Ordered my Golf GTI in late March and was exspecting it soon but received a letter off MotorProvider yesterday saying......
We are writing to you to update you on the current position with VW. It has been alleged that VW are making life very difficult for all European countries exporting RHD cars. Under new regulations this is not legal and much pressure has been put to bear on VW.
It would appear that this position has been resolved (after threats of legal action) and VW are working overtime to process all outstanding orders.
I'm due to get my car in early September now allowing me to reg it on a 57 plate unfortunatly I've already bought an 07 personalised plate which obviously I'll now have to change.
I think Motorprovider are just as much a victim in this as I am but it doesn't make the 23 week wait any easier !! :cry:
Does anybody know anymore on this subject ?
-
what ba$tards!
by the the way, I take it you know you can put an 07 plate on a 57 plate car, but then you probably want a 57 plate!
-
Hmm...looking at the last post, I wonder if this is available...although I doubt it :grin:

LOL :laugh:
Its a shame my car is an 07 otherwise I'd be after that one!!
23 weeks...
My 14 weeks seemed like an eternity. 23 must be hell. I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end though
-
Seacap - in the same boat - only worse. My wait will be over 30 weeks.
The guys on the forum said it was risky, but the saving is significant so I hope it all works out.
PM me if you get any news.

:sad: :undecided:
VW dealer in my town (Split, Croatia) promise me 8 to max. 12 weeks waiting for full options GTI, but when I read posts like this I'm undecided, take GTI from dealer car park without some options, or order it and pray. :undecided:
hope you get your GTi as soon as posible.. :smiley:

Why don't you cancel and re-order somewhere else? Or is it a spec thing?

Hiya
Got the same letter last week. Ordered mine in late February, was told I had a PDI in late June.
Have done a search of all my local dealers and ones I can easily get to, the most I have offered off was £500 quid! Also looked at second hand ex demo and can't find anything suitable.
Have decided to wait and keep my fingers crossed, also tweaked the spec slightly. To be honest don't mind waiting but get pissed off with the lack of updates, more updates would manage the expectation better!
They are quoting over 100 orders outstanding, did they mention a 'komn' number as well they quoted me as build week 30 which is late July.
:-(

That's four of us then in Motorproviders list -
SEACAP, ccaasjf, john007 and me (acwats)
Guys, use the PM if you get any news. I did point out that their future sales depend on our feedback on sites like this.
-
add me to that list, but we ordered at the end of may and from what ive been reading we will be lucky to see it this side of christmas. :rolleyes:
-
ccaasjf you said you had tweaked the spec slightly I spoke to Motorprovider this week asking if I could add the ipod prep to my spec and they said if i did VW would put my order back to the bottom of the list (meaning 18 week wait) hence i chose not to add it. Did you change your spec after you received the letter and did they say anything about that changing the delivery date ?
They also said in the letter that mine was a week 30 build and they had a Komn number even though mine was ordered in late March and your saying you ordered yours in early February.
-
SEACAP - I ordered mine 1 Feb and have been told build week 30. I spoke to one of the owners who tells me all their stock has been given the same build week. They order through a dealer in Holland (I've got the name if you want it) , and it looks like whatever pressure was put on VW has forced them in to scheduling all orders to clear the backlog.
I'm going to ring VW Holland who I'm told will be able to confirm build details etc if you quote the KOMN number. I haven't tried it yet but will next week.
-
Nice one acwats - Yes please if I can get the VW Holland number from you that would be very much appriciated. What I think I'll do if you don't mind is wait until you've phoned, see how you get on and then I'll give them a call. If you could update us that would be great.
PS - you mentioned about PM, I take it that's 'Personal message' how's that done ? :huh:

When I ordered my GTI through a VW dealer, I had a cut off point to confirm the spec - delivery was 12 weeks after this date (the car was actually delivered sooner). Any changes after that date would put the car back several weeks/months. Seems a tad severe given todays modern technology and communications - why can't customers order direct from the factory ? :nerd:

Got confirmation yesterday as follows:
'I have added sunroof to your order and will not delay it'
Hope this helps.

Yes it's private message - click on "acwats" then find "send this member a personal message". If you look at the top of the menu page under the welcome SEACAP bit you will see a link to messages

I know the wait is frustrating but least we all should end up with 08 spec.

Question on the sunroof:
Did you order than from the Fatory and when you got it added to your order was that compliments of VW (if it is then very impressed)?
