Its done orderd on 27th Nov reflex Silver 3 door lux pack, DSG monza'z 18's.
Build week10 if i'm luky. Went in to the dealers today to try and push them a bit but he said maybe end of Jan ??? My question is when does the VAT start from IE when the ordor was put it or when the car is picked up? This waiting time is load B-------?? These GTI's have been out for ages whats the hold up??? :wink:
-
VAT is at Invoice time so when you pay your bill in full. Ie when you pick it up.
Build week 10, then work on getting the car 13th week of the year. So April.
But theres an offer on VW website that if you order in October or November they will cover the VAT rise as long as the cars registered before 28th feb but if the build week you have is week 10 then fat chance of that happening! :rolleyes:
Hold up,
Theres a few things been said why this is, going about.
Theres a shortage of RCD310(standard CD unit in the UK) and RCD510 (optional 6cd one) radios adding around 4 weeks min to the build weeks at the factory.
Theres a rumour that VW UK only booked a certain amount of build slots at the factory at the start of the year and basically its not enough for what they have ordered, they say because of the demand due to scrappage etc.
-
I spoke to my dealer the other day enquiring about an Eos for the wife. He said it'd be April if I ordered now so it isn't just GTis that take ages. He said there was nothing lying around at all so you have to wait ages for everything.
Since VW/Porsche have just announced a profit (despite a recession) of £gazillions there's your answer why you have to wait - they're flogging everything like hot cakes and can't keep up. Simples!!!
-
I ordered week before you and am being told end March/start April - 3-door, DSG, carbon grey, RCD 500 with Dynaudio, parking sensors plus some other small bits and pieces
-
Hi guys
Not sure if you've been reading the August thread but, without wishing to be a bit of a kill joy, I wouldn't be shocked if you have to wait a bit longer than you're expecting. Maybe the delays will sort themselves out but I ordered a 3 door with xenons, 18", leather, dynoaudio and a few other bits back in August and am now being told it won't be built until week 7... :sad:
-
Ditto, ordered Aug-2009, latest is now BW 10-2010
-
^Yep us August orders are all around that time. Mine at the last update was BW06
-
My question is when does the VAT start from IE when the ordor was put it or when the car is picked up?
As said above, VAT is at the time of collection. Most VW dealers have a deal on just now that if you get the car between 1st Jan - 28th Feb 2010 that they will pay the VAT increase.
The problem is that most cars ordered now will not be ready by then!!
I've got a deal with my dealer that if it arrives after 1st March, that they will pay HALF the VAT increase.
Its worth trying to negotiate something - but then if you've already signed and put a deposit down, you've got little chance!
-
Snoopy referre above to limited build slots and the impact of scrappage.
I've confirmed today with VAG that this is indeed fact but there's a real anticipation that all is startin to settle which will have a positive impact on availability from early January.

Hi Guys,
I am a newbee from Holland and ordered my GTI MK6 today I would love to chat about my options etc but is there a December order's 09.
I do not want to spoil a (this) thread in my very first post... :smiley:

Hello mate & well come!! it dos'nt matter just go for it ask away? Edition30 Steve :wink:
-
Okay :wink:
First off all I ordered a Carbon Grey (at the moment I drive a Black Metalic GTI MK V)
I ordered Detroit Alloys (18 inch and a bit more beautiful cause of the inlays) instead of the Denver Standard...I think that it is the same as Monza.
Now my dealer claims that when ordering those alloys the car comes with a different suspension...is that so ?
And my second question if I put say 100 Gig on my Ipod can it fully communicate with the 30 Gig GTI Harddisk....or should I not acceed 30 Gig on my Ipod??
For the record my "extra's" :
RNS510, camera, mediabox, sunroof, leather, DSG, Park Distance, Led Rears, winterpackage, light and sightpackage 1 and 2....actually nearly everything except the xenon...only reason for that.... my wife said enough is enough....somehow I had a feeling I should not take it any further :smug:
Anyway if you have any questions about extra's shoot....
-
Just had a phone call from the dealers to say that I have now got build week 8 , so should be a 2010 plate but then there's the VAT crap on top??? :wink: I am going to wait for it though!! :rolleyes:
-
: I am going to wait for it though!! :rolleyes:
Definatley well worth the wait, hang in there you won't be dissapointed....... :tongue: :wink:
-
Thanks Neil, yes i have to agree with you there my freind, currently driving Ed30 so the wait is not that bad !! Time flys, It took me just 2 test drives to make my mind up?? But i had these doubts weather I was taking a step back? But i just loved the refinment of the mk6 thats what did it for me!! the wait is still difficult though!! Enjoy steve :wink:

-
yes neil, not sure about moding though?? I dont to want lose the warrenty?? I think if i went for a re-map it would be blufin?? revo is just to much going through the FWD ( to harsh) buying new tyres all the time?? I would like to try a re-maped mk6gti though!! :laugh: steve30
-
Everything is ordered and my deliverydate will be the first week of april 2010.
The last couple of days I have read the complete Mk6 topic.....after hours of reading I am in the mood to say the least :cool:
-
Just come back from the dealer's my car has been put back to build week 9 now!! I asked him if he could source me a car GTI but the answer was no ziltch nothing in the system?? now looking at the end of March now ?? Its bloody crazy never known anything like this for a golf GTI !! You can buy an M3 or an aston Martin quicker than a GTI ??? :angry:
-
Sounds about right to me. you ordered a month after me and your build week is a month after mine.
I could have custom speced a 911 and had it quicker.

