivery as stated.

We will wait and see.

One of the other dealers i went to whilst looking also said that in the new year production would pick up. He's also the one who mentioned the price rise thats coming in January as he said VW always raise their prices in January.

They faxed off the amended order with my comission no. only to be told they could not change the order! they were told the only way would be to cancel the order and re order
which would have lost me my BW12 (probably be B40 if that happened) anyway they contacted the head of VW in the UK who said " leave it with me".........

Well I queried my order for my GTD today and guess what the dealer hasn't even ordered it yet.  He gave me some bull about they haven't be allocated any slots for GTDs since I ordered it on the 29/10/09.  Likely hood of getting in March ZERO.  Likely hood of getting it this year (2010) maybe.  I am absolutly mad.  asked about the VAT told no way I am getting it at 15%.  What about my trade in price, well we will have to revisit that.

Currently on hold with VW customer service 28mins and counting. Fury building.

That really is shocking, but from what i've seen on here, i'm not surprised. Not sure when my dealer ordered mine, but he says it's ordered and i suppose we are all in their hands until you finally see the car in the flesh.

All the best with VWCS mate

Hopefully snoopy. I was BW07, but that was a couple of weeks ago when i asked at the dealers. I think i will leave it until the start of February to avoid getting my hopes built for nothing.

Title: Re: September / October / November Orders
Post by: GolfTi on 16 January 2010, 20:46
My take on this.

VW reduced their production because of reduced demand in the recession.
Therefore their suppliers were forced to reduce output also.
VW are now having some problems with suppliers who can't (or won't) meet their demands.

You can't really blame VW for cutting back in a recession - the worst possible thing for them would be to have over supply and loads of cars unsold at the ports/factories. It takes time to adjust to increased demand for the manufacturers and the suppliers.

Also I think VW are a little conservative and are trying to keep supply slightly below current demand. Hence the delays.

The GTI is a brilliant car and worth waiting for.

I've not had an update from dealer since my order (but I expected this as we discussed it was no point calling me until Feb, closer to the expected date (1st March). Ignorance is bliss in this case as not got worked up about build week changes etc lom. However, now it's getting closer to the delivery date (was told could have it in mid Feb if I wanted but have held out for 1st march and new reg), starting to think about calling up to ask how things are.... like an ostridge with it's head sand you could say ;)

Think I'll give them a call later today for a sitrep... place your bets now.... ordered 22nd Oct, was told (but not sure if confirmed or not) BW03......

GGRRRR !

I was told a while back that build week 4 is week commencing 18th (so this week).
Have now found out that build week 4 is w/c 25th. D`oh.
That means that collecting in the 3rd week of Feb aint so likely, I`m off that week.

Upto build week 5 was confirmed last week. So if it did not change it will be confirmed. If I get what your saying right then you have not asked since october. Good luck with it still been BW03 i very much doubt it is though.

Well I spoke to VWCS today and to say the least there is no hope of getting my GTD ordered anytime soon.  Basically they are saying that my VW dealer  has used up all its allocations for the quarter and so cannot order any cars (backed up by them).  My order was placed on October 29th 2009.  I asked what would happen with VAT got the line which basically translates as "Tough".  When will allocations be available basically got "No Idea, when ever the factory decides" the only way to get one is to find a dealer with allocation left or find an existing car in stock (pre reg or used).  How much would that cost me £6K!!! + loss of value on trade in + Cam belt + road tax + servicing + tyres.  What a cop out this is a major car manufacturer what are they doing? Seriously considering cancelling...(wait a minute lets do a mass cancelling scheme and save Vauxhall (joke?? :grin:)). :cry:

My advice if you are going to order a Mk6 Golf ensure they are actually ordering it and not just taking your deposit maybe all these build weeks dealers are quoting are just bull. (p.s. This may only apply to GTD/GTI's not sure)

What I feel sorry for are the dealers as they are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Do you be honest with your customers and tell them potentially losing the sales? or do you lie and hope that they don't moan too much or cancel.

Still a Mk5 driver (and for a while it sounds).

Man, thats sounds crap.

So, basically, you have no idea when your car is going to be built?

I`d be seeeing if you can get your deposit back and go to a bigger dealer thats got allocation left.
I`d read about someone else having the same issue before I ordered mine and so I asked the specific
question about whether they had allocation left and he went away and confirmed that they did, though he did say that
they could also use allocation from any of their other dealerships.

I got a call this morning from my dealer just to sort out the free loan car for monday.
Obviously got talking about the delivery of the GTD and me reckons VW will push to get as many cars through as possible so they can report healthy first quarter sales/market share.

I hoping to get the car before the end of March.

If I were in your postion ajmoir I would be asking my dealer to find me a GTD in the dealer network that closest fits your spec (you could even point them in the right direction by using the used car section on the offical VW website)
and get them to work a deal out for you. Ie they negoiate a deal with the other VW dealer and they honor the trade in arrangments etc, etc, it worth a shot.

My dealer was saying that they have two GTI orders sitting on their books and they cant order them until April with an expected delivery August, Probably applies for the GTD too.

Whatever you decide, good luck

Wow I would have nearly waiting a year by then that is ridiculous!

The only problem with trying to get a spec close to my spec is that there are no GTD's in Red 5 door manuals anywhere (I hated the DSG I drove).  Also mine is ordered as a family discount so it would cost signifcantly more.

The longer I wait the more my used car devalues and the more I have to spend on it Cam belt, servicing e.t.c.

Is life just tryng to tell me don't buy a new car???

Fair play to ta, well done, in a bizzar sort of way I have starting to appreicate the wait! Didnt you completely switch your order?
You could have avioded paying a deposit by telling the dealer it's gonna be a lease purchase through a finance company, they dont expect a deposit. When the day comes to pay to pay however you like, they dont care.

The Golf R didn't really exist until 30th October over here, so my deposit was just keeping the no.1 slot in the dealers queue.

Booo looks like the dealers "100% sure it will be March 1st, and can have the car in mid Feb" when I order the car back in Oct was pants. :sick: 
It's just over a months delay on the orginal 1st March delivery date (1 & 1/2 if you could the dealers original mid Feb estimate). Will accept for now after reading all the posts on this (thanks guys for all the feed back on everyone's orders. So wasn't a nasty supprise). I'll hang in there as he's said "100%" worst case first week in April", but if it gets pushed back again will consider binning the order as not going though the same crap getting messed about like got when I bought the MkV GTI.

@ jellycat

thats bad news. Hopefully it doesn't get put back any further.

You know, that was exactly what the dealer told me also, at time of ordering. Think i'm now looking at mid March, if my BW07 gets confirmed next week. Not blaming my dealer, it seems VWUK are at it.

Fingers crossed :smiley:

Cheers daviescotland, good luck with your order too mate!

I'm going to call my dealer tomorrow just to check if that build week is confirmed or unconfirmed, and to double check that the price hasn't changed.

Does anyone know what the cancelation \ deposit situation is? I recall there's something about if the delay is more than x days then you get 100% back.
Basically I'm going to tell him that I'll accept the months delay, but won't except any further plus what are my options relating to canning the order as can't be arsed at getting messed about again as went through this with our current 3 door GTI. That was starting to be a right pain getting our little one in\out, last year hence bought a new 5 door GTI, but now it's really starting to hack off the wife off as this will be her car when it turns up and she's fed up waiting. I went to look at a new ML as a potential replacement option if the order slips again, or will just by an exdemo GTI if I can get the same \ similar.

I got my deposit back no problem, originally ordered and paid £500 in Aug, In Jan got fed up and just needed to arrange for the money to be paid back to my debit card.  The dealer did say that they were going to keep the order for themselves and just delete a few options.

Hi Guys,

Bit of an update on my order (I added my 31st Dec order to the list above).  Placed order and deposit on 31st December and was advisd mid-March delivery.  I called up today and was told that the order was placed with VW on 8th January and, as yet, a BW has not been assigned.  The guy at the dealership was honest and stated he felt it would be well into April before I receive it.

