Hi guys,
Long time reader, first time poster. I ordered my ED 30 back in November, and my build date is March week 1. Just wondering what sort of times others were getting from build date to on their drive. First new car I've ever bought; have 4-6 weeks in my head, but it is a total guess!
-
4 weeks for me.
-
I wish I knew!!!
I'll post when I get mine, it was built week 6, not here yet :sad:
-
Was quoted 12 weeks for my GTI from initial order but the car arrived early and was on the road in 8. Depends on the dealer allocation , so work on 12 weeks max and hope for the best :wink:

orderd my gti in june last year. got a build date 1st week in sep. it took two weeks and then i got it. also live in carlisle. now waiting for me new house to get built it feels just the same :smiley:
-
Mine was built last week, so I'll let you know in the not too distant future :cool:
-
when was yours ordered hurdy?
I orded mine 10th feb, when do you think I will get it by? It has one my order sheet 30th April. God that seems like a long time!!!!!

Hi Nathan,
Mine was ordered on the 18th Jan, but the dealer had already pencilled in an order for this car and I hijacked it and altered the spec.
Mine is due week 3 in March so I would expect yours would arrive around the second week in April.
-
Thanks for that hurdy. I am sick of waiting already and I have only waited 3 weeks!!!! I look forward to seeing pictures of those peoples cars that are getting picked up today, you lucky people!! :wink:
-
I had a phone call 2 weeks after my delivery date saying it'd be in by the next Monday.... it had arrived by Thursday :smiley: So 2 weeks and 4 days for me
-
There still seems a little confusion. Could the guys that have had theirs delivered tell us:
1) The Build Week of the car
2) When the Car arrived at the dealer
3) How long from arrival at Dealer to pick up (obviously ignoring the fact of waiting for March for 07 plate)
Seems to me that those built Week 4 or before are all now at the dealers.
Mine was built Week 6 (Feb 5th - 11th) and arrived at the port Week 7 (Wednesday 14th Feb)
It was still there on the 21st!!
I phoned the dealer this week on Tuesday and he gave me a reg plate, saying the car was in the country but NOT at the dealership yet.
I will post when it arrives and again when I pick it up.
-
Thick question sorry in advance. when you say build week 4 for example does the 4 mean the 4th week in 2007? and say the 6th week into 2007?
Thanks

I ordered mine on Jan 12th.
Mine was built week 7 (feb 12th), and was expected around now.
Dealer called me two weeks ago and said it is in Germany awaiting shipping.
I called him yesterday and it is still awaiting shippnig, so could be another couple of weeks. :sad:
-
Mine also build week 7, was told it would arrive first week of March, but has also now been put back a couple of weeks as still awaiting shipping.
-
mmm, sense a theme here.... how hard is it to ship!!! I guess there maybe a few cars waiting, anyone would think there was a new prefix on the number plates :wink:
-
I was informed by the dealer that awaiting ship means that it is on the ship, but the ship has to fill up with cars first before setting sail. :sad:
I would expect that if this is the case (and not just a sorry excuse from the dealer) then if yours was the first on, it could have quite a wait and even cars with different build weeks may be on the same ship :sad:
-
that makes me feel really good! :angry:
-
I ordered mine in early November and the build week is the 1st week in March. All these January order people can't complain just yet :grin:
-
Mine's at the Dealer Today!! :grin:
So built Week 6
Arrived at the Dealer end of Week 9
So you can say 4 Weeks from Build Date to Deliver date
I've been told it will be PDI's and ready to pick up Tuesday!! How long is this weekend going to last!!!
Hope this helps the others who are still waiting.

SHE'S HERE BOYS :wink: :cool: :grin: :laugh: :rolleyes: :tongue: :drool: soory for all the aforementioned but thats how I feel. I am just going out now for a little tootle round the block ha ha. I ordered mine on 2/11/2006 and had a build week of 4 (2007 ) it was at the dealer by 2nd /3rd week in Feb, so 7/ 8 week 2007. So just a short wait for the 07 plate I dont think you people will have too long to wait now, but its worth it, anyway cant stop there's a red girl on the drive waiting to be taken out :drool:

Update - mine is now on the boat and will be at dealer by end of the week. :laugh:
So looks like that 4 weeks build -> delivery is about right.

Hi Goap,
Ordered mine Jan 13th, was same build week as yours, so hopefully mine is on the ship with yours, (although i have'nt heard that from my dealer yet). I am off to Dublin to work for 10 days on the 12th March, so am not going to be able to collect until i get back ( so frustrating ) and when i get back only home a week before i go to Mexico for two weeks, will i ever get to play!! :cry:

One more update - dealer will have it on Monday 12th. After they have done all the pre inspection stuff and Supraguard etc. it will be ready for pick up on 13th.
This is going to be a very long weekend....
(Is there any chance that the dealer will get it earlier and use it for a couple of demos and not tell me? Does that happen? I don't want it to be used at all!)
