Title: Shipping Dates?
Post by: The Kebab on 01 November 2007, 15:06

Hi Guys,

First post on the Forum but been checking out the mine of information for the last few weeks. 

I have ordered an white GTi which has now been built but is awaiting shipping. Anyone happen to know how long this takes?

Got to drive to Wales in a few weeks and wondering if it likely i'm be taking the Gti or the crappy 95k Diesel Focus i currently have.... :sad:

Company car and i think it is a import as i won't be collecting from a VW Dealer - anything i should be wary of before accepting delivery?

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Shipping can be around 10 days to 2 weeks from a dealer. If its an import check that you get english manuals and that its recorded with VW UK for your warranty.

So the post for new car checks or do a search. Enjoy your new car and follow TTs guide to running in.

Hi Tagnu,

Thanks for your advice, i hope its sooner rather than later - those 10 days are going to be the longest of my life!!!  laugh

Printed out TT's list of things to check a few weeks ago with much anticipation.
I can't wait, although British winter is probably not the best time to get a white GTi!

Fingers crossed i'll be doing the 500 mile round trip to Wales in the GTi! Of course I will be going slowly to break the car in gently.  evil

Cheers for you help.