The gt 1275 was a lovley little motor!! That what you have? :smiley:
-
I am thinking of changing the coulor on my order to white ? My car is build week 9 , but the dealer is saying this will knock back my build week even though its not locked? Can some one advise me this? Thanks Steve :wink:
-
Phone VW customer service. It may delay it. I was told similar when i wanted to add a few options its the dealer covering there arse basically because VW were saying if you cause the delay then they may not pay the VAT rise and the dealer is worried about that. I took the gamble and it paid off. The key words i took from what i was told were you and may
Remember Build week 6 cars have been confirmed this week. Next week its Build week 7 so you will have to be quick.
-
There about as useful as a choclate fire guard VW CS?? I dont find them very helpful TBH!! But yes I will try on Monday thanks Snoopy :wink:
-
Worst case it gets delayed a week or two, VW say tuff you caused the delay and have to pay the extra 2.5% vat and it ends up costing you what around £400 more. Or around the same price as the metallic paint would have.
:wink:
-
If they pull that stroke with me then , i will just leave it at refelex silver?? They do look awasome in white though esp with the Monza's!! :undecided:
-
I just rang VW Customer service's and was told my ordor will be locked as of next week 8/02/2010 into build week 9 ?? Should be confirmed next Monday?? :laugh:
I so bloody hope??? :wink:
-
Steve,
They told you build 09 for certain?
Did you order on the 27th November? I orderded 10th and have been told build week 12 only from dealer though, as that is what was on system this week, as I added Dynaudio to my spec.
I'm wondering if it will move forward then to build week 9 or 10 also, need to know as we are seling our Edition 30. Are you p/x your edition 30 for the mk6 GTI?

-
£13,500 for my ED30 :shocked:
Mines March 07, 3 door manual with Xenons, winter pack and Hiline computer.

The car is amazing absoulty brilliant!! Except for one thing the bloody light's are very poor?? I had power bulbs in my last car, but dont think you can get them yet for this model?? Any support would be good around this. Thanks Steve :wink:
-
Glad you're enjoying new car, you really ought to have specced xenons, cos they're phenomenal. Apparently philips do some good bulbs called x-treme power give 80% more light.
All the best

Yes they do, I have some already off my old car, but they dont do them for the Mk6 yet so i'm led to beleve? I took the power extrem's out of my ED30!! I think its H15 that fit the MK6, and they are H7's I have now. God the car smells lovley nice & new dont you just love that smell of a new car!! I detailed it today with 109 selent & colinite 456 wax the car is blinging!! :cool:

I have read the FAQ on the mk5 site by jkctr(and printed it out) but its the bit with a new car and products (as theres so many im lost!) i need help with. :undecided:
Im guessing with a new car (mine will be shadow blue metallic) will go something like this (please correct if im wrong)
after cleaning it two bucket method / drying etc,
Polish: Autoglym super resin polish
Paint Sealent: Jetseal109 or Autoglym extra gloss protection (2 coats, one left overnight)
Wax: any recomendations that won't break the bank
Alloys: Jetseal 109

The MK6 has H7's
-
Got to say the ACC is a must have option, it just soaks up the speed ramps, esp those sqaure one's in the middle of the road!! Well worth the money IMO!! The RNS510 makes a funny noise when its switched off for some reason very starnge , hope it doesn't drane the battery?? Sounds like a humming nose even when the engine is off and the key out?? Thats gonna drive me insane I know it will. I can feel a visit coming on back to the dealer's??? Apart from that the car is awasome a big improvment IMO very smooth & refined love the vacoover's !!
-
Prob the HDD and/or fan slowing down.

The fan is probably temp controlled and will slow down or stop as the unit cools. If thats what it is making the noise. (you can see the fan in the photos)
-
Mine does it as well for a while after stopping...think it only does it for a few minutes. Likely cooling down. It's been stopped if I go back to the car a bit later.

The car is amazing absoulty brilliant!! Except for one thing the bloody light's are very poor??
[/quote]
I put Philips extreme power in mine and they made veryvlittle difference other than looking marginally whiter than the stock philips long life bulbs. Some owners have raised their headlight beam a touch to help, not touched mine yet.
Fitting HID bulbs in the stock headlight lens results in masses of flare, I've seen 2 mk6 with themfitted and they look awful and blind oncoming traffic even on smooth roads which just proves how bad the reflector design is. There is now a non glare version from hids4u which may be better in this respect. Whilst a mot inspector probably won't care about hid bulbs in a stock headlight the dept for transport has ruled them illegal.
Let us know what changes and improvements you make, enjoy the car

[/quote] I dont want to do any thing illegal to the car, Not sure about HIDS? I have got some phlllips extreem's H7's. I was out last night in the car and TBH the lights are not bad, I suppose. I might try the extreem,s in there? Thanks Mate. :cool:
-
Steve:
I am so glad you are loving your car even though it does not have bright enough lights
I have already told you where to go and get the HID conversion done professionally. It will cost you approximately £145 per set of beams. These people are very professional also deal with FI teams and manufacturers. Speak to David.
Don't waste your time with the Philips x-treme or home installed HID conversion kits. These are all pretty rubbish.
Enjoy some brighter night driving soon.
