Does any one have any idea has to how long I could be waiting for a golf gti if I were to order one this week?
I dont mind the wait because I kind of like the novelty of having to wait for a brand new car being built and me being the first one to drive it.
Any advise would be appreciated
-
Anything from 3 to 6 months.

You could goto a dealer and see if there is anything around the country that comes close to your spec and buy one that way. Or as the prev poster said, wait anything upto 6 months for your own spec/build.

6-9 months.
Probably quicker to make a baby!
Will drive you nuts eventually like the rest of us!
-
Probably an easier question to answer is "How long is a piece of string?" :evil:
But seriously, have a look at the "orders" threads, plenty of info in there matey.
-
Lots of cancelled orders out there. Quite a few will still be able to be tailered to whatever spec you want.
-
6-9 month christ that is long. I would have thought the waiting time may have come down a bit.
Like some of you guys said, I guess i could trawl the country to see if any dealer has anything close to the spec I would like.

Start hunting ASAP.
We all did.
It could be both fun and frustrating.
All the best!

I didn't mind waiting for mine, it was only 3 months and I still like the thought my car was built especially for me, makes it more personal.
I also did the Wolfsburg tour while waiting during production week, don't know if I saw my car being built but it was about the right time.

I ordered mine on 16 December 2009, Build Week (BW) 51. A year has 53 BWs. VW work on BWs. It will be at the dealership this week, BW9.
However, this car was originally ordered by another customer in June 2009.
He got fedup waiting and cancelled the order in early December 2009 which I then took up.
It was a stroke of luck.
My car was originally supposed to be built 2nd week January 2010, BW2.
However, it was delayed to BW9 and then brought forward to BW8. It was shipped in BW9. We are soon to be in BW10 which starts tomorrow 8 March. It will be at the dealership this week, BW10.
BW1 started on 4 January 2010, BW2 on 11 January and so on.
Hope you find this helpful.

I have just read through the August orders and I can't believe that some people are still waiting for their new motor. Its madness :shocked:
I am thinking of the following
18" Monzas
Deep black pearl
Leather
Rcd 510 and
Xenons
But having read thru the post I mentioned above, I am not so sure now :undecided:
-
Tell me what is essential in the spec and I will find the closest matches.

Ok, well the only thing that I am not too worried about is the Xenons. I am being too picky :rolleyes:
Be good to know what you can find
-
def let EVO have a look on the system for you as there may be a similar spec somewhere in the country. IMO xenons are worth every penny.
I was about 16 weeks from order until it arrived, but i held on an extra couple of weeks for the 10 plate.
Go for it !!

Just to let you know mate and as I keep saying I have been waiting for ages....... I ordered my GTI on the 18th of August and I'm still waiting but picking it up on Tuesday morning. It's been like six and a half months so prepair yourself for a wait I'd say even if the dealer says different

Evo would you mind having a look for me too? I'll send you a PM with my prefered spec.
-
Casabian maybe hit the nail on the head.
I'm sure most of us have been taken by what the dealers say, so take whatever the ramble is with a pinch of salt [that is if you're looking at a factory order].