He claimed there is a shortage with GTi engines at the moment, and this was driving the delay (not sure if true - probably just an excuse)

He did say that the car would be delivered to me 3weeks after he build date -car has to come into the country, vigorous quality checks etc, and then road transported up here.

Thankfully I'm in a position where I am not desperate for the car and am happy to wait, but I'm certainly now being quoted 4 weeks on top of my original delivery date.

Stu

So, we've had lack of radio's, insufficient steering wheels - and now engines!

Wasnt a lack of engines the original excuse back in September?!  If weve a shortage of Xenon headlamps next then we're getting the excuses coming in circles!

Starting to get board now, and eyes are starting to wander to other shiney toys . Stuggeling between hanging in, GTI is actually going to the wife or as a shopping car, however thinking hmmm...... maybe... how about a 4 door M3 (V8 sounds sweet, but would just would need to drive with a paper bag on head), or maybe an ML oil burner (again with a paper bag on head so don't get swampy, leave\nut eating enviromentalist types in getting upset at me. I'll make sure it's one of them reusable shopping bags to be nice).

The Dealer said Mid march build week, then 2 weeks delivery so worst case late march or first week in April.

Ah bugger....
I did chuckle when on mock the week that they felt sorry for people with 4x4's. All the show was the first time they could validate one for the school run, but couldn't use them as the school closed lol.

I had an unconfirmed build week of 9. It then moved to 12 and has now moved to 20 !!
The dealer says it's common for the unconfirmed build weeks to move around and they seem to change almost weekly. anyone else been told this ?

I really would like the Golf but i'm not sure i want to wait this long.  :sad:
my company car policy states my car has to be under 5 years and although they have been quite flexible on this i promised i'd get a new one soon last october and my cars now 8 years old, so VW are not helping by tempting me with the golf gti and then not been able to deliver in a reasonable time scale.

anyone had a unconfirmed build week that then came closer ?

Your dealer is a liar!  I told you this when you ordered a few weeks ago that you'd NEVER get your car by March.  Looks like I was right.

Post by: ajmoir36 on 26 January 2010, 15:21
To my knowlefge my order still hasn't even been ordered since I placed it in October - no allocations.  It annoys me how others can order cars and even get them before mine can even be put in the queue that is just worng. :cry: March/April/May pah try August/September/October.
Title: Re: September / October / November Orders
Post by: avalon on 26 January 2010, 15:46
^^^ - I think you'll find [as oft posted] it's down to dealer allocation.

If a dealer has cars available to order from VW then they can place your order and you'll then sit in the queue for a build week. If not then you wait til they have ... simple really, but the dealer has to be upfront before he takes your loot!.

I'm still waiting for a BW but I knew there'd be a delay [zzzz] as the dealer didn't have any allocation.


Ava
Title: Re: September / October / November Orders
Post by: Fanters on 26 January 2010, 16:03


Well i assume he had allocation as he gave me a build number so i assume it's in a queue but just not confirmed yet. As for the loot he hasn't got any. I initially had an order with another dealer and placed £1000 deposit, they couldn't order by end of Dec so i cancelled and got my money back and ordered with Stoke-on-trent VW but they said they didn't need a deposit. So i guess it;s easy for me to cancel as i have nothing to lose. However i'd rather wait for now, in the hope it comes sooner rather than later.



Title: Re: September / October / November Orders
Post by: avalon on 26 January 2010, 16:12
Sorry - yes, one 'step' ommitted:

The dealer can give you a commission number and that then goes in VW system. Before it turns in to a build week it needs to allocated to a monthly schedule.

All he said was that its loged as factory order. However he did say he was 75% sure the order would not be moved back by adding the sunroof , what ever that means ?

Like anyone I want to drive the car as soon as possible , however I will be quite happy to even get the car in June ready for the summer driving.

I did exactly the same as you mate, I added the same option too :wink: . Basically adding an option if theres a shortage of it or say it has to go on a slightly different line to be assembled as the cars are grouped in batches it may move the build week back a small amount in other words delay it. Mine did not. It does not meen your car is not ordered it simply meens the car is not locked for production which basically meens they have not started picking the parts for it. If its down as factory ordered its ordered from the factory by vwuk and is in the que, factory ordered meens its in one of two states, Its either a) waiting for a provisional build slot, b)has a build slot provisionally and is slowly working its way along to the top of the list until it gets locked/confirmed about 4 to 5 weeks before the build week date.

Hello everyone
    This my first posting and regarding delivery dates I can empathise with every one despairing at the long wait for their cars. I ordered a GTI 5door tornado red, only option cruise control as I have it on my mk5  GTI and use it all the time. Order placed 12th september09, told around  6 months which Ithought then was a heck of a long wait.
 Last week informed delivery now late April.
Incidentally am I one of the oldest GTI owners, I'm 67?

If I am healthy enough I would love to drive a GTI when I am 67 so I take my hat off to you.
Cant for the life of me understand why VW can’t cope with the orders. Think build dates also come down to dealer allotments. Im told I will get my car last week in March first week April. Personally I cant see it going by the feed back on here.

I don't want to p1ss on your parade - but according to my dealer mine was confirmed BW10, then BW09 and now BW10 again.  BW's aren't really confirmed until about 2 weeks before - so don't hold your breath!
You'll probably find BW07's are being confirmed about now.

What i was told by someone at VWcs (not the phone answeres), it may help some of you guys work out when yours maybe getting confirmed by the factory.
Week starting 18th Jan, on the Tuesday and Thursdays, with the computer update, Build week 6 cars were confirmed and a few of the Build week 7 cars.
Week starting 25th Jan, on the tue & thurs, Build week 7 cars were confirmed.
and so on and so on.

So unless your cars a build week 8 or a luckie early build week 9, i would not put money on it been confirmed/locked just yet.
Title: Re: September / October / November Orders
Post by: JellyCat on 07 February 2010, 16:00
So basically the dealer is feeding me bullsh!t about the BW being confirmed?? I even asked if this means it's locked in and wont be delayed again etc. was told yes.

Doh... should have recalled that I was talking to a car dealer.

How many people  have tried something like webuyanycar.com etc? Seems to be a little more on their web site  than what you get from a dealer for a partx

Was going to try for a private sale, but just worried about somneone turning up with no insurance \ testing the car or etc (also not sure howmuch extra I'd get for a private sale (seems to only be about an extra 1k or so).
Title: Re: September / October / November Orders
Post by: Snoopy on 07 February 2010, 16:03
webuyanycar. They do offer a good price on the net BUT when you turn up at there locations they go over the car with a fine toothcomb and anything they can use to knock the price they quoted down they will.
Title: Re: September / October / November Orders
Post by: JellyCat on 07 February 2010, 19:27
true, would have expected that, guess they think that they're on site with you, your car and cash ready to go and the knowledge that you want a quick sale so..... can't blame them. Guess need to be honest on their site re the condition of your car before they attend.

For me would be a case of if greater offer than dealer then cool let's do it, if not then bye-bye.

what's everyone's thoughts about if the prices will drop much when traded-in during late March (i.e new reg and guessing plenty of cars about following people trading in their cars)?

Title: Re: September / October / November Orders
Post by: danski on 08 February 2010, 10:08
Talking about We Buy Any Car...back when I ordered my new Golf, they were offering £7300 for my car, dealers offered £7500, so figured I would maybe get more on a private sale, but couldnt be bothered...anyway, sent an email to the dealers asking for some freebies the other day (if you dont ask you dont get), to be told that all the discount/freebies available were in my trade in valuation and they were holding the price they first quoted even though I`m still driving it. OK I thought, I`ll go see what WBAC are offering now....£6100  :shocked:
Think I`ll stick with the trade in as offered, and think myself lucky.  :rolleyes:

Just got this from my lease company :-

"Please note that the estimated delivery date for your vehicle has slipped form 31/03/10 to 26/04/10 this is because there are delays with the GTi/GTD production and issues the manufacturers are facing with the malfunctioning steering wheels."

