Yeah sounds about right unfortunately

Thanks
OMG...
What were the changes my2015 to my2016 ??
They have a 3dr Lapiz dsg with 18" in the show room but it laks the 19"s I prefer and no leather ...
Does the MY16 have a starter button now ?

I ordered an R last week and have been told it will be 6 months. Car is a manual 5 door in Night Blue. Only option is Car-Net.

Look on the bright side, you might get the new changes to a my 2017 car :whistle:
I don't think there were many changes on the R for my 2016.
Composition Media moves from MIB generation 1 to generation 2
4MOTION badge changes from polished to high gloss chrome

Lead times have been getting close to normal recently on the R
Most r's at the moment are coming through in 14-18 weeks ; )

Can you confirm if it is still the Prets causing daft lead times? Seems to have been the common factor previously.

My local dealers were quoting 6 months - I suggest you go to the Orangewheels web site to get a discount price for your config. If you like the price they will refer you directly to an authorised VW dealer - Inchcape in Swindon is one but they use others - who will handle the deal directly, they pay Orangewheels not you - you pay deposit and deal only with the authorised VW dealer.
I am buying through Inchcape and they sell so many Golfs they have a series of orders already placed which on they can modify the spec on as long as they have not yet been built.
I ordered a fully loaded 5 door DSG on the 5th of September and have been given a firm delivery date mid December - and they have agreed registration in January to make it a 2016 reg.
May not be the closest dealer to you but the discount saving and early delivery is worth the compromise and service and warranty is valid at any VW dealer so no issue there.

It'll need registering in march to be a 2016 Reg not January. It'll be 65 plate in January still.

No it will be a 2016 Reg as he said (but on a 65 plate)

Unless he's in Northern Ireland.
If it is mainland Britain, having it on a 65 plate but being Jan 16 registered will not affect it's residual value appreciably vs a Sept 15 car on a 65 plate. To the buying public 3 years down the line it will look as old as a Sept 15 car. If I was due a car at the end of Jan, i'd make them wait to March 1st to register it, a 16 plate will be worth a fair bit more than a Jan 16 registered 65 plate car.

If you're not too bothered about Colour & Spec you can pretty much get an R for immediate delivery. I was originally quoted 6-9 month lead time by my local dealer so I opted to go down the "Carwow" route.
Within an hour I had found a 5 door Lapiz Blue Manual (with Disc Nav & Car Net) with a 10% discount and a September delivery.
Just yesterday I was sent some new offers
Manchester VW currently have for immediate delivery (9.6% discount)
3dr TR DSG
5dr LB Manual
London City VW (9.3% discount)
5dr TR DSG (Rear cam, DCC, Leather, Winter Pack, keyless)
5dr BP DSG (Rear cam, Sunroof, Leather, Disc Nav, Keyless)
Be quick though as the offers go quick
