Hi,
I was wondering how long you guys had to wait for your car to arrive once you had placed the order?
I put my order in on the 11th of Dec and the latest from the dealer is that it will be here mid April :cry:. I am going mad waiting for my new car (not helped by having to drive down some great b roads on my daily commute).
Cheers

From ordering day to driving it off the forecourt:
10 weeks and 2 days.
Not that I was counting or anything.. :grin:
The wait is an absolute killer but you just gotta put up with it. It's worth it.

I can't remember exactly :undecided:
I must have some kind of mental block from the trauma of waiting :laugh:
It was about 12 weeks. :smiley:

Hey Grab...i put my order in for the R32 around the same time aswell but turns out in december the VW Factory is closed (not sure if this is 100% true) so the orders wouldnt have gone thru untill jan...i am expecting Mid March/Begining April...have you got a build date for your car yet?
-
17 and a bit weeks for me.
I was originally told 12 and it grew and grew and grew!!

Nothing yet - what about you?

I ordered mid-Jan, I got a call last week telling me my car is due to be built mid-March and expected to my dealer early/mid April

Ordered late May 2005 and delivered early August 2005. I tried to collect from Wolfsburg but the bureacracy and paperwork was beyond ridiculous!
Yes!! A RHD Throbbin' Red one! :smiley:..............

Ordered mid October 07, ready mid January... pretty much what they suggested - 10-12 weeks at the time, but I'd guess that fewer people buy a car in mid winter, so perhaps the waiting list will grow again.

ordered 26/07/2007
build date 15/10/2007
picked up 30/10/2007
so 3 months ~ 12 weeks , although I was expecting 14-16 tbh but it came early :-)
-
I oredered mine on the 1st December and it came on the 14th January , it was around 6 weeks roughly, I was lucky I suppose looking at all the other posts in this thread :smiley:
-
We had a nine month waiting list...
But got our GTI earlier. So 6 months wait for us :shocked:
-
Ordered 21 November 07, latest delivery *estimate* is for 7 March 08. 107 days - not that I am counting or anything!!
Was originally told 30 Jan ...
-
Ordered late December, confirmed delivery date of 1st March. Dealer said it's the quickest build date he's had... I'm assuming someone changed their order, releasing a car that already had a build date or something. Cars built and in transit. Dealer expects it in a week or two, but naturally I'm waiting for the new plates.
-
16 weeks and 5 days!
It was 16 weeks from order day til "the phone call" day to say it was on its way over, picked it up by the end of that week.
Calling it a painful wait would be an understatement!