Anyone know of any problems with the steering wheels? I'm guessing thats a typo in the email I got that says "malfunctioning" but maybe means "multifunction"?

Thanks,

James.

I have made some adjustments to my order, dealer said will not effect build week.
Pearl Black
Xenon lights
Added Sunroof
Added Folding Wing Mirrors
501 music unit with Dynaudio Speakers.
Cancelled Monza Shadow Alloys for Standard wheels as I am going to buy a set of BBS Alloys now.
Next dilemma is choosing the right tyers ? Normally I go for Michelin but im now not sure. Living in central Scotland a tyre that is good in the wet is important. Any recommendations out there.

That doesn't make sense, this week is build week 6? is it not?

And why 4 weeks pick up from build week, I thought it was 3 maximum?

Hmm, yes you are right, sorry.  They must have brought it forward a couple of weeks, hurrah.

But definitely saying that it will be second week in March, so week beginning 8th of March.  Maybe thats just be being overly pessimistic given previous form, plus I want a 10 plate having waited this long.

Hello all, not sure if this is the best place to post but thought it better than starting a new thread...

Just about to order a company lease Golf GTI. The agent said worst case scenario 17 weeks - so delivery beginning of June. He tells me it's longer than usual because of a four week delay VW had but they are catching up so should be mid May onwards.

Does this sound like a likely story? I've been scanning this thread and have noticed that some of you have been waiting six months. Can I get a build week from him before I order or is that something that comes after the order? Bearing in mind I'm one step away from the dealer (because the agent is offering a fantastic price).

Any help or advice appreciated as the June date is as far as I can go 'cos my current company car has to go back (and would be due it's first MOT).

Cheers, and hope you don't mind me posting in this thread!

Put those Monza shadows back on the order I will buy them off you for what they cost as an option.

Even if I didnt buy them you can get good money for them

Phone call from dealer to say my car is now showing "production complete" . According to him it went direct from confirmed BW07 to production complete.

Happy days, just waiting for it to get over here now.

Am i right in thinking it will be a couple of weeks?

The consensus would appear to be that production is being ramped up and that cars are actually now being built/delivered. :laugh:

Certainly dont accept delivery before 01/03/10!

So could be then, that most will get a week or 2 week earlier build week over the next few weeks?

After reading the thread regarding winter tyres I actually want to keep the none up graded wheels for use in the winter months by putting winter tyres on them then changing back to the BBS come the spring.

Yes your correct in thinking that. I was told by VWcs shipping normally takes 5 to 10 days.

Still on BW 9. Car ordered 16 December 2009. So no change so far.
Dealer e-mailed yesterday to say that they will be able to give me more details at the start of BW9. Nothing before then. I enquired when the car would be locked down. They could not give me an answer, obviously.
Also, they expect the car to be shipped during BW10 if it is built during BW9.
Feel no more informed than before.
Quite close to cancelling the order and getting a Mercedes C Class 350 CDI Sport Auto. Guaranteed delivery 15th March.
The wait continues.

Mine did exactly the same, confirmed BW07.  In fact I was in the dealers on Monday arranging Gap / Lifeshine, and on Dialog it was showing still BW07 confirmed.  Phone call yesterday revealed that it was built and awaiting a VIN number.

I found out about this today - its only if its 20 weeks LATE.  eg. If you were originally given a build week of 5, and it still hadn't turned up by week 25, then you'd get one. 
Its highly unlikely anyone will ever be 20 weeks late

Post by: Snoopy on 12 February 2010, 19:40
I found out about this today - its only if its 20 weeks LATE.  eg. If you were originally given a build week of 5, and it still hadn't turned up by week 25, then you'd get one. 
Its highly unlikely anyone will ever be 20 weeks late
I guess there telling people different things to get out of it as its costing them a fortune! I was told 20 weeks from the order date placed on the dialog ordering system by my case hander at VWcs. When i questioned if i qualify it took them a few days to come back and say no as i was not part exchanging a car. :sad:

I was told by VWcs that I should get a car after 20 weeks of waiting.  My dealer investigated and told me it was 20 weeks late.  Today I had a call from one of the heads of VW UK regarding several letters of complaint I have written - including one about how incompetent their CW staff were.  He apologised a lot and told me the same as my dealer - that courtesy cars were offered after 20 weeks late - otherwise they'd lose a fortune handing cars out left right and centre since their build times were so slow at the moment.

He said if it was any consolation that he had to wait 6 months for his wifes car, so there is no employee preferential treatment for build times!  :laugh:

I ordered with the dealer on the 12th September. The build week is provisionaly week 11.meaning I may get the car, a red 5  door, only extra cruise control sometime in April. I guess I can't afford to spec the car up like some of  you guys on here!

Shame they did not have a red car somewere in stock as the dealer can retrofit cruise control as its in the accessory catalogue.

12

I spend a fair amount of time in Milton Keynes and I reckon that's where the shortage of Golfs are.. They're everywhere including a pretty tidy black 10 plate GTI which passed me heading onto the M1 Jct 12 on Sunday.. Surely it's just a coincidence that VW UK's HO is based there  ???  :undecided:

My build week has also gone back again, from week 12 back to week 15. (ordered GTI 5 door, dsg, 29th October)

Only upside is VW customer services confirmed they would honour the VAT difference by discounting the car by another 2.5%. Both VW and my dealer also confirmed I would be getting a "support" vehicle in March till it arrives. And finally also some form of goodwill...

Just been chasing them every week for an update. They had always mentioned they were looking at the VAT discount, but yesterday was the first time someone at VW confirmed it. They said the dealer would discount the car themselves by the 2.5% then claim this back from VW? As for a loan car, I had been reading on here about the 20 week rule being from when the car was due - so didn't have my hopes up but both dealer and VW confirmed I would get one in March.

Just been up to the dealers this afternoon for a quick look at my new car. It's still got the transit protection on it, and transit blocks. But it's looking good.

No aerial on the roof, i didn't realise they didn't have an aerial. Anyway he's now given me my new registration and paperwork has been signed so just a few days left.... can't wait.  :smiley: :smiley:

Aye, the aug/sept orders all seem to be a bit of a nightmare, but now appear to be coming through. Mine was here a week after it was built, which i thought was quick, so i think you could be in for a 01st march too possibly??

Just had confirmation, and the screenprint to prove it, that the car is awaiting shipment from Emden to Grimsby.  It has been at the port since Saturday so hopefully will be shipped shortly  :laugh:

i've had a call from my dealer today, he's confirmed that it will be Build Week 9 - the stealer expects it can be delivered to me around end of March.
i managed to blag about £100 off the GAP insurance, although i will still have to pay VAT increase, and i've half realised GAP insurance is a bit of a rip off really, but in my case i still think i probably should have it. although this should be good news, in comparison to what i've lost in my current car i'm still annoyed (like everybody else) i've had to wait this long - i really hope this is worth the wait and the money

Well, had a call from the dealer today and am a bit gutted.  I placed an order for a white 5 door DSG GTI on 31st Dec.  Was originally told mid-March, then April and have just been told it is going to be June or July at the earliest!  :sad:

I'm going into speak to them later this week but I'm not waiting that long - especially with a depreciating trade in - think I'll cancel and get something else.  Best of luck to those who are waiting though!

I really feel for all guys and gals.
It is totally ridiculous to treat customers in this way.
I am mad for all of you. :angry:
Hope the quality of the cars are not a reflection on VWs abilities of production foibles.
I am slightly dreading the day when I get my car.

Feel for you. I was told the same, in the end i ordered on the 2nd feb. Been told i won't see it until Aug, but i'll probably hang in there for the new plates.

