ordered mine september.... build week 14... am i having my leg lifted or what?

It's very difficult to plan ahead with these lead times.  My old car will almost certainly need an MOT and Tax disc before new one arrives. :sick:

~6-7 month seems the norm from what i have read for orders placed since october 2009 unless its a car in the system that gets modified.

surely the dealership can help you out with the MOT? and just make sure you take your tax disc off when you trade in and claim the remainder back.

From what I remember my dealer gave me a fixed trade in based on 16 weeks.
Any more was their loss.

Yeah I'm sure I will be able to sort something out.

Get them to take your car in as agreed and put you in a loaner for a few weeks - did it for me - a few weeks of free motoring :)

Ordered my GTI with DSG just before Christmas 2010 and will be picking it up in 2 weeks :wink: not bad hey! I was lucky though as the dealer was able to amend a cancelled order to my spec.

Ordered mine 13th Dec 2009, car arrived 12 weeks later at dealer. Delivered to me 1 week after this. Total 13 weeks.
Cancelled order which I was able to amend spec to my liking.

Hi All,

Similar position to you Lowdown, order placed November and build week 14, anticipated deliverymid-April.

As Buck says, I'd enquire about the courtesy car - VW will provide this 16 weeks from order date until delivery, I've got mine coming March 14th. Might be an option to save you taxing / MOT'ing your old car?

Cheers

^^ +1

The valuation on trade in should be for 16 weeks. Any decent dealer will offer a loan car if you ask.
