3 weeks to go untill the end of the 12 week nightmare
Dealer did say it could be up to 16 weeks to potentially 7 weeks to go
:sad:
-
I have already waited 16 weeks for mine, only 3 weeks left to wait.
That is if they do not lengthen it again.
-
where are you purchasing yours from?
-
Mine is coming from Motorprovider in Sheffield.
-
called the dealer this week as the 12 weeks have now came and gone!!!
Apparantly car is being built mid July and will be with me early August which should have the delivery at bang on 16 weeks.
The wait is really killing me now but only 4 weeks to go if all to plan!!
i has a shot of my mates new DSG GTi last week which was amazing and only makes the wait that much longer.
-

I feel your pain my friend! I ordered my R32 on the 1st June and was originally told 8week wait. So as you do I phoned him every week asking if he had a build date yet.. this just seemed to add further weeks on! I am now expecting the second week September.. everyday is a struggle! In addition to which I recently found out that I am not getting the current R32 wheels but the new omanyt 18" as they ship to the US. Nice if them to tell me eh!! Unless some smart ass at the dealership was planning a quick swap with mine before I collect! Stealers!!
p.s. I know this may have been mentioned previously but I was given a copy of the order form sent to Germany and noticed that the price the dealership pays is about 20k.. so so scandalous :embarassed:
-
Ordered my White ed30 4 weeks ago, and still no build week! How long would you say till i'll get the build week?
-
I was told that they have no idea of delivery date until they receive their build date. They can usually work that out quite accurately once build date has been given. Build date is entirely down to the bods at the factory.. I guessing... but once its scheduled your dealership should know. I wanted to add extras but was told this may push it down the pecking list.. so thought stuff it!! only 9wks to go :cry:
-
Mine was ordered on March 3rd, and turned up 14th June - almost 15 weeks later.
The build date was given to me on the 7th of May telling me that it was build week 20 (14th May > )
One you get your build date its likely to be around 4-5 weeks till your car arrived.
Just keep holding on guys... its worth it in the end :grin:
Maybe this'll cheer you up...

Thanks!! That looks sweet.. looked at a Ed30 in detail before I went for the R32... quality quality car! Went for the R32 because it was cheaper than Ed30 (I leased mine). CANT WAIT CANT WAIT!!
-
Still waiting (nor so) patiently
Deadline of 3rd August has now come and gone
Stealer has now promosed it for the 3rd week in August, Im away on my hols then though so I guess I will not be seeing her untill the beginning of September, at least it will be a 57 plater then.
What checks do you guys do when collecting a spanking new car?
-
phoned the stealers 20th of july cause i woz going on my hols
he said the car was built but hasnt left germany yet :cry:
hopefully i`ll get it first of sept :cool:
how long now?
how many miles will it have on the clock can any1 tell me.
-
Ordered standard GTi with xenons, highline on 30 May. Still no build date, but told it's likely to be end September.
Wait even worse, as I bought a 10 year old Astra 1.4 to get me around meantime as last GTi expired and went to someone more capable in Leeds for restoration.
-
Ohhh spanking new V6, make sure you take it easy.
-
I will try... Although I am moving from a Citroen C2 vts 125bhp... I will now have twice the power to play with!! Cant wait.. only another 4 weeks to go!
I would be interested to what checks to carry out when collecting a new Golf... I know this was mentioned previously but cant help that think once I am given the keys, im outta there!
-
On a serious note tho, I think you have limit them V6's to below 3000rpm for x amount of miles, cant remeber how many now.

On a serious note I would like to know what happens if you dont bother sticking to the 3000rpm limit on a new R32. Mine is a lease so Im thinking that I have to give the car back after 2yrs and dont really give much of a hoot as long as the problems that arise are not mine! (sorry!)
Altho I probably will stick to it for the 1st 500miles or so.. anyone have any idea how long I should be driving calmly for??
-
r32uk, what a great fun car the c2 was, i came from having a single coat black c2 vtr with "sensodrive"!! , which loved being keyed!!. hope you enjoy the jump from sh!troen to Vw as much as i did
-
I cant wait.. only 4weeks to go!! The c2 was good fun and a nippy little sh1t... as well as great at annoying other drivers!!
Only problem is I damaged my knee ligaments on thursday and may be out of action for 8 weeks... And as I got the manual version I might not be able to drive it!!! After a 16week wait what a load of b0ll0cks that is!!
Will just have to sit in it and pump the go pedal for a few weeks...
-
yes im managed to annoy drivers in my old c2, even had a car door swung onto it in road rage from a honda accoard type R!!, call me all the names under the sun, pulled up next to me at a junction, swung his door onto mine and gave mine a huge crease dent down the passenger down,tried leaning into my car to grab me, but then realised he was dealing with a 6ft 4 bloke and decided that perhaps that wasnt such a good idea! :wink:. but fond memorys of the car that seemed to be doomed from the day i bought it :angry:
-
oooh yeah I had many meets with Type-R's and all sorts of others.. the problem used to be that although they were faster.. I could nip in and out of traffic so quickly I would eventually loose them, and round corners it was like a kart!
Only 125bhp out of the front 2 wheels and used to spin like mad in the wet.. thats why 200bhp+ throught the front 2 wheels just didnt appeal to me. The minute I put the pedal to the metal in the r32 it went! very little spin if any at all..
JUst got to get the knee better so I can acutually drive the damn things when it get here!