Yes I hope that they aren't rushing them out just to get the orders completed. i pray not to find bits of the dashboard coming off under acceleration, or more worse the wheels coming off because they weren't bolted on properly, or the engine catching fire or the radio being stuck on talkSport or some crap.

damn never thought of that.... and i'm getting candy white, which is supposed to be the worst colour right?  :cry: i've waited this long. in fact if you count the time i've been seriously 'thinking' about getting a GTI it's probably about 2 years, a few more weeks won't matter if the car ends up being perfect.
i guess there is nothing really i can do, i just have to hope that the all is well with the materials and during the build nobody falls asleep

well, if I get the car by the end of March, that would mean about 16 weeks from order to delivery  -  judging by what some of you are saying, that's pretty good.

@ p3eps
thats good news. My dealer has been trying deperately to get me to register my car before the 01/03. I think it's so he can get VW to honour the VAT instead i'm holding out as originally agreed when i ordered  :smiley:

Hi Guys,

I just cant work out VW's schedule - I ordered on 31st December and found out yesterday I have a locked BW20 which is delivery in early June.  Some of the orders on here are only two weeks earlier, yet the cars are scheduled for April.  I'm not jealous - really  :evil:

I thought about cancelling, but I am consoling myself that it will be worth it so will probably wait.  Anyone heard of a BW being moved forward?

Build weeks move all over so yes it may mov forward.
Also i bet alot of others who are getting theres quickly have actually got build slots from previous cars that were cancelled orders or cars pre-ordered by the dealer :wink: The dealer simply changed the spec to suit and never told them :evil:

I will now let you into a little secret.
You are right.
My car was pre-ordered by the dealer in June 2009, so I am told.
My order went through on 16th December.
Car was originally BW2 but then was moved to BW9.

Hi everyone,
           I ordered my 5 door GTI on the 12th Sept. and have just had build week 11 confirmed, thank goodness the end is in sight at last. My current GTI almost needs 2 new tyres and a service but naturally I'm hoping to trade in without doing either. Trade in price guarenteed from Sept. so no point.

Good news. My build week has been confirmed!  :laugh:

It's been pushed back from BW9 to BW11 but at least it's confirmed now. Delivery will be april 15. I can almost smell the new-car now!  :tongue:

I've also changed my spec to 3-door and reflex silver.

Nice one!  -  I'm BW 9 so, apparently, happening now  -  delivery for you on 15 April....I wonder if that means I'm definitely 1 April. I wanted, a couple of weeks ago, to change from 3 to 5 door but my delaer said too late and that my BW was fixed  -  when did you change your spec?

the dealer did tell me at week 7 that I could have changed the spec up to about week 5. I'm ok about getting the

Do a search there has been a few posts on this latley and a few internet companys recomended at around half to a third that price.

Yep, I got a `return to invoice` quote for £205 off an internet company, with max claim of 25k.
Thing is, check with your insurance company, I did with mine - Brentacre - and they told me that Highway (who I`m really insured with) replace like for like on new cars for the first year, so I`m thinking that I dont need gap cover till after then.

You can also get 10% off if you go via Quidco, plus I'm sure they used to offer voucher codes so maybe worthwhile searching the voucher websites.

Was at Arnold Clark ordering bits from the Accessory brochure . Vision Alloys, mud falps, kick plates, boot sill protector and boot liner. Tyre of choice for me is the Goodyear F1’s. Cheapest I could find online was £135 per tyre.. Arnold Clark can do them for £125 per tyre so quite pleased about that.
and asked for an up date. Only told that it takes 16 weeks for a GTI order and that they have had no contact from VW so car should be here mid April.

Is it possible to contact VAG uk to find out what week your car is ear marked for the build week ?
Title: Re: September / October / November Orders

Your dealer 'should' keep you informed when he gets a scheduled week and then closer the time it shoudl become confirmed.

Does the Factory order number have any bearing on when the car is built. I'd be interested to hear what others order numbers are and then see when they ordered them and when they have been confirmed. Mine is 61766? (left the last number off just in case i shouldn't be giving this out) and it's still estimated at week 18.

barter with your dealer.  tell him you can find it cheaper by a mile.  i got quoted 500 notes and found it for 99 quid.  told him i'd be going elsewhere, ended up getting it for free!  sweet!

emailed my dealer this morning for an upadte and was told it was still on Build week 18 (unconfirmed) :sad:
He has just emailed me back 2 hours later and told me someone had cancelled and they have put my car in the cancelled slot and it is getting built this week !!!!  :grin: So i may see it later in the month or Early April.

Really excited now. Hope some of you others have the same luck soon.

Update for you chaps.  Car is in the UK, will be delivered to me back end of next week.  Once I received, checked, double checked, and informed VW of how chronicly shocking they have been :), I will post some photos.

6 months, 9 days from ordering to delivery.  Now that cant be right can it?

Just hope its worth the wait.

Though I don't have my car yet I do have my excellent looking GTI car mats with GTI logo and bright red beading round the edges. Ordered then from Autostyle for sixty pounds. Good thick pile with grip on the underside and holes to fit the golf.

You have done well as I see you ordered your car on Dec the 22d yet there are orders going back to September and October that have not been built yet.
That points to dealers taking orders even though they don't have allotments which is wrong. I went to Ingram VW in Ayr in December but they could not take my order because they had no allotments until March 2010. So I orderd from Arnold Clark which had a new allotment come December the 31st. There are some bad dealers out there.

 I orginally ordered from Ingram in Ayr and then cancelled on 22nd Dec as they couldn't get my order on the VW system before the end of the year. I then ordered via my Fleet Dept who use Stock-on-Trent VW. I was at Build week 18 unconfirmed at the beginning of last week but someone cancelled and my Car got moved into that slot and built last week. So i was lucky that it's not been too long await (although as i said i did order in october orginally !)


have too pay for it now (ouch) :grin:

Fanters  -  mine was BW 8 and it's still at the port in Emden  -  if your car is BW 10 and is already on the ship, there can't be much order at the port  -  I do hope for your sake that your car is on its way over but I'd have some questions if it is... :shocked:

Just thought I'd add that I just spoke to my dealer and my car is still unconfirmed, even though serveral before and after my order date have all gone confirmed. The dealer said they are aware of this sort of thing happening and are pressuring manufacturing... we'll see....... :(

Thanks,

James.

It's great if you deal with a good salesmen , think I can count with one finger a good salesmen I have met in buying cars over the past 30 years. They tell you what you want to hear but in the most part it's not backed up with facts. I keep asking the salesman I am dealing with if he can look up my build date. All I ever get is on course for mid April. To be honest I am not bothering too much as long as I have it for June. However I work abroad doing five weeks away five weeks home and would dearly love to be home to pick up our car from the showroom. Our last two cars have been picked up by my wife while I was away.

Quick update, went to my dealer wednesday to get current car MOT'd at there expense as mine should have been here by now, the dealer checked my order and said it had started being built! check 1 whatever that is??? my build week was next week so it's started early! perhaps they are pulling their fingers out and we might start seeing a few coming through? if the shipping gets sorted :sick:
I'm hoping to get mine on the 17th april all being well............ :lipsrsealed:

PS have you decided when your picking yours up snoopy? i remember reading it's a bit of a ball ache for you to get to the dealer, actually just realised this bits in the wrong place sorry..

Grr...

I've now had a message to say that my provisional build week is 19. I want to understand what's holding mine up SO much compared to others aroudn me in the list. My options are Shadow Blue metallic paint, front and rear parking sensors, RCD510 with Dynaudio, Winter Pack and DAB Radio. I'm thinking that DAB radio is the only thing I've not seen many others spec'ing, who else has ordered it? As far as I know, the DAB radio option is actually a different headunit, ie it's built into the headunit rather than an add on now. So maybe thats it?

