Dealer has been telling me for months now that I'm B/W 40, never believed it based on feedback from other forum members (and all the delays). Suffice to say, still showing as 'With the factory' rather than 'Build week confirmed' on the tracker.
B/W 40 should be confirmed by now if it was going ahead? Any other forum users for B/W 40 showing as confirmed yet?
-
Not good news I'm afraid.
I'm on BW40 and was confirmed on the tracker Friday. This coming Friday should see BW41 ppl getting confirmed.
-
Thanks - as I suspected.
Time to email the dealer!
Out of interest, when did you order?
-
Beginning of May. Been a bit of a roller coaster ride, I have had BW of 38 and then 51 before it has settled on and confirmed for 40.
What about yourself?
-
Ordered mid April, was originally pencilled in at BW 40 according to VW, last I heard it was looking like week 39 and now still not showing!
In that time my car usage has almost completely changed and I'm already thinking about the next car after the GTI as I'm so bored waiting!!!

I've already started considering what to do next time round too, might hang on to the 7 as a daily and get a Delorean!! Always wanted one since i was a kid, i know they're a rubbish as car in general but that shape and unique finish just makes me want one badly! :)
-
I moved to build week confirmed last Friday. I was estimated BW 40. Now confirmed build 29/09/13. So four weeks prior.
Before you send a rocket up your dealers a$$ keep checking the tracker for a few days this week.
Sometimes they can be between 3-4 weeks to change from estimated to confirmed.
I wish you luck.

I love the Delorean my mate has just been out to the factory, have a read of his magazine page 42 I think in the September issue

Sounds like a mid life crisis on the horizon! Good effort!
The mk7 will make a great daily so something like a Delorean would be ideal as a project if you have room to store it and the patience to keep it running (don't blame me if you end up on anti-depressants!!!) :laugh:

I've just come back off holiday (again!) and checked this morning. Nowt happening yet.
The dealer is Lee on here so no rocket needed as half the reason of choosing Lee is that he's a no nonsense guy and not full of the corporate bull that we hate about some dealers. If it had been my local dealer and the delays had been the same I have no trust in them whatsoever and would have pulled the plug by now as I'd have thought they had cocked things up. Lee is in contact when he hears something and doesn't bother me when he doesn't and the same vice versa which works well for me! I see every day the same things and have seen it all on the mk6 forum and on the Scirocco forums too so it's far from unexpected and I know it's just as frustrating for dealers as it is for customers as it affects their income and they must get fed up to the back teeth hearing the same old moans from customers.
We've got to wait and that's all there is to it. Not happy about it but not much we can do if we want a Golf GTI/D!!!
My mate went to look at an Ed 30 in a dealer about an hour away from me and unfortunately I couldn't come with him due to being away but he had a quick chat to the dealer about mk7 Golf GTI orders and told him about my order and again, he just sympathised and said the same old things as we've heard a million times on here. If they could get them they could sell them all day long but they can't and people turn away to buy other things. It's not so bad I guess for private buyers like me but if you're a business user or tied into a PCP or finance deal then it's a big deal and time plays a big part in it.
The only thing I'm left with is the thoughts that really it should have been a GTD not a GTI for me but that's another problem for another day and nothing crucial, just that my vehicle use has changed quite a bit since last year. Once my GTI was my toy and did about 2000 miles a year, maybe a bit more but not much. Now it's a daily driver and has been racking up the miles. Not much fun at 30mpg and on 235 35 19 tyres!!! :laugh:

Maybe try giving VW CS a call? They seem to have more up to date info than the dealers and you can give them a rocket without having to upset your dealer :smiley:

I don't think VW CS will be able to do much either going from other threads on here.
All is being handled as well as can be under the circumstances of VW in Germany not building the darned thing!
And yes, mine is specced with the rear view camera!!!

Moved to confirmed overnight ! Woohoo! Build Week 41, so a slip of 1 week but I can live with that.
-
My order changed to confirmed BW40 this week - Yeh!!!!! :smiley:
