I want to go over there and get it myself... :evil:
-
I've was told last thursday that mine was on the ship. The dealer then went onto say that it should be here between 1 to 1 1/2 weeks. He said it can take upto 4 days to load the cars on the ferry and then another 4 days to unload. Then there's the transporter which will probably only go when there is enough cars on it. Then the garage will do their cleaning and inspection. I didnt expect the GTI to be coming until mid may so I am rather quite chuffed :laugh:
-
Maybe mine is on the same ship! :smiley:
-
My car was build week 12. (They only take a couple of days to make.) It was at the dealers the following Tuesday. I drove it off the forecourt on the Saturday, but it was available from the Thursday!.  mmmmmmm fresh meat. :tongue:
-
And mine! I was told on Thursday that my R32 had just passed quality control and was heading for shipping - they said it would be 2 weeks to delivery!
soooo I would say 22nd ish :wink:
-
Mine was built week 13 but obviously it is probably being delayed compared to the week 12 builds because they may ship in one go every 2-3 weeks. It should be here by Friday14th April or latest beginning of the week after - so the stealer says :laugh:
-
DOC... you were told on Thursday? I was told on Thursday too ! Was given 10-14 days, although 14 days more likely. Must be on the same shipment batch. Awww... lol :grin:
-
Now I know that the Mk5 GTI is meant to be the best thing since sliced bread but I really really miss my Mk2 16v - it only had 57k on the clock and drove beautifully. I sold it to fund this purchase but can't stop thinking about it - best car I have ever had and I have had 14 cars in my time. I think I will have to get another low-mileage on if I can find one when the bank balance recovers.
-
Once it arrives all will be forgiven :rolleyes:
Our cars must be brothers lol :grin:
The Mk5 GTi is one of the best cars I have ever had - and I've had some cars!
You will love it man - I love mine and wont be pleased when I PX it for my noobie - Me and the missus are trying to work out if we can get rid of the GT TDi and keep the GTi!!!!
The other thing is, even though there more expensive when compared to the competition you dont ever feel short changed! :smiley:

Our cars are will probably be on the same ship. I popped into the dealers today and he said that it takes 10 dys to get from being ready for the ship to the dealer.
-
So they should arrive middle of next week :tongue:

Its a shame VW don't have a scheme similar to the one BMW have where you can go and pick up direct from the factory...
-
Anyone getting the paint protection with the new golf?? I'm still not sure wether to get it or not.
-
I Get the Autoglym lifeshine done for £100!
Its worth every penny!
-
I think paint protection is definetly worth it - cost me £245 but as Doc found out, you can haggle on the price :wink:
-
mine also had build week 13! however my stealer has not got a clue what time or at what stage it is at, all he says is it should be hear by end of April! feel a bit disappointed by the lack of knowledge and communication! hope it is on the same boat as yours :shocked:
-
Well if it is a week 13 build then I would expect it to be coming at the same time as mine... Your Stealer sounds like a W a n k e r :angry: which unfortunately a lot of them are. I have only heard good things about a very few Stealers including my own - Wolsey of Ipswich - which is why I ordered a GTI from them. Otherwise it would have been the import route for me. At the end of the day you are spending £22k+ on a car with them and they don't appear to really care.. not a good sign.

i agree particularly as i bought my wife a beetle there only 3 months ago! last time i will be buying from them! :angry:
-
The stealer should know what stage your car is at cause all he has to do is put your details in the database. He does sound like a t@sser. As soon as my stealer has found out any info on my car he has let me know whats going on.
-
When a car shows as awaiting ship it should be with you within 14 days but there can be exceptions. VW incorrectly changing its status on the screen for example. Alot will depend on how busy your dealer is as well in terms of turning it around when it arrives. They'll be keen to get it out asap anyway because they want your money..... :grin:
VWmd we're not all t0ssers and W@nkers :sad:
-
I'm collecting my car next Wed!
8days to go.................. :smiley:
-
I would imagine mine to be very close to that date aswell
-
He said he would do it for anyone with a new VW in the Merseyside area for £100!
He will travel outside of Merseyside but the price goes up!
eg. Manchester £130, London £250, Midlands £175 just ask and I will get you a quote!
He has all the kit in the back and can wash etc anywhere!
-
ITS HERE!!!!!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Rang up the local stealer today for some parts and thought I might as well talk to my Sales Exec who is dealing with my GTI order and see when it is due to leave Germany and he told me it had arrived this morning! I got up and left work straight away to inspect it - heard too many nightmare stories of damaged cars... It was there parked in the depot in all its glory in the rain. :evil: Haven't got the money to buy it this week :cry: but will have next week :tongue:
-
doc
Its a pity yopur valeter doesnt travel to cumbria, £100 is a good price.
Illyun

Good for you Fella! :wink:

By the way VW Main Dealer... you are one of the few exceptions amongst VW Dealers to actually show some care and thought for your customers... If I knew where your dealership was I would be there for my part-ex later this year. As for other dealers, Wolsey Ipswich have been very good with me and I hear consistently good things about a dealer off the M25 near Essex - may be the one opposite Tescos on the A12 but I am not sure. So main dealers aren't all bad... just most of them :evil:
-
Dealer phoned this morning to say that the GTI will be delivered next tuesday and I will be able able to pick it up on Wed :laugh:. This is gonna be the longest week of my life
-
Excellent :grin: I am collecting mine next Friday. Would love to have been able to take it now but waiting on some money - trying to pay for it in one go... The Stealers did make one last ditch desperate attempt to lure me into taking out finance but I politely declined saying that the car itself was costing enough and I didn't want to give them £5k extra. :grin: Just hope I have it all next week... sweating on it a bit but should be ok :shocked:

it's alright mate, i wasn't offended. Your skin gets very thick doing this job! :smiley:
Glad to hear you have got good service from some dealers. People like people and if you speak to a dealer sensibly, they'll be the same back. We're just doing a job after all :cry: :cry:
VWmd :wink:
-
Yeah... no problem... just that I have heard of countless people being ripped off and treated very shabbily by some dealers. I have had first hand experience of this too, but not with Wolsey who have been superb. :evil:

Hi VWmd i am one of the unlucky ones i think! how long does it take to find out at what stage your car is at. and also how detailed is the information. as my previous post says all my sales man tells me is it should be here by end of April. quite clearly not keeping me as updated as many people have been in this forum. and i can assure you i have been more than courteous to him. Thanks