Sign up to www.photobucket.com and upload your photos there.  Click on the photo, and down the side will be a box that says 'share this image'.  Click on the one that says 'IMG Code' and it will copy the link.  Put the cursor where you want to post the pic in your thread and hold CTRL and press V on your keyboard to paste the link.  It should look like [I M G] XXXXX [/I M G]

Hi All,

Obviously too much time on my hands waiting for my car, so I made the table below. I've been very cheeky and thrown away some "unimportant" information from the list to try to make it as simple as possible to follow. I've also checked against the appropriate usernames to see if they've posted anything to suggest they have their car but didn't update this thread. I'll happily recieve any further updates and put them into the table. Comments welcomed!

Thanks,

James.

I ordered my carbon grey 3 dr DSG Gti on 7 Dec 2009  -  BW was 8  -  been sitting in the port at Emden for 2 weeks (if still there)  -  was still there Wednesday 17 March. My dealer has been very proactive, though. If I get the car in the next week or so, I'll have nothing to complain about when compared to other members of the forum.
Thnx
James

Thanks, James  -  just heard from dealer that status is 'on ship' and that he hopes to get notification overnight Wednesday that the car has 'landed'  -  if he gets that notification, does that mean delivery next week or can it take a substantial time to get from Tyne Dock to dealership and then prepared for collection?
Thnx

Hello, yes, really enjoying the new motor. Not driven it as much as i would've liked due to work commitments but it's ticking all the boxes so far. I am still glad i went for it in white, although it IS a nightmare to keep clean and it's getting a fair amount of attention on the road. Dynaudio is worth the money for something OEM and sounds good. Only thing i dont like is that fact that the xenon bulbs are on as the DRL's. Tried turning them off but it doesn't seem to work for xenons.

Hope your car isn;t far away now  :smiley:

You will definitely be happy with the dynaudio option.

Post by: James Gould on 22 March 2010, 13:23
the implication being, Davie, that OEM music options are not usually as good as the equipment one can buy from specialist retailers  -  correct? The feedback on the Dynaudio has been very encouraging.
Enjoy.

I think you can turn them off with vagcom coding.  I'm sure I read that on the Ross-Tech site, but I can double check.  Where about are you Davie?

WOW , received a phone call right out of the blue from the dealer saying my car is built. Pick up date from dealer is 19th of April as he is on holiday for a week before my pick up. Excellent news.

Not sure how to add it to the list without mucking it up so apologies there.

Just off the phone to my dealer again... still no change... I'm most unhappy........

I was told there is a delay on RNS-310s if anyone has ordered one of those, but not me, so its not that, that is holding mine up. I've asked them to find out exactly what part it is that is delaying my car, and they are going to come back to me within about 48 hours with that info so I can see if removing an option might speed things up. But I'm not holding my breath.

I was told however about the 20 week = hire car thing (offered the information rather than asking about it) and it was suggested that process was instigated when 20 weeks is reached.

My spec, again, is >

GTi 5dr DSGOne of those delivered in my order month and two unconfirmed earlier than mine
Shadow BlueI'd consider a colour change?
Winter PackA pretty regularly taken option I'm lead to believe
Parking SensorsAgain, quite regular
RCD510 with DynaudioLess regular, but no indications this might be a hold up?
DAB RadioStarting to tend on the rarer side, could it be this?

Any ideas? Has anyone with a long delay tried arguing for some freebies and had any luck?

James.

Hi James

My spec is very similar to yours minus parking sensors plus lux pack and the colour is different!

I managed to get the 'servicing pack' credited on my invoice...

Picking my car on Saturday some 21 weeks after ordering (appreciate some have had it far worse than me!)...

Hi B3n,

Glad to see you got something for free. I'll wait to hear what bit is holding my car up and then start to push for something. But its a bit more difficult for me, since its a company/leasehire car, so I don't want to get a free servicing pack and save someone else some money! My thoughts in my head at the moment are along the lines of "so if the car takes 22 weeks, and I get a hirecar provided by VW for 2 weeks, thats worth about x quid, i wonder if thats enough to get me some free 18" alloys?"... I don't think its going to work!

And for the rest of you.....

If it was because of faulty steering wheels why is it not stopping the production of other cars. Can't believe what salesmen get away with.
For sure it's dealer allotments. If you bought your car from a small independent dealer the chances are your going to wait. Only write that because I went along to one but could not take my order as he had no allotments for three month.
So went along to a dealership with many VW garages through out the uk and my order is on delivery for 19th April at the garage for pick up.

Post by: Jimbo23 on 26 March 2010, 14:48
Hi Captain,

I don't think the steering wheels were faulty, just a shortage. I've heard this from a LOT of places, so I'm inclined to believe it. Plus, it's only the multifunction steering wheel that was in short supply and since that's a standard part on the GTi, all GTi's were held up. I'm not sure if its the same wheel with just a different badge in the GTD though....

As for allocations, my car is coming from Ridgeway, I thought they were reasonably large, maybe I'm wrong?

Thanks,

James.

Congrats Ben!

Did you get the mats free because of the damage to the wheel, or did they just throw them in?
Title: Re: September / October / November Orders
Post by: B3n on 27 March 2010, 21:10

They threw them in (before I'd even spotted the wheel)!

IMO they look better than the 'standard' mats & really complement the interior.

Will try & post some pics tom!

Wahooooo!!!!
Dealer called Sat afternoon and advised that the car will be ready for collection either late next week but can't tell me when until the car comes in.
On Monday will see if I can take a day off to pick up the car, however I've got a quick question regarding tax and insurance.....
Like the other new cars I've had in the past they need insurance docs for the dealer to tax the car so therefore need the insurance doc in advance.
Why do they need to do that - can't they use their own insurance to tax the car?

Great news!

I'm not sure but whatever happens ensure it gets taxed before 1 April otherwise you'll be paying £250 rather than £175!

I took the complementary 7 day VW insurance so they could get it taxed etc... Did they offer it to you?

When they tax it they will have to put it in there name.

Free 7day insurance is the hassle free way i had to do mine. They send your free insurance certificate to your dealer so you don't have to.
Ask your dealer for there Retailer number its a 3 digit number.

I think you can turn them off with vagcom coding.  I'm sure I read that on the Ross-Tech site, but I can double check.  Where about are you Davie?

Hi james, i totally agree and have always looked at aftermarket rather than factory fitted. The way i look at it, if you were to fit everything yourself, you could probably get a better system for the mone. However if you were getting an audio shop to fit it, then i doubt you could match the quality for the money, IMO Hope you enjoy it

You won't have to worry Dave as Dynaudio are a serious speaker maker from Denmark. You can only buy Dynaudio speakers from specialist Hi Fi dealers selling equipment like Linn , Niam ,ARCAM and the like. Will be far superior to boss that's for sure.

Hi Captain:
You are a man after my own heart.
I mostly play Vinyl through my Pink Triangle, SME Series V, Meridian, Proac System. All heavily modified with silver wiring! Even my CD player has been heavily modified and really sounds high end and quite superb.
I really regret that I did not order a Dynaudio System The standard one is OK but not good enough to listen to my Mahler, Brahms, Wagner, Bruckner etc, etc. Stupid penny pinching is to blame.
Unfortunately, I will have to sort this out at some later stage.

Managed to tweek the bass, mid and treble of the car's sound system. Sounds much better now on classical music. But I will have to upgarade once I have the RNS 510 + Bluetooth fitted.

Got the bonnet re-aligned today at the the bodyshop. Took them 40 minutes and the job is perfect. However, as is usual, there was some muck all around the bumper and the VW logo obtained a few surface scratches. These I removed with Halfords Glass polish.

My VW dealer is really very helpful and the Warranty Manager (female) is quite a looker and extremely knowledgable. The Service Advisor is also quite wonderful.
I think I am going to enjoy the car even more.

The car now has a faultless finish, no rattles and a wonderful engine.

BTW, BG Products probably make the best fuel additives!

