...sounds ok  -  we're in my BW 10  -  apparently, the car is at 'check point 4', ie the paint shop  -  sounds good... :drool: :drool:

It's build week 9 this week so your car must have been started 1 week early.

I didn't know that sort of thing happened  -  judging by others' experiences, cars are behind schedule, not ahead! Anyway, this checkpoint 4 business....is that a clear indication of a delivery date?

i've no idea what check point 4 is ! Maybe it's something to do with checking the parts are ready for build.

apparently, checkpoint 4 is the paint shop and I've read somewhere that checkpoint 6 is the 'assembly' stage (sounds a bit general)  -  I just wonder if I can derive any timing indications from the 'fact' that my car is now at checkpoint 4  -  probably not....I've read a lot of complaints about cars sitting at the docks in Germany waiting for the journey over here.

Welcome back James! :wink:
My car was originally for BW9. It was built in BW8.
Your car was originally for BW10. It was built in BW9.
My car is now waiting, BW9, in the docks. It will take approximately 2 weeks to get loaded as there is a lack of ships!
Your car will be in the docks next week, BW10, suffering the same fate as mine!
Bottoms up! :smiley:

Ordered mine Christmas eve and was given a build week of 11. Was advised yesterday it's slipped to BW 12 :cry:. Shortage of radios apparently (which I'd already read on this site, plus MF steering wheels and Xenons). Stealer said it should be here w/c 12 April.


(3dr manual, Carbon Grey, Moon Shadows, RCD510 + Dynaudio, Xenons, Storage and Winter packs)

Snoopy, did you buy from Benfield? How have they been?
Title: Re: 10 plate Gti's
Post by: James Gould on 07 March 2010, 15:59
Hartside - you in NCL?
I went to Pullman in Durham - Benfield Silverlink had no Gti's for me to test drive - Mike Simm at Pulman brought a Gti to me in NCL twice for a test drive - he's been great - ordered in Dec and he is saying last week was my BW and delivery expected end March
Title: Re: 10 plate Gti's
Post by: Snoopy on 07 March 2010, 16:10
No i did not buy from them but wish i had, from Benfield or Pulmans. Neither had allocation left when i originally wanted to order so i ordered from another dealer down south. What a joke thats been since though. You live and learn  :grin: just fyi the guy i would have probably delt with would have been John Wade at Pulmans as he seemed to know his onions.

I'm north of Newcastle. Tried Silverlink first, then bought from Scotswood.

Live in London, bought from Inchcape VW in Telford, Shropshire.
How mad is that!
Seems to have worked out quite well so far with a reasonably fast (for VW) delivery (everything crossed!).

I think the fun was sourcing a GTi for price as well as delivery times.
It was quite an interesting experience. I did most of the UK before settling with my stealership!
