Hope you're all well guys!
Finally I have been given my BW of 12!
I ordered GTD 5dr in Night Blue on the 15th October so I am having to wait a long time :(
Anyways, thought I'd pop in and say hello and hope to meet some fellow enthusiasts!
-
It is well worth the wait. The Mk7 is just amazing :grin:
-
Hello - it's agony waiting - but we're either doing it too or have done it ....... :whistle:
-
I really do hope so!
I'm coming from a very different car - Civic Type R :whistle: lol.
But I was getting sick of filling up all the time and having to rev the nuts of it for it to go anywhere. So this should be a bit of a change.
Before that I had a Leon FR 1.9tdi mapped to over 200bhp and 330lb/ft, so I'm used to some torques :evil:

Hi Moshin
I feel your pain. I ordered mine on the 10/10 and it will finally be getting built next week. Slightly sooner than yours but still a very long wait.
-
Wow so not just me that's been waiting for so long!
To be honest, I've not had the best experience - as when I ordered it back in October, I was told the new year, i.e. January I will be given a build week. January came and I was told Feb I will be given a build week. Then only the other day it was officially confirmed in an email my build week is w/c 17th March!! :angry:

Hi Moshin,
I'm in the same boat - ordered 07/10, the VW tracker is still sitting at stage 2 "With the Factory", I have since spoken with the dealer who has informed me that I'm scheduled for build week 12.
Is the tracker up to date for you, mine seems to be lagging a bit? :huh:
Does anyone know how long it takes for delivery after the build week, about a month or so??
-
Hi mate,
I don't even know what my tracking reference is?? I've ordered my car through a leasing company and was never given one...will I have to ask them for it? Or can I not just call up VW and ask them?
-
You should be able to get it through the leasing company, they can request it from VW.
If not you could just contact the dealership directly?
It's a frustrating wait, but I'm sure it will be well worth it come delivery day. :smiley:
-
Biff
I was told that all being well I could expect my car about four weeks after it has been made.

w/c 17th March is BW 8 and not 12 as you originally stated. You might get it quicker than you thought.

I've emailed the leasing company today, so see what they come back with. I really really hope so!!

Is it? I just worked out 17th March as the 12th week of the year...lol is that wrong?

Whoops sorry, I read it as 17th Feb. :rolleyes:

It's funny that the more you want the car the longer it takes,I ordered on the 18.9.2013 &told the dealer I didn't want the car intill 1st March for a 14 plate,then get a phone call on 6 Jan saying my car is ready for pick up.

Lol! Just typical that isn't it!

So true! I ordered in October and said I didn't want it till March 1st. Low and behold it arrives 18th December!
Not long to wait now, though.
btw, welcome to the forum Mo! (where are my manners?)

Wish mine was that quick! I don't understand how a company on such a vast scale can take so long? Frustrating!
And thanks :)

Thanks!
Only metallic paint (Night Blue). Other than that, a completely boggo spec 5dr manual.
I think it has more than enough toys as standard for me to enjoy. That's one of the main things that attracted me to the GTD.
I was looking at the equivalent 120d M sport, Audi A3 S Line 2.0TDI and the Merc A220 cdi AMG and they worked out so much more expensive with the same amount of kit as the GTD!