Love the 'comfort' setting on the ACC.
The roads might look very awful but feel remarkably smooth!

Glad to hear you got your bonnet sorted out. VW quality control seems questionable if some of these threads are anything to go by , though most seem to do with the aliment of the bonnet. Thankfully these sort of problems can be fixed at the dealers
I'm a believer in fuel addictive having been using one on my diesel for a good few years. Stopped the smoking when accelerating hard so will be using one with the GTI. a cleaner engine is a more efficient engine. How long before your engine can be opened up and the fun factor put into your driving. I can't wait to be driving a petrol engine again , especially an engine such as the GTI one. Had a shot of my sister-in-law's Mini Copper S, the figures for that car are not far short of the GTI. It put a big grin on my face until I stopped at some shops and got some strange looks from passer bye's as I got out the mini. I'm 6'3 so it must have looked a bit odd I suppose. :laugh:

Hi Captain.

That must have been a squeeze in a mini!

I spoke too soon regarding the bonnet. It is not quite perfect as it is now slightly proud of the wing on the driver's side (offside). Previously it was the other way around. I phoned the bodyshop, and they were very apologetic. It is owned by a very nice lady! I knew deep inside that it was an impossibility to get a perfect job from a bodyshop first time! 

I will go back tomorrow morning for the very slight adjustment. What a pain.

I will open her up after after 1000 miles. Car has already done approximately 300 miles (250 delivery miles!). So far, keeping the revs below 3000 rpm. The engine is wonderful and gets faster and smoother by the day and is very refined. Love it. You are going to have the time of your life with your car.

Check your car very carefully when you collect, especially the bonnet alignment. Seen quite a few at the dealership where this is not quite right.

 :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Just picked up my car - Wahooo!!!
Only issue was the address was wrong on the thing from the dealer to the DVLA for the log book. Main worry was if we were covered to drive the car home and then going forward for my wife to drive to work etc week days as she's going to be it's main user. Dealer sorted it by putting us on their insurance to get the car home and until we check with our own insurance. Was also worried about the address and the people who would unexpectedly get a log book for our new car. Dealer actually called around to their house to advise what had gone on but was also going to call the DVLA to sort it out hopefully before it's printed and sent off - so all boxed off.

I just sent the DVLA a letter and it was sorted within a few days all changed back to me.

Got a call from the lease company who now seem to be becoming more helpful! Mentioned again the free hire car after 20 weeks, but if I didn't want that, I could have £200. Not sure if this was actual cash, or vouchures to spend in the dealers. But I asked if I could have £200 off the 18's, and see if the remainder could come from what was left on my lease budget...... Let's see how that goes. BW is still 19 though :(

How about we all put down our delivery dates? As historically looking back we woudn't know how long the order to delivery time is otherwise (unless dig back through individuals posts. Would be useful for guys & girls wanting to work out delivery times etc.

Called up insurance etc re the wrong address - all covered by them ok not a problem as it's only a portion of the address that's wrong - Dealer has contacted DVLA and sorted it - Cool!

Wife got a call from the dealer with a quotation for Insurance 450 pounds including use of curtsey car when needed.
Five minutes later the salesman called to say the car is in the UK and will delivered to dealer next week :grin:. Will arrange to pick up the car Tuesday the 20th of April when I will be home.
The good lady is picking up the Vision Alloys from the dealer to take home and put a few coats of sealant on them, bless her. Yes It's all coming together now :smiley:

Has anyone in Scotland / North England had an update telling them whether their car has actually shipped yet? 
I spoke to my dealer yesterday who said I was still 'awaiting shipment' - but it wouldn't be updated as it was a bank holiday weekend.  It seems odd that there is no way of them knowing when its going to ship.

Dealer phoned the wife today, Arnold Clark Greenock asking what tiers I want on the Visions as they can't get the tiers I wanted. Goodyear F's. Wife phones around a few tyer dealers and it seems to be the case.
Anyway my car is arriving at the dealer tomorrow. :laugh:

Are you in Scotland / Northern England too?  It seems the other boats are shipping frequently - just the one into Tyne port thats not going.  It was 3 weeks ago tomorrow (Wed 7th) that my cars status changed from confirmed build to awaiting shipment.  For some bizarre reason I believed the dealer when he said it might be earlier than expected.  Instead its not moved for 3 weeks and is going to be later than expected!

If its been sitting at the docks for 15 days iirc you can get the dealer to request a priority status on your car and that makes sure its on the next boat.

Hmmmm - these 'delays' maybe back up what VAG told me a month ago.

They said something along the lines of add 6 weeks from a build week before you get your hands on the car.

Clearly, something has changed / is changing as this wasn't the case last year / earlier this year ??

unfortunatly in the gloucestershire so not really the north.  I would expect the bristol port to be the one if thats where they come in to.

I don't have any reference from my dealer. Can i call VW CS and ask them what the status is of my order?

Thanks guys.

Yes - you should be able to easily.

They can cross-ref the dealer/model/spec/date etc with the commission # so shouldn't be a problemo.

All the best.

The actual shipping only takes 6 hours (according to my dealer!).  I just need to get a slot on an Emden -> Tyne boat.
The CS chap I spoke to said I should have the car within 2 weeks.  I heard that 3 weeks ago!!

A small update. My car arrived at the docks in Oslo a week ago but haven't been shipped to the dealers due to a train accident there so my car will be delayed a few days. I also asked the dealer if I could choose one of the plate numbers and I got a really awesome number which I prefer to keep to myself. Can't wait to get the car now specially with that plate number. Wohoo!

Dave

Cars are normally at the dealer before they get registered.  The previous 2 brand new cars I've bought were at the dealers, and I got to go in and choose the reg no out of a (small) selection.  I then got insurance sorted and gave them a copy of the certificate so they could get it taxed.  A few days later it was ready to drive away.

Apparently with the free VW insurance for 7 days, you don't need to worry about giving them a certificate as they can get tax using the free insurance.
Title: Re: September / October / November Orders
Post by: p3asa on 08 April 2010, 20:46
As p3eps stated, they are usually at the dealer when the registration is sorted however as long as the car is in the UK then the dealer can then get them registered. 

I only know this as when I signed for my car finance, my dealer told me my registration number although the car was still at the docks!!

Right, I need help! :)

I got a call from my lease company saying that they have been back and forth with the dealer and basically I can have the 18" Alloys essentially for free (look back at my previous posts in this thread for more info!).... BUT VW said to the lease company that it will push the delivery date back again from the current expected 28th May. The lady from the lease company said that in her experience (and it's her job after all) if VM haven't confirmed to her the build week yet, she doubts I'll get the car on the 28th May anyway. So the decision is, do I stick as I am with a (likely) risk the car will slip a couple more weeks or do I get the 18s and know the car will still by up to four more weeks?

Thoughts? I'm going to call the dealer direct a little later and see if they can offer some more concrete ideas of the timescales. I'm interested to know why upgrading the alloys will push my car back in the queue since it's not started being built yet (and even on their estimates, won't begin for another 4 weeks)?

Help! :)

Thanks,

James.

an update for you ladies and gentlemen
because of an unfortunate death in the family, i had to go abroad
the car had not arrived onshore yet, but was pretty close, but i explained my situation to the dealer and he was understanding in this respect and offered to keep the car until i got back.

i haven't actually asked precise details but i believe my car arrived in the UK sometime the week beginning 22nd March. the dealer has even offered to take my old car part-ex at the last minute, unfortunately the private buyer of the old car who seemed keen on buying the car in September last year seemed a lot less keen to buy it when i gave them a new asking price.

it was arranged through a friend of the family and somehow the buyers had totally got the wrong end of the stick on the price, and recently when i talked to the buyer directly they were "why has the price gone up?" erm no it hasn't gone up you just made up some crazy low price! because they were friends of my family and I wanted to be nice to them i even offered to sell the car less than the part-ex price, and to drive it to their house. yes i know you might be thinking i'm mad, and i probably am, but apparently even that is too much for them. anyway i've not heard from them so i guess i'm part-exing it now.

although i'll not be very pleased to see a big wad of my hard earned notes get eaten, nor will i be happy to see my trusty old car go as part-ex (it was a reliable little motor, i would have probably kept it for many more years had it not been the decision to get the new one), i'm super-looking forward to getting the new car. i've arranged to pick it up next week with the dealer.

it's been a bit of a surreal journey, with all the waiting and all that, and the other things going on in my life, but i hope i'll get to enjoy the new car as much as fellow members of this forum. as is the custom on this forum i will try and take some photos when i get the new car.

