Today's update from my dealer is that I have a confirmed BW40 starting Sun 29.09.13

My BW's have fluctuated and I was at BW51 at one point.

Am much happier now I have a confirmed BW and now have the Order Number, so I can track its progress.

Movement at last after ordering on May 18th!  :smiley:

Your doing well, you have caught up nearly 4 weeks on me.

This is the longest wait I've had for a new VW Golf and it will be my 10th Golf.  Even at the start of the Mk6 order debarcle mine was only 9 weeks.  I expect 12 or so, but its 16 weeks now and will be 19 weeks when it goes into the build phase!

I know, I am in the middle of week 21 and its still not in build, the excitement has totally gone I have started looking at mk 5 GTIs thinking I can buy one without finance.

Unfortunately when you get to this stage I believe you just have to bide your time. If you were to cancel you would probably regret it. Its a pain in the arse having to wait so long but the time will pass.

I got offered one this morning for 27k. Ex demo 5dr manual with a butt load of options in Carbon. Price is high but no wait and depending on what the options are it may actually be a good deal. Sooooooo tempted O_O

Just a little update on my situation.

So I've been in contact with my dealer again today. I said I was very suspicious of my Est Del day now as it's only 7 weeks away and I haven't even gotten a BW (confirmed or otherwise). When I challenged them on it they admitted it was in a non confirmed slot at BW51 (So December). This is a pretty standard time going by what everyone on here has experienced, however my blinders come down when someone lies to me so I immediately canceled the order.

The ironic thing is if they had given me that week at first I'd have accepted it as the norm and would be still be a customer  :grin:

Anyway I can't have a moan about it because most of you guys have been waiting half a year for your car, and I've managed to find an Ex Demo that will suit me quite nicely.

It has metallic paint (Carbon Grey), Adaptive Chassis Control, Winter Pack, and Sat Nav along with an SD Card (Didn't know they weren't standard, but apparently it's an extra?). So a few grands worth of extras, and a price tag of 25k when it's 3 month demo period is up (A few weeks from now). The one downside is it has 1000 miles on the clock, so it's seen a fairly demanding life the last few months, but being that this is the Scottish Highlands they're aren't as many car showrooms I guess!

I'm not sure what if anything I'll be able to get on top of that, but if my car hasn't sold by the time it's available I'll ask them to take it instead of haggling the price.

Thoughts? Opinions?

I looked into getting a demonstrator and found a nice one not too far away, it was the finance that killed it for me, you don't get the same deal when buying used, it worked out to be £100 a month more.

If you are paying cash though you wont have to worry.
