The tracker has just updated to 'in transit', saying that this particular model (GTi) takes an average of 3 weeks to reach the dealer.
Does anyone know how accurate that is? Is there any way I can track it further? How long from it arriving at the dealer is it before I can collect it?
Thanks!

According to the shipping app, 2 ships left tonight for grimbsy and 1 for sheerness, believe it takes 2 ish week from port arrival to collection. My GTD should be on one of these also :laugh:
-
Which shipping app is that?

It know it slightly sad tracking ships but getting a new car a I feel warrants it :huh:, city of Paris and city of Sunderland are to grimbsy and Danube highway to sheerness all from Emden.

Got mine 2 weeks ago. From landing on a Friday night to being at the dealers took a week then it took a further week for it to be ready.
My dealership didnt have anyone to process the car once it arrived to them on a friday as they dont work weekends, they need to clear the finance with VW and can only do that with the chassis number etc This wasnt done unit the following monday. Ready yo collect Friday.
Apparently they will wait until a transporter for your dealership/area is full before sending the transporter.

It took 3 weeks for my car to leave the factory and arrive at the dealership. It arrived at the dealership on the Friday, PDI'd on Monday and I picked it up Tuesday :smiley:

The dealer for my GTD is in Grimsby (Marshall), build week is next week, so shouldn't be much of a wait when it docks, as the compound is more or less over the road from the dealership :laugh:

Does that mean that an R will get there quicker and something like what I was driving the other day(S and slow as feck) will that about a year? :whistle:

I think as opposed to a VW car model that is built in South Africa or Mexico... the Golf comes from Germany.

My car arrived at sherness on the 31st and I've been told it'll take roughly 7 to 10 days to arrive at the swindon dealership and that I should hopefully have it delivered in the middle of next week.
Has anyone taken delivery as opposed to collecting themselves? I'm guessing they put it on a flat bed as I'll be annoyed if someone else has driven it from Swindon to my house.

I would check with your dealer. It's more than likely that they would get someone to drive it to you. You may have to specifically request a flatbed and will probably cost you.

I was at the Swindon dealership this morning, what Model and colour is it, would think it is there already.
Unless you get a train down to Swindon and drive it back, a driver has to deliver it. Or you can arrange a flatbed at up to £300 if you're talking Glasgow
There was a nice White 5dr GTI in showroom, manual pan roof, tartan, upgrade wheels etc.
I suppose I could deliver it for you :evil: and you bring me back :grin:

It's a DPB 3 door GTD. Spoke to the dealer and he's currently chasing it up as it doesn't seemed to have arrived yet.
I'd ideally like to get the train out and pick it up but as they're closed at weekends, I'm stuck for options. It's a company car too so I'm hoping lex sort out a flat bed as my current car will need collected. It will take the shine off getting a new car if it's been driven an hour or so and gets dirty before I even see it. Especially if it's black :sad:
-
LOL Lex won't baby you like that.
You'll have someone who has thrashed the nuts off of it all the way from the pickup point to the delivery.
-
Dealer confirmed it would be driven to me. Think I might have to skive off work early and get the train out when it's ready. I'm probably being a bit precious but Fred is 100% correct and I know I'd do the same thing if it was me delivering it.

I'm definitely paying extra for a transporter whenever mine arrives

Where are you coming from to collect it?
-
Reading, so not far. Worth sacking off work early and getting the train.

Haha agreed! My C Class arrived with 550 miles on, supplying dealer was Exeter and I'm in Sheffield... Not sure which way he went...!

If only I knew, I'm like a coiled spring. Was supposed to be with the dealer tomorrow but I've been told itll not be with them until early next week, then it's a matter of waiting for lex and the dealership to sort it out.

Do you not have someone that will drop you over to the dealer? I'm going to Aylesbury next Saturday and I could collect you and drop you over to the dealer to collect on my way back home to Solihull.

Reading FFS! What's the problem, barely 50 mins. Take a days holiday if so concerned. I had my R delivered my a mature driver from 50 miles away, no problem. And I paid Cash for it! They do not trash these cars I guarantee you.
-
Thanks for the offer mate. Mrs is away and the majority of my mates are London based and carless. I'll hopefully be picking it up midweek as they're closed weekends. If I can get away from work I'll head out and if not, just take the delivery, I'm sure I'll not care either way as soon as i get my hands on it.