Dear DDRFan,
Sorry about your loss and the problems of buying and selling a car.
It will all be a distant memory once you take the keys of your new car.
Keep us posted.
My best wishes and enjoy.

Mine is 'apparently' on its way to the dealers.  I should get an update with times tomorrow.
I'm in a good position that I have a courtesy car which they need back ASAP - so mine will be first PDI'd off the transporter!!
I'm hoping it'll be ready for a weekend collection  :undecided:

24 days from 'awaiting shipment' to 'on ship' in my case  :shocked:

Yup... I'll be going over it with a fine toothed comb before I take it home.
Having said that, if you Google Map 'Emden', change to Sat View and then zoom in, you'll see that there are about 20,000 cars sitting about in car parks - so I doubt there is much chance of any damage other than dirt.  All cars will be coated in a special wax to save them getting wrecked by dirt / bird poop anyway

Chuffed to bits  :smiley:, arranged through contract hire broker who placed a large order of GTIs that I took advantage of. Completely standard which might have sped up delivery

Only downside is that it is being driven 180 miles from dealer to be delivered to my house, just hope it doesn't get too spanked on the way  :undecided:

Just spoke to VW Customer Services regarding my order. As dealer hasn't bothered to return messages or emails!

Car is in production as i thought. But my dealer last month told me to expect the car in May. But VW CS told me that the car wouldn't be at the dealership until after 20 weeks. So end of Aug.

This is what the dealer originally told me when i ordered the car in Feb, but for some reason changed his mind when he got confirmation of the BW.

How long after it going to build should it arrive at the dealership?

Thanks guys.

7-14 days  -  should be max 7 but there can be serious delays at the port. Then it can take another week to get to the dealership.

Oh and did I mention nicked 11th April! So I guess that's another 6 months I'll have to wait.

This has got to be the longest delivery time on the forum so far??

Just to update my last post. VW CS got it wrong, they meant week 20 the car would be here, not 20 weeks from yesterday.

Confirmed car is built and awaiting to be shipped.

Shame i had to find all that out myself, rather than the dealer keeping me updated.

(http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/4581/candy800x600.jpg)
candy white, 5 doors, manual, with monza shadows and luggage pack

Collected it today. Said byebye to my old car and hello to the new one. showroom shine. polished alloys. I forgot how awesome the old-skool style tartan seats look. The smell of a new car. 7 miles on the clock. just w00t. The dealer even gave me a complimentary bottle of champagne. I didn't ask for it, but he said I could just give it to somebody as a gift of something. Very kind of you Sir, thank you. Foolishly whilst driving the car today I forgot I put it in the boot, I didn't tie it down with the luggage net, and now the box has a few 'GTI skidmarks' as a result of it sliding around the boot floor. Whoops.

Not sure how much detail I want to go into on this thread, apologies if this is a bit long. But basically it kicks arse. I love the drive. I remember I test drove it back in September but to drive it properly as *your* car is totally different. I'm trying to keep the revs down, but it glides past 4000rpm so easily. I think getting used a bit more to the heel-toe style pedals will help me get a bit smoother. Drove a bit down the motorway and it cruises fine in 6th at 70mph at 2000rpm or something. One thing the dealer reminded me about was the super-sensitive brakes. I only need to touch the pedal a tiny bit and the car starts coming to a stop. Sometimes I forget and i stamp on the pedal and the whole thing just jerks and I feel like a pleb.

I enjoy driving that car. Scrub that. I *love* driving that car. I'm still getting used to the controls, but given more time with it, I'm sure I will be able to hand it smoothly. I think the suits my lifestyle quite aptly also. I want it to do "everything", and I think it is certainly a car that fulfils the 'all-round' promise it is renowned for.

However one point I do want to make, and I apologise if this may upset members, I'm still very very nervous about having it. I'm very conscious (or perhaps just paranoid) of the attention this gathers. I've read the stories of cars being stolen and I just cannot help wondering whether it might happen to me. I just pray nothing bad happens to me or anybody else as a result of me owning this car.

Maybe in 5-7 years time or something when this becomes the old model and it becomes a bit less desirable I might not spend so much time worrying. I was chatting to my friend via instant messenger about this, and basically he's trying to tell me to enjoy the brand new car. I'm finding it difficult right now to follow his advice but I guess I'll just have to see how it goes for the next few months. It is after all a brand spanking new motor, and I've waited since last year for it. I should be doing f##kinG somersaults and stuff and screaming "OMFG I got a sweet ride mudda f**kkas!!" but I'm not. I hope this phase will pass and my worries are all completely unfounded.

And for those of you who are still waiting for yours, I can say in my case it was worth the wait. If you can last the wait, it will make you very happy when you do eventually sit behind the steering wheel.

And for all of you who say candy white is the best colour, I'm a +1

Afraid not sir. It's just a sh1++y basic model, i only specced the 2 options of the monzas and the luggage pack. i did ask the dealer about it because i was half considering adding it, but the dealer was quite honest and said it probably wasn't worth it. i've read various reviews and members on here describing ACC ranging from the "can't really notice the difference" and "sport is mega stiff, only use it on  trackdays!" As i've never really experienced the difference of the Sport and Comfort modes, perhaps just being oblivous is best. i'm certainly happy with the way it drives now.

Hi DDRFan:
True what you say.
However, as I commute on some of the worst roads in the Central London area (and therefore the UK), I ordered it.
I must say I use it all the time. However, the steering response is a bit slower, so I tend to drive in a more sedate manner! It is turning me into a very responsible driver! :smiley:

Nice DDRFAN Just like mine ! White is the best colour.
Thank you sir. i think white is definitely the fashionable colour, but i reckon it will fall out of fashion at some point. i'm not worried though because i've always liked white cars.

a couple other things i forgot to mention whilst picking up the car, the dealer advised me that they had a) absorbed increased road-tax and b) absorbed the "showroom tax" . i admit i had not really been keeping up with these things, i had heard of these new phantom additions to the price of a new car but i never bothered to ask what additional cost i would pay. overall i've only had to pay the additional 2.5% VAT. i think i've been quite fortunate they haven't just added on charges.

i dunno whether this sounds mad but i've been thinking up of excuses to go out a drive. i went to visit a relative tonight and after i was kicked out, instead of going straight home I think i must have done 100 miles around every road i know, including some that i didn't know that well and were a bit dark as they are sort of B roads out in the sticks... thank goodness for the super brakes! i'm trying to keep it easy on the revs but it is so easy to pick up speed. i was following this car and i was happy to keep following it, but for some reason they decided to pull over to let me pass.... erm, ok, so i drop down a gear and put my footdown and before i know it the headlights are this tiny speck in the mirror. it's just rapidness like i've never experienced before. in fact i could swear the speedo is inaccurate. i feel like i'm just pootling along with a "moderate degree of acceleration" and suddenly it's 50mph and i have to lift.

listening to Stephen Nolan on BBC Radio 5 Live. Mostly talking about the airports being empty because of this Icelandic volcano ash.... i even drove to the airport to see how empty it was. it was pretty late in the evening, i wasn't sure whether it's normally that quiet or not but i seemed to be the only car driving around  :undecided:

