What I’m amazed at is you’re all getting build dates immediately after ordering. I ordered my CS on 5th December and still have no build date! I spoke to the dealer only yesterday and I couldn’t get them to understand my confusion on this. They just thought I was moaning and wanting the car earlier than the initial April date!

But are they actual confirmed build dates? VW didn't used to confirm a car’s build date until around a month before it was scheduled for production.

Mine is only telling me lies at the moment

So apart from having to pay for the tyres, what else do you think they have been lying about if you don’t mind sharing.

Based on your earlier post, you must have one of the first build slots. Are you OK to share your provisional build date Garwen? I order on Friday 16th and mine is 28.05.2026

Take your business elsewhere and put a nice Email together to VW head of sales and CC in both dealerships explaining the reason for your change.

Hi
Didn’t want to jump on the other post re decisions. I’m looking at replacing my car in May. It’s 5 years old then and although it’s got low mileage and is in good condition I feel even with the All In Plan which comes to the end also in May  it’s time to say goodbye.
I am mulling over
MK 8.5 GTI which could be the car I was hoping for back in 2021 and didn’t get!
What are peoples thoughts on the ID3 GTX performance?  Electric cars in general?
Luxury car tax, didn’t apply in 2021 and is a factor to consider in especially with more changes in April to VED.
Other alternatives I.e. non performance cars,  what have people gone for if not VW.
Sorry for so many questions

Interesting. Like the idea of the plate even if it is a bit of a UK afterthought. Who told you this?
