Hi guys
How long did you have to wait for your mk7 GTI/GTD to arrive at the dealership? Are you still waiting for delivery?
I've ordered my GTD with a couple of extras. I've been quoted a delivery of around 5 months :-( I was told the demand for the GTI/GTD is really high hence the waiting time. What are the chances of the car arriving early????
Here's to hoping ha!

Hey there, I ordered a GTD on 16th October and my build week starts next week (BW7). Fairly long wait but I was waiting for my current lease to end anyway so didn't matter.
-
Ordered mine on 15th October and have just been given my build week of 12 (17th March).
I think delivery times are stupidly ridiculous for a car manufacturer as big as VW!
I could have gone for a 120d M Sport in half the time! But then again...it worked out a lot more expensive!
-
Also, why is there such a variation between people in terms of wait times? Do people getting it direct from dealers get their cars quicker?
-
I ordered 16th Nov. Car arrived at dealer this week. I was quoted 21 weeks lead time. I wouldn't think you will have to wait too long
-
My high spec GTi took less than 13 weeks to arrive :smiley:
-
12 weeks for me :smiley:
-
11 weeks iirc
-
Thanks for the replies chaps.
Hopefully the dealer is just playing it safe by quoting 5 months (flippin' hope he is anyway!!!)
I agree that a manufacturer as big as VW, and in the wider spectrum VAG shouldn't have build times as long as this. What is strange is that I could've had an A3 184 within about 10 weeks. Same group, admittedly different manufacture so not the best comparison.
As mine is a company car I'm just waiting for the dealer to confirm estimated bw & order no etc. I hope I don't get inferior customer service due to being company buyer and not private?!
-
I waited 25 weeks for mine but that was when the order books opened in march.
-
My order was confirmed today and been told to expect it in mid to late may. Apparently it's 20 weeks for a GTi now!

Hi,
It was a 25 week wait when I ordered on 23 October. I was allocated build week 48 and the my car arrived at the dealer on 23 December. So 9 weeks in total!

I ordered my GTD 28/10/13 and got a confirmed build of week 9, so looking at 19-20 week and was quoted 25 weeks when ordered.
It does appear from reading posts on here, that a lot of the guys ordering GTI's are getting theirs quicker than GTD's.

I ordered mid-November and it was built in BW3. Car is in the UK and in the way to the dealers.

Was there any explanation of why the estimate was so wrong. Nine weeks looks like they intercepted a pre-allocated slot.
-
Volkswagen dealerships get a monthly sheet stating max delivery times, it was 25 weeks just before Xmas but then Volkswagen added more shifts & staff to meet the high demand.

I ordered an R on Thursday,... im told end of may
But I want it now!!!!
Fairly basic, Lapiz blue , ACC , Rear Camera and winter pack.

Mr Dan. If you don't want to wait for your R, drive the deal are advertising a stock car with discount in their 'special offers' section. http://www.drivethedeal.com/specialoffers2012.asp?vans=false (http://www.drivethedeal.com/specialoffers2012.asp?vans=false)