One thing I have noticed is going under bridges, AM radio reception is lost momentarily. I never noticed this in my old car. i do love listening to the radio whilst driving. it's a tiny little gripe. i'll probably get used to it and not notice it.

another thing i noticed this evening is that i can see my feet in the dark! obviously it's the illuminated footwell. I never realised it came standard.  kinda cool, but i can't really see if this has any practical use. i suppose if i was giving my hypothetical girlfriend i ride home and i had a leg fetish i could sneak a look.

sorry if you guys already know this (well of course you do, a lot of you own one!) maybe i should start a new thread, i keep talking about the car  :undecided:

i can see how that would make sense if the roads you regularly drive on are rubbish. round where i live there is a section of road that wasn't the best condition, but after all the snow this winter, these massive holes have appeared. i've now memorised exactly where the holes are and try to avoid them, but if traffic is coming the other way there isn't a lot i can do, i just try driving over the bit that has the least depth, and i just hear a 'judder-judder' as the front wheels go over, then the rear ones. though the ride isn't too uncomfortable for me with no ACC. i'm not sure what would happen if i was giving a ride to any elderly relatives  :undecided:

and there isn't anything wrong with being responsible. it will help everybody, responsibility means less accidents, less accidents means less insurance claims. insurance is already madly expensive, less claims will mean lower premiums for all of us.

You didn't try hard enough... my dealer paid the showroom tax, 1 years road tax and paid the extra 2.5% VAT increase  :tongue:
I also got a 'full' tank of fuel... but I think they have a nack of making it look full without filling it.  Normally cars go for about 50 miles before the needle moves - mine moved after about 5 miles!  I think they must know how much it takes to just make the needle sit at the top  :laugh:

i'm quite lame when it comes to driving a hard bargain. i suppose i could have tried a bit harder. i did manage to get my dealer to drop down the price of GAP insurance (which i know is expensive compared with others) after i had a bit of a moan with the wait (this was around Jan i think) and the dealer apparently has given me a tiny bit more on the part-ex than what they would typically give. i could drive a harder bargain, but i get the feeling deep down the dealer could have quite easily not budged on anything and he could keep the car as stock and sell it to some other lucky sucker for full whack. so i just kept quiet mostly...

my dealer also agreed to supply a full tank. a small problem during collection was the car had only quarter tank or something, the dealer said i could drive him to the fuel station with the fuel card and he tank it up, and i've actually took a photo of the fuel pump display of the first visit to the petrol station (don't have it with me right now as it's on the camera at home) it was something like 40 litres. the needle was on full for ages before i noticed it started to go down. i expect if i keep driving like i am doing, i'm going to have to put my own fuel in. i'll probably have to start driving it less cos the fuel will just be mad.

yesterday when i went to see my uncle he saw the car, and i told him it was £20k ish, he says "tut tut tut" hahaha
however another uncle i shown it too seemed really encouraged about it, he liked the quality and the seats and everything, and he liked petrol engines instead of diesel, and he seemed keen to get his own.  he's got kids so he'd be using more for that sort of thing and driving from scotland to england and back. i told him he'd be waiting ages though! varying opinions from different members of my family.

last night whilst on my random non-satnav wondering around i got flashed by a speed camera. it was a 50 zone, and i think the speedo was showing just under - the reason it flashed was some crazy Audi saloon was flying by, but i presume my car will show up in the picture. i pray i don't get hit with a ticket and it's just the crazy Audi!

also i'm not sure whether tyres are standard across all GTIs - mine has Bridgestone Potenzas installed. i understand are very pricy! my wallet will not be looking forward to replacing those  :cry:

(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/8238/fuel800x600.jpg)
and no we didn't stop for a sub

This was the 'dealer's full tank'. I think he did genuinely fill it up to the click (although I wasn't watching him, was busy telling the my mates on the back seats who had come along for the first little ride not to put their friggin feet up - i couldn't believe my mate he had frigging dirty shoes and left footprints on the brand new mats and he had the audacity to say they weren't his! WTF it's a brand new car and you're the first ph00ker to sit on that back seat jeez!)

Today i went to fill it up since it was approaching red, and I figured I wanted the cerimonial 'first tank of fuel' and keep the receipt for prosperity, so i went to the local Shell to fill it up with the best, V-Power

It ate 46.16 litres to the sum of £58.58 (126.9p per litre). Since i just put it on the credit card I was kinda oblivious to the amount, but after sitting down and writing this, it's properly expensive!
Knowing the car goes really well (at least to me) with the lower octane stuff, I think I will stick with that, and maybe not even filling up a whole tank.

Post by: p3eps on 21 April 2010, 07:02
I put in V-Power yesterday at £1.24.9 per litre!
I used the pay by card system, and was holding down the handle on the nozzle... when the machine just started slowing down and stopped.  £60 on the nose, and only about 48 litres.
It seemed my card gave me a 'Maximum Fill of £60' - but I never noticed it say that.  I got in the car, and the needle was just shy of full  :sad:

I noticed my red light come on about 2 miles before I went to the petrol station... and when it came on I had only 20 miles remaining!  The gauge looked like it still had plenty though!

I noticed my red light come on about 2 miles before I went to the petrol station... and when it came on I had only 20 miles remaining!  The gauge looked like it still had plenty though!

p3eps, if its anything like mine it will say it has 20 miles remaining and then within the next few miles it is down to 0 remaining.
I've drove around 20 miles while it says 0 just looking for an open Shell garage!!
So you can still get a good few miles out of the tank. I'm sure there was a thread on here stating they got 30 odd when the tank said 0.

I have already filled mine twice with BP Ultimate 97 Ron. Bloody expensive driving in traffic jams to and from work but still more pleasant than an underground journey!
Getting around 25 mpg at present.

Another Update...

Following the compensatory Monza's, my build date has now shifted again to BW20 and they estimate a mid June delivery. It better not move again.... I'm a bit confused by "StuTheDon"'s confirmed BW20 now though, as I'm told that confirmations only come through 2 weeks before build commences. Comments?

By being on the phone pretty much all afternoon today to VW dealers and stumbling across a compassionate one who felt pity on me when I explained the woes of my delayed R order.

Not all signed and sealed yet. Hopefully by tomorrow it'll all be done and dusted.

Updated list, I've removed SilverChariot as per his cancellation and find! I'm changed (maybe a little premature, but fingers crossed!) ajmoir36 to Delivered. I'm thinking of removing the following people from the list though :-

rossmcn1 - Only ever posted once, no updates, no estimated date etc etc.
redleg - BW9, so REALLY should have the car by now, or at least an update?

Any thoughts?

I ordered my GTD on 19th September 2009. They said 12 weeks delivery so this would be a nice Christmas present. The dealer rang me in late November saying there is a great demand under the scrappage scheme that it will be delayed by another month, bull. I picked it up on 27th January.  :wink:

Well VW are supposed to honour their agreement that if they can't supply the ordered car within 20 weeks they give you a loan car until its built.  :wink:
Title: Re: September / October / November Orders
Post by: Snoopy on 22 May 2010, 21:12
You may find they changed the rules on that one, It went from 20 weeks wait to 20 week late. A hot topic in the august thread a while back. They may have changed back again since the demand for hire cars has dropped. They also used the get out on some that it was only for people partex'ing cars. Basically it was costing them a fortune so they were getting out of it anyway they could.

Got my now and it's lovely!

Only thing I'm not happy about is that my ancient iPod doesn't work in it. I never thought to check before, but it appears it's a known thing. Just trying to convince some friends to do a swap with me and then I'll be sorted!

Could do with finding someone with VCDS or VAGCOM so I can add the MPH to the menu, oh and I NEED the needle sweep too! :)

Good luck to the rest of you that are waiting!

Thanks,

James.

Eventually collected my car last Friday.

Very positive first impressions, even the bottle opener and audio leads were there!

I'll take some piccies at the weekend and post next week.
